Arizona Immigration Decision (Andy McCarthy dissects Bolton decision-not good.)

National Review ^ | July 28, 2010 | Andy McCarthy

[wku man]

Can't count on the jury box or the ballot box, and the soap box is only preaching to the choir these days. We're almost out of options.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

[Regulator]

Her comments about "overwhelming" the federal immigration enforcement bureaucracy is absurd. It merely points out the severity of the problem. Her claim amounts to the assertion that the problem is so bad, the federal government simply can't cope with it. So Arizona better not try.

What this has to do with the "Constitutionality" of the law God only knows. It is nothing more than political muttering, better known as Legislating from the Bench.

Today we have seen one woman overthrow the duly made laws of the Legislature of the State of Arizona, based on her own prejudices and chatty opinions.

[Oldpuppymax]

TRANSLATION: A Clinton appointee (probably APPROVED by Orrin Hatch, Lindsey Graham, etc) simply ignored/misrepresented/prostituted the law. What a shock!!

[moehoward]

" Just do it anyway."

Arpio has been doing for years.

[Tarpon]

Yeah, I don’t see why Brewer doesn’t implement 287-G statewide ... Surely it would cost less to detain than it would to pay the moochers there free services.

[Political Junkie Too]

Constitutionally, I only see where Congress has the power to define "uniform rules of naturalization." It doesn't say anything about enforcement of the law.

Congress can define the rules to become a citizen for all states, but the states still have the power of law enforcement.

I also don't buy the argument that a federal decision to not enforce the law is binding on states to not enforce a law. This judge is saying that the feds affirmatively decided to ignore a law, and therefore that is a decision that the states have to abide, because states forcing the feds to live up to their laws takes away the power of feds to ignore their own laws after they are passed?

She's nuts...

[Herbster]

I could not agree anymore, fonebone.

FUBO!

The war has begun.

[moehoward]

I don’t know. AZ has been stuck with millions in shortages because the feds don’t reimburse. I still say attrition is the way out of this mess. Make them want to leave the same way they got here. Threaten this law or that. Cops can still impound cars and detain Illegals with or without 1070.

[garbanzo]

feds refuse to enforce the law

US Constitution, Article II Section 3
"[the President] shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed..."

Grounds for impeachment.

[JohnBovenmyer]

>Susie Q is a Klintoon (x42) appointee...

And, I think, also a McCain comfirmee...

[greyfoxx39]

The author of the law stated that it was a temporary injunction and Bolton allowed the portion of the bill that requires agencies to enforce federal immigration law to the fullest extent to remain in place.

There will be a lot of adjusting going on until SCOTUS settles the matter.

[TLI]

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good.

He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

[Godwin1]

Another vile, despicable, undemocratic decision from a cheap, agenda-driven political hack in judge's robes. In the hands of those who want a divided, balkanized, hyphenated America, this government is lurching inexorably towards illegitimacy. God help us!

[Regulator]

She's nuts...

Read her bio. Third rate attorney from lightweight schools.

A political hack doing nothing more than the bidding of her masters.

[editor-surveyor]

Judge Susan Bolton must be removed from the court. This decision is beyond outrageous.

[editor-surveyor]

“I can see November from Arizona.”

.
And I can see an Alaskan November in 2012!

Only one candidate has spoken out in this direction (so far)
.

[Waco]

It looks like it’s gettinhg to where 0’b and his judges can’t get together as to which foot to shuffle off on fist.

[eggman]

You can't expect a judge to burden the federal government to do the job it is supposed to be doing. Their too busy writing laws that give them a whole set of new powers which they can selectively choose to enforce.

[Regulator]

Funny. Those were the very words I was thinking of when I saw this.

My ancestors rebelled against a king over less.

[tet68]

Although the State has no direct interest in controlling entry into this country,

Any state that has a border against a foreign country
or boundry should have a direct interest, if for nothing
else the protection of their own citizens.

If nothing else they could set their own STATE border
INSIDE the national one, call it an agricultural inspection zone etx.

I don’t see the current supremes backing the courts
reasoning but you never know.
