This sort of gets to my point in the previous thread. It seems that Brewer's popularity stems from the fact that she is standing up to Barry and the lawless out- of -control federal government..

...it's almost like the immigration issue is incidental

Yeah, and how about the 3500 acres that this Obama administration has ceded to Mexico basically by posting signs for US citizens saying that it is too dangerous for law enforcment to enter this huge section of the state of Arizona. Obama has decided that this 3500 acre corridor into the US is just perfect for human trafficing and such things so he has given the mexican nationals full command of the area: there are heavily armed Mexican miltias with machine guns that escort the human trafficers in and out of the US.

So rather than try to keep the people of Arizona safe from kidnapping, murder, car jacking, human trafficing, drug running, gangland gun fights, and other kinds of fun brought in by these Mexican militias Obama is going to sue Arizona for being bothered by all this criminal activity.

And liberals think it is great that we are giving up part of one of our states to the control of foreign national militias. At least they are not those nasty right wingers who foolishly think we should be safe in our homes because the Government protects us. Not according to Obama! Obama will be the first president to give states away because he is too lame to defend his own countrymen.

So if Ecuadorians are hitching a ride north, to get to the U.S. don't they have to move through Mexico?

And isn't Mexico's anti-immigration policy far, far worse then say the U.S's?

So Hillary, why don't you just make things worse for everyone.

Just to be pedantic (and because this almost never gets mentioned) Arizona's law is not an immigration law.  It's a law that identifies those illegally in the US and holds them, either in Arizona jails for breaking that law, or for ICE to deport.

Arizona has made no laws concerning naturalizing anyone, has made no law taking legal residency status away from anyone, and has made no law which Arizona uses to deport anyone.  Arizona's law is far short of an "immigration" law.

This wasn't directed at you, but only to make the point of the difference between Congress' power to make uniform laws of naturalization and Arizona's law making it illegal to be in Arizona illegally, according to Congress' law.

Undeniably, that's a guy with MOXIE!

I told you all that Meg Whitman is a lying piece of crap.

One of the 30-second spots, aired during World Cup games and other programs, highlights Whitman's opposition both to a recent Arizona law targeting illegal immigrants and to Proposition 187, a 1994 voter initiative that would have cut illegal immigrants from state services.

At one point in the ad, Whitman is shown dining with two Latinas in a restaurant full of Latinos as an announcer says in Spanish, "She respects our community."

Hey D'oh...ever brined your pork??

...and no..that's not a euphemism for something dirty

Joy Behar and Jeaneanne Garafalo are sad.  Oh, and terrified of Sarah Palin.  From Newsbusters, via Tim Blair's Daily Telegraph (AU) blog.

On WednesdayÂ’s Joy Behar Show, HLN host Behar led a discussion of President ObamaÂ’s Address to the Nation with left-wing actress Janeane Garofalo and liberal commentator Ron Reagan, all of whom had some criticisms for President Obama regarding the BP oil spill and his speech on the subject. Garofalo started off complaining that "the prayer thing he did was pandering and anti-intellectual and just sort of a waste of time." After Behar pointed out that Obama had placed some of the blame on Mineral Management Service members who were still in place from the Bush administration, Garofalo did not give Obama a pass: "Right, so why did he not take care of that when he got into office?"

Reagan complained that his speech was "too little too late," and that "he`s a corporatist like all our other Presidents have been for a long, long time. That`s what`s being revealed here. Barack Obama is just as much a corporatist as George H.W. – or George W. Bush was."

While Behar was generally more inclined to defend Obama, at one point even she asserted that President ObamaÂ’s failure to meet with the head of BP was "so Bush, Bush-like. It`s shocking that he`s behaving this way," prompting Garofalo to lament: "I don`t know who's giving him the worst advice in the world. I don`t know, I don`t know why this presidency has been as disappointing as it has been. I really feel like he`s being advised terribly."

After Behar fretted that "some Sarah Palin clone" who would be "even worse" might replace Obama, Reagan pessimistically concluded that "you get somebody worse if itÂ’s not Barack Obama":

BEHAR: And who`s going to take the place? Who are we going to get instead of him? Some Sarah Palin clone, or she herself? It`ll be even worse.

REAGAN: That`s the dilemma.

BEHAR: Isn`t that`s a scary thought?

REAGAN: That`s the dilemma for liberals. That`s the dilemma for progressives and liberals is you get somebody worse if it's not Barack Obama, even though Barack Obama isn't doing what we want him to do.

"If we're talking about pot, I'm not for the legalization of pot,” Palin said. “I think that would just encourage our young people to think that it was OK to go ahead and use it.”

“However, I think we need to prioritize our law enforcement efforts,” Palin added. “If somebody's gonna smoke a joint in their house and not do anybody any harm, then perhaps there are other things our cops should be looking at to engage in and try to clean up some of the other problems we have in society.”

I wonder if the Indonesian Imbecile is going to ask Arizona to stop arresting bank robbers.  Bank robbery is a federal rap, after all, and we can't have local cops showing up at bonk robberies and possibly arresting the perps.  That's the feds' job. 

Who thinks this bank robbery part will be added to the suit - to get those bothersome Arizona cops out of cases of federal jurisdiction?  (I guess the FBI will have to have beat "cops" start patrolling Arizona to be there for bank robberies that will take place ...)

Late as usual, but my quick gut reaction is that, while a disgrace, this is not a bad thing in pure political terms.

There appears to be a pretty substantial majority of Americans that support efforts to increase border security and to curtail illegal imigration. I'm not a lawyer, but I don't sense this will be any kind of slam dunk for the administration. If AZ fights back hard both legally and politically, this could be another situation like Obamacare where the administration, the Democrats and the media showcase their true colors and vision of where the country should go. That is a debate we should be licking our chops to have.
