However, Johnson DOES need to be more discerning in considering the concerns expressed by his fellow House Republicans. If you rush through these bills without really delving into what you are funding, the Biden administration will take advantage to fund all sorts of unconstitutional crap ...
'Entirely Unconstitutional'! DOJ's Red Flag Announcement on Guns Sets Off #2A Red Flags

With people streaming into the country illegally by the millions since Biden took office (often with tragic consequences for Americans), this administration is determined to keep its focus on infringing on the constitutional rights of law-abiding American citizens. Here's the latest example:
U.S. Department of Justice (@TheJusticeDept) ~
Justice Department Launches the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center
http://justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-launches-national-extreme-risk-protection-order-resource-center
Does the "National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center" sound Orwellian enough?
[i]The Justice Department launched the National Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) Resource Center (the Center) which will provide training and technical assistance to law enforcement officials, prosecutors, attorneys, judges, clinicians, victim service and social service providers, community organizations, and behavioral health professionals responsible for implementing laws designed to keep guns out of the hands of people who pose a threat to themselves or others.
“The launch of the National Extreme Risk Protection Order Resource Center will provide our partners across the country with valuable resources to keep firearms out of the hands of individuals who pose a threat to themselves or others,” said Attorney General Merrick B. Garland. “The establishment of the Center is the latest example of the Justice Department’s work to use every tool provided by the landmark Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to protect communities from gun violence.”
Rep. Thomas Massie is among those sounding the alarm over this "federal red flag center":
Thomas Massie (@RepThomasMassie) ~ What the hell is this evil? A Federal Red Flag center; We did not authorize this. Announced, of course, just hours after the omnibus passes.
The Biden White House doesn't seem to care about congressional authorization.
Phil Labonte, Talent Terrorist (@philthatremains) ~ This is an entirely unconstitutional innovation.
"Entirely unconstitutional" is emblazoned on the Biden administration's family crest.
Mayor John Huffman (@JohnRHuffman) ~ No constitutional authority. No oversight. Created and run by bureaucrats who you didn’t hire, you can’t fire, and who don’t think they work for you.
Spitfire (@DogRightGirl) ~ The Gestapo is growing. Are you understanding what is happening? Its going to get worse.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (@RepMTG) ~ Merrick Garland just announced a massive Red Flag Operation that the DOJ will be running by using EVERY spy tool the US government has in order to violate American’s Second Amendment!!
This comes right after Johnson fully funded Biden’s weaponized DOJ!
Jerrod Sessler for Congress '24 (@Sessler) ~ Another weapon of the DOJ pointed at the American people. Not to protect them but to harass & harm them!
The Justice Department is already getting some tips:
Tired of being politically correct (@USBornNRaised) ~ Report yourself.

Yeah, illegals - report yourself!
Julie Kelly (@julie_kelly2) ~ I’d like to report the FBI.
Look into that, Justice Department!
The Justice Department needs to be gutted.
Breanna Morello (@BreannaMorello) ~ Will this apply to illegal aliens as well or just Americans?
We're guessing "just Americans" is the correct answer.
