Stand With Arizona
And then there were three.
Obama's Department of Injustice on Monday afternoon filed suit in Federal court to block South Carolina's immigration enforcement law, which is set to take effect January 1st, 2012. This joins the DOJ lawsuits against Arizona and Alabama, each of which resulted in partial blocks of those laws by Federal District judges. (Georgia and Indiana have also had portions of their own laws blocked, after lawsuits from the ACLU and other groups).
Eric Holder & Co. are targeting provisions of the South Carolina that inconvenience their illegal alien constituency, including those that:
As usual the DOJ showed it has a view of immigration enforcement that is upside down, and in opposition to Federal law and Congress:
"By pursuing retribution and ignoring every other objective embodied in the federal immigration system (including the federal government's prioritization of the removal of criminal aliens)," the Justice Department argued, the South Carolina law "conflicts with and otherwise stands as an obstacle to Congress's demand for sufficient flexibility in the enforcement of federal immigration law to accommodate the competing interests of immigration control, national security and public safety, humanitarian concerns, and foreign relations."Retribution? That is how the Obama Administration views the just and proper enforcement of Federal immigration law - as akin to vigilante justice? Utterly disgraceful.
And how exactly is South Carolina "ignoring" the "prioritization of the removal of criminal aliens"? How does the DOJ presume to find the criminal aliens if their immigration status cannot be determined? By checking immigration status during a lawful stop or arrest, South Carolina's law enables law enforcement to find and detain criminal aliens - in line with Federal law, Secure Communities and Section 287(g). Clearly the Obama Regime does not want them to be found or detained.
EXCERPT...READ THE REST HERE
By election time, Obama will have lawsuits pending all across America. He seems more incline to work against our interests,rather than do the job he is elected to do. He stills has the gunwalker scandal,the Solyndra ,scandal,and The latest DoE loan recipient to declare bankruptcy is Beacon Power Corp:
A Massachusetts company that received a $43 million Energy Department loan guarantee last year filed for bankruptcy Sunday, a step certain to fuel criticism of federal green energy financing in the wake of the solar company Solyndra’s collapse.
Beacon Power Corp., which develops energy storage systems, filed for bankruptcy protection in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.
Beacon Power had received federal loan guarantee to help build an energy storage plant in Stephentown, New York that began operating in January. The Treasury Department’s Federal Financing Bank provided the loan.
Beacon sought bankruptcy protection two days after the White House ordered an independent 60-day evaluation of the Energy Department’s loan programs aimed at ensuring effective management and monitoring.
