[War] US: Hi, Chicago.

[John Penta]

"Hi, Chicago."

    "Kay, you're from Chicago. Well, close enough, anyway," John
grinned as they watched the news. "What the hell is with Daley? Why
does he seem to want to "

    Kay threw a pillow at him. He ducked, and it flew harmlessly by,
landing near Akela, who whimpered at the humans throwing things when
he was napping. "Because he thinks he can. Just," she teased, "like
any other man."

    That got his wife tickled in response, until her squealing got a
reaction from Luke, who howled for the attention he felt he deserved.
Mom was thus let go from the tickle attack, and as she went to comfort
him, Dad grinned as he thought.

    "Unfortunately, Judge Potter is one of the fair ones."

    So, with a sigh, he got to writing.

Fr: POTUS
To: Richard M. Daley, Mayor, City of Chicago
Re: Recent events involving The Hon. Harold W. Potter, US Dist. Judge,
Northern Dist. of IL

Mayor Daley:

    The President, as you know, has an obligation under the
Constitution to "take care that the laws are faithfully executed". As
you also know, that includes enforcing the decisions of federal
courts.

    Thus, I cannot help but note with regret your attempt to relieve
Judge Potter of his pistol, as part of your opposition to the decision
of the District Court in the Case of Taylor v. City of Chicago.

    Mr. Mayor, please understand: I sympathize with your opposition. I
may not agree in whole, but I understand it. However, the court's
decision was clear: Chicago's regulations were struck down as a result
of the decision of the Supreme Court in Parker v. D.C.. The
Attorney-General has advised me that a stay of the decision has been
denied by the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit.

    As such, Mr. Mayor, I remind you respectfully that we are both
sworn to uphold the laws of the United States. You may not like it,
but the decision of the Court must be obeyed unless and until you get
either a stay of the same decision or the overturning of the decision.
It applied in 1954, it applies in 2014.

    Mr. Mayor, fight things the right way. Seek a stay if you so
choose. Until then, sir, you must enforce the decision of the court.

   Respectfully,
  John P. Williams
 President of the United States

He emailed it to DC for printing and sending to Chicago.

"Damn Daley. Do not make an issue of this. Just enforce the damn
laws," Williams muttered.

Actions:
1. Very politely nudge Mayor Daley. Give the gun back to the judge.
Enforce the court's decision. Or they can hold you in contempt. Your
choice.
