After heated debates and in spite of overwhelming opposition from Democrats, laws have been passed by the federal government that states must obey. But there is growing outright defiance of these laws. Democrat governors are threatening to block enforcement of these laws. There’s already been some violence, and it looks like there could be a lot more. The president and attorney general are furious. They’re warning these governors to either obey the laws of the United States or they will deploy the National Guard. There’s outrage about that, too. Some claim the attorney general is not fully independent and does whatever the president orders. You probably think I’m referring to the enforcement of federal immigration laws in Minnesota. Actually, I’m referring to events that happened 62 years ago when the country was moving toward racial integration. But racist Democrat governors and mayors openly defied the federal government.
