That is a good idea although I thought Brewer already did something similar.
LOL!
Get the docs, phone records and public video, this is another one for the articles of impeachment.
Also the right should work on abolishment of sanctuary cities.
Let’s see what hey have after that.
Oh, the first state to succede, I’m there to work my *ss off and defend it.
So as you’re citizens are killed ,kidnapped; drug dealers with the help of Mex army regulars/equipment/weapons and Islamists coming across; while there are heads and limbs right at the border and the oath to protect against enemies foreign and domestic is ignored, what is the recourse of a state?
For winning this case? I would guess that going the opposite way and instead of arguing for sovereignty arguing that the similarity between the federal and state law and that the end result of finding an illegal immigrant is to turn them over to ICE makes this law in accordance with Federal immigration law.
I haven’t looked at the Federal law, but I would guess it directs local law enforcement to check immigration status. If so, highlighting that makes more sense than trying a 10th amendment case.
Potentially not much. Immigration is an enumerated power of the Federal government. They don’t even have to sneak it in under general welfare.
My main point is from a pragmatic point of view, arguing this case under the 10th amendment isn’t a good idea. The very few cases that have succeeded under the 10th are exactly the opposite of this. The Federal government telling states to enforce Federal laws.
Getting sued will be the least of this Regimes’ concern,
the civil war that will occur should be their greater worry.
The Obama administration has announced that it intends to sue Arizona over its new law .... before it takes effect on July 29.
Hmmm?!?
If that's the case then (IMHO) 'The Obama administration' doesn't have 'standing'.
In order to sue in Federal Court you must first show that you HAVE BEEN harmed (past tense) in order to have 'Standing', and then you continue on from there. So if they sue before the law is the law, no harm has been done. (You cannot sue on a hypothetical, 'what if', 'future harm')
This ploy of 'standing' has been Barry's ace in hiding all his documents.
No 'harm', no 'standing'.
“the civil war that will occur should be their greater worry”
I’m convinced that is the agenda.
Smith and Wesson and other arms manufactures have had their best sales period since this Regime came into power, good thing.
Better.... Liberal, Progressive loons are allergic to firearms.

Do you support Arizonas tough new law on illegal immigration?
In July, Arizona will begin enforcing a new law that requires law enforcement officers to check someones immigration status if they have reason to suspect that he or she is in the country illegally. Do you think this is a good idea?

“Better yet have them try and join up with Mexico...that will cause a great stir...”
Yikes! No thank-you. I’d rather see Arizona and Texas join together and from a free country....the Southwest Confederation of America. Invite Oklahoma to join, too.
