Intolerable Acts (United States)

= Effects = The first of these acts concerned the internal police of the States, which under this act was to become the exclusive competence of the Federation, by force if necessary.

The final, and most severe, dispute under these acts culminated in the assassination of the Governor of Arizona at the time, Sergio Valenzuela, by Federation soldiers after he refused to submit to an extrajudicial decree by Judge XXXX of the FEDERALCOURTNAME and presidential decrees by President Scalia himself stemming from the unconstitutional act passed by the National-Progressive dominated Federal Parliament. The judicial decree, which ordered the State of Arizona to transfer all criminal and civil cases in State and local courts to Federal courts, surrender all police powers to the United States, to order the people of Arizona to house Federation soldiers in their homes at their expense, and to disband the State Legislature indefinitely, was flatly ignored by the Valenzuela Administration. In fact, the State of Arizona did not even answer the Judge's summons to present itself before the Court, and so the case was decided in absentia. The position of Governor Valenzuela being that the law at hand on which the case rested was an illegal act and was thus not law, and by extent any judicial or executive decision stemming from that law were unauthoritative as well, and as such to comply with any such illegal order would be both seditious and treasonous against the State and the United States, the Court and the Scalia Government each rejecting that position lèse-majesté, the Government issued decrees which purported to declare the office of governor of Arizona to be vacant, the Legislature abolished, charging the State Defense Force and all State and local police with sedition and treason, and purported to declare the State of Arizona abolished; and issued arrest warrants for all members of the Legislature, Governor Valenzuela and all civil, military, and judicial Officers of the State.

Responding to this unprecedented and existential threat to the people and state of Arizona, and to the same of the other States, Governor responded by first invoking the collective defense clause of the federal constitution and calling for the other States to come to the aid of Arizona, and immediately thereafter issuing emergency executive orders, one mobilizing the State Defense Force, and another placing all State and local law enforcement agencies under the command of the State secretary of public safety and transferring the State Defense Force and all agencies of the Arizona Department of Emergency and Military Affairs to the Arizona Department of Public Safety (as the Arizona secretary of emergency and military affairs being required by US law to swear alliegance to the President, it would be inappropriate for the State of Arizona to place any agency or any armed body under his control). At the same time, he called the Legislature into emergency session and requested they issue a declaration of emergency and pass emergency legislation, which they did, providing that "any civil or judicial Officer of the United States, and any soldier, seaman, airman, or marine of the United States, and any Person giving them aid or comfort, that executes, or conspires to execute any law, or any judicial or executive decree in contravention of the Constitution and Laws of the State of Arizona [shall] be guilty of treason against the people and state of Arizona" and punished "by death, without service of clergy" (AZLAWNAME). Upon this development, the Scalia Government issued decrees declaring every State abolished and all Officers of each of them to be traitors, unlawful combatants, and to be executed on sight.

Blahblahblah.

Events culminated in armed battle between Valenzuela and the armed forces loyal to Arizona, aided by the Vampire King of Arizona and the Vampires of Arizona, on one side, and President Scalia's military on the other. By the end of the battle, all of Scalia's men were either dead or captured for interrogation; but the victory was pyrrhic: Valenzuela was among the Arizonans killed by Scalia's personal military. Unfortunately for Scalia and his National-Progressive coalition, the whole incident was televised live, being recorded and broadcast by Arizona vampires to every television, phone, and computer throughout the United States, leading to massive, violent unrest the likes of which no man or body of men could hope to cull without escalating the unrest. Blahblahblah.
