The evil Prince Andy Cuomo, first born of Hamlet on the Hudson, Mario Cuomo -- is showing his Obamanation side....

After ramming a totally unenforceable and poorly thought out tough gun law through his Dim lap dogs in the New York Legislature --- Prince Andrew is now getting plumb snappy.... and power happy.

In January, the New York State Sheriff's Association sent him a letter with an analysis of the law and suggested some minor changes to make it more enforceable. So, the elected leaders of the Sheriff's Association were invited  to come to Albany to discuss their recommendations..... they thought. 

Instead, the meeting was used to cudgel the sheriffs and demand they "stop publicly speaking out against the act"!

 “The governor was of the opinion that the sheriffs around the state should not be interjecting their personal opinions in reference to the law,”  Chemung County Sheriff Moss said, adding that Cuomo said sheriffs can’t do that and enforce the law.

Then, it is said, the son of the father threatened to remove sheriffs from office, a little-used power afforded the state’s chief executive under the state constitution. Moss would not confirm this. He did say the meeting was heated at times.....

 Keeping in mind that County Sheriffs are elected by the voters of their county, and not in any way appointed by or subject to the governor of the State of New York, this kind of threat raises alarm bells in a nation that is already fearing for the life of their 1st and 2nd Amendment rights.

Here is the little paragraph buried in the NY State Constitution that apparently Cuomo is trying to use like a club to beat the sheriffs into submission:

He who would be President if he can....

ARTICLE XIII, §13.(a) The governor may remove any elective sheriff, county clerk, district attorney or register within the term for which he or she shall have been elected; but before so doing the governor shall give to such officer a copy of the charges against him or her and an opportunity of being heard in his or her defense.

I wonder what the charges would be? Failing to bow low enough before his majesty? Using any words except 'Yessir' in their responses to his comments....?

It's our country, Pilgrims, and if we don't start standing up for it, the elitist ruling class is gonna take it away from us piece by piece by piece.......

I reflect back to the election of 1994, when Papa Mario was running for a 3rd term. His home base, the metro- New York City area plus Long Island was his base of unbeatable support - although the solid citizens of upstate and western New York were plumb tired of him.  An organization on Long Island started a campaign, simply saying , "It's as simple as ABC - "Anybody But Cuomo!"...   He lost Nassau & Suffolk counties out on the Island and the governor's office as well - Republican George Pataki was swept into office for two full terms to try to right the ship that the elder Cuomo almost sunk...   

Unfortunately, voters have short memories.......
