He REFUSES to Follow the Law

If you're a Republican or Democrat on this committee, you should be really, really freaked out.Now that you are on the job, can you commit to us that if a court judges something ICE is doing, something DHS is doing as a legal unconstitutional, tells you to stop, that you will comply with the court order?

Ranking Member Murphy, I will tell you that we will never break the Constitution, and we're not going to break the law, but we're going to enforce our nation's laws.And we're going to enforce the laws that you guys passed.and that we implement.We will never go outside that, and if we do, we'll hold each other accountable for that.

But that doesn't sound like the same thing as committing that you will obey a court order.Obviously, the entire structure of the federal government gives the power to the federal courts to divine whether you are obeying the law or not.I mean, I think it's an easy thing to say.Yeah.Will you or will you not implement court orders?

If we didn't think that, if we didn't think courts were politicized, then I would probably be able to answer that, but we see courts over and over again that use their bench for their political, uh, opinion, not just the rule of law.

And we can see that because we see how many times - I didn't say - No, I didn't say - No, what I said - No, no, don't put words in my mouth.

That's not - What are you saying then?What I'm saying is we'll enforce the law and we're never going to break the constitution.You just said that you will not follow every court order because you know the christer it again or don't don't start putting words on that that's not what i said i said i will never break the constitution we're gonna force the law will will you implement court orders when they tell you to stop and you're you're didn't make an assumption on court orders i haven't really not i i'm going to enforce law and i'll never break the constitution i think this night
