To our Lawyers, can he do that legally ?

Alabama governor signs law protecting Confederate monuments from removalAlabama’s Republican governor has effectively safeguarded the state’s Confederate monuments from removal amid a recent purge of Civil War relics within neighboring states.
Gov. Kay Ivey signed the Alabama Memorial Preservation Act of 2017 on Wednesday, putting in place measures to protect decades-old statues, monuments and other tributes from Decatur to Dothan.
Officially the legislation (http://arc-sos.state.al.us/PAC/SOSACPDF.001/A0012128.PDF) prohibits the “relocation, removal, alteration, renaming or other disturbance of any architecturally significant building, memorial building, memorial street or monument located on public property which has been in place for 40 or more years.”
The law’s Republican supporters say the legislation is meant to protect all monuments with historical significants, but critics claim the effort is intended to assure the state’s Confederate monuments are left alone as opponent rally for their removal.
“Contrary to what its detractors say, the Memorial Preservation Act is intended to preserve all of Alabama’s history ― the good and the bad ― so our children and grandchildren can learn from the past to create a better future,” the bill’s main backer, Republican State Sen. Gerald Allen of Tuscaloosa, said in a statement Wednesday.

Sure. It can also be challenged in court. I am not sure that any challenge would be successful. It doesn't seem as if a court would use a standard higher than arbitrary and capricious.

Good. The ultra libs seem to think you can run from history. What they don't realize is that slavery, indentured seritude and class structure much like slavery existed world wide in the old world and even in many tribal cultures . So what did the want to do, eliminate all history prior to the 1800's? Morons!

Well people have to remember what municipalities are. They are 'creatures of the state' -- they really aren't separate from the state at all and the state can create and destroy them at will. Basically the state is prohibiting its municipaloties from removing Confederate monuments. The same logic exists behind TX' logic to prohibit citirs in TX frkm being sanctuary cities.

It's not about whether she can do it .. she did do it.

But it won't stand up when challenged in court.

Eventually they'll be forced to do what other southern states have done ...

The people of the south should decide what they want to do with their monuments. It's ultimately a question of their identity. It's not the business of white progressives from Boise.

Higher courts and SCOTUS if necessary will agree that symbols of the darkest chapter in American history don't belong in public places.

Well what happens when Japanese-Americans challenge statues to FDR, or Native Americans challenge the naming of Columbus, OH or the large Columbus statue in Columbus Circle in NYC. You are proposing a doctrine without any real bounds beyond an unelected judge determining what monuments or memorials will be pernitted to exist. Indeed, the issue in New Orleans is currently clearly within the purview of the city. There's kind've the rub because, as noted, municipalities clearly are creatures of the state. You can dispute that if you wish but the bottom line is that we live in a federal where the states are unitary states. States can order municipalities not to do things and that's why in NJ the state can annex towns to other towns and dissolve the governing body, this is why a state can take over a school district, this is why a state can simply not permit a town to have jurisdiction over felony crimes (in NJ they are heard at state courts with each county having one) and so on.

I don't see this law as any different from any other law protecting historic buildings or other historical artifacts. The town I live in is over 400 years old. It played a key role in the history of the American Southwest. Many of the buildings, because of age, design, or historical significance are protected by law and cannot be torn down or altered.

This is just a variation of the same concept.

Good for Alabama.

Frederick Douglass
Where: South Caroline Street and Philpot Street
A large bust of abolitionist Frederick Douglass sits outside the Frederick Douglass-Isaac Myers Maritime Park. The park is on the site of the first African American-owned shipyard in the United States, where Douglass worked during his early years in Baltimore. Another Douglass monument is located on the campus of Morgan State University.

I love my country. We need a president picked by the people, not an imposter picked by a foreign power.

A foreign power didn't pick your president. The American people and the electoral college covered that.

You're welcome.

Russia is making you look like a fool, however.

I'm not trying to force my opinion on the peoples of the south. An obvious point missed by @DGUtley (http://thepoliticalforums.com/member.php?u=2019) no worries barrister

I laugh at the fact that you live in Boise because you feel compelled to remind everyone how awesome black people are and how much you love diversity. Obviously, there is some psychological tension there and I find it amusing. :grin:

Funny, don't recall "reminding everyone how awesome black people are".

And Boise is one of about 5 cities where i've lived. My being here now has NOTHING to do from escaping them either.

Give it a rest ;-)

Your tagged because you have a bad habit of ignoring.

I use threaded mode which to me is easiest for figuring out who's talking to whom (especially when people don't include an original quote - see Captain Obvious) ...

But probably a little harder to find responses to my posts.

And i don't mind being tagged - obviously it bothers Mister D.

LoL

The electoral vote and $1 might get trump locked up.

The Orange Gasbag Putin Puppet's days are numbered.

Good times!™ :D
