Moses Johnson admits the GOP hates the US Constitution

For a fleeting moment in Washington, top Democrats believed last week they could reach a deal with the GOP to set new limits on President Donald Trump’s nationwide immigration enforcement after federal agents killed two US citizens in Minnesota.

-snip-

Congress’ push for a bipartisan deal to scale back federal immigration officers’ powers is now in doubt, with Speaker Mike Johnson ruling out two of Democrats’ biggest demands after the deaths of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis. Johnson is among many Republicans who are refusing Democrats’ demands to stop searches without a judicial warrant and unmask ICE officers in public. Instead, many GOP lawmakers are issuing their own must-haves, like language to end so-called sanctuary cities – a nonstarter for Democrats.

Johnson said Tuesday that Republicans are “never” going to agree to requiring that ICE agents obtain warrants from a judge, rather than simply getting the greenlight from a Trump administration official.

“It is unimplementable. It cannot be done, and it should not be done. It’s not necessary,” he said.

Mike Johnson will join all the other former disgraced gop Speakers of the House.

I wonder why he thinks it's unimplementable? Because he doesn't think it is necessary, his words.
