2nd Circuit Hits a Homer on Sanctuary Cities

What a constitutional home run the Second United States Circuit Court of Appeals just clobbered against, among others, the sanctuary city of New York. It cleared the way for Attorney General Barr to require recipients of certain federal funds to cooperate with federal authorities. It would take the Yankees announcer John Sterling to do the opinion justice. Let us just say, It is high. It is far. It is gone.

And no wonder. The panel of judges in the case Reena Raggi, who wrote the opinion, along with Jose Cabranes and Ralph Winter would be like a lineup of sluggers comprising, say, Mickey Mantle, George Herman Babe Ruth, and Barry Bonds. The judges were unanimous and, with the confidence that only big league hitters can muster, they swept aside contrary opinions of several other federal circuits.
