Malignant Liberal Idiocy

Cross-posted from Conservative Common Man:

Common sense dictates that landlords should be allowed to know who rents their apartments, houses, or condos. Common sense cannot be found in the courtroom of U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle. What can be found in Boyle’s courtroom is yet another weapon in the federal court war on the citizens of this country. Judge Boyle’s tactical target is the citizens of Farmer’s Branch, Texas.

Newsmax.com reports:

DALLAS — A federal judge on Friday stopped a Dallas suburb’s latest attempt to drive away illegal immigrants, ruling that Farmers Branch cannot enforce a ban on home rentals to those who can’t prove they live legally in the country.

U.S. District Judge Jane Boyle’s temporary restraining order stopped an ordinance that had been set to go into effect Saturday. The ordinance was intended to replace a similar measure that was struck down in federal court.

“We’re very disappointed in Judge Boyle’s view of the ordinance, but we’re confident that ultimately it will be upheld by the federal court system,” said Michael Jung, the attorney representing the city of Farmers Branch.

The judge said the ordinance has the potential to cause irreparable injury to landlords who are likely to lose business to neighboring cities that don’t have similar laws.

I suppose if neighboring cities didn’t have similar laws against public nudity, a city that had outlawed public nudity would not be allowed to enforce its laws. I can see that there would be “irreparable injury to” grocery store owners that refused service to nude shoppers who would likely go elsewhere to shop.

Put another way, illegal aliens are going to rent property so it should be legal. People are going to drive drunk anyway, so that should also be legal.
