U.S. Supreme Court should overturn Arizona's anti-illegal-immigration law THE U.S. Supreme Court should strike down four troubling provisions of Arizona's anti-illegal-immigration law. They conflict with federal laws and ought not become models for states grappling with illegal immigration.

The federal government has exclusive authority over immigration enforcement. One can debate the efficacy of federal efforts but Arizona's 2010 immigration law was a wrongheaded attempt to supersede federal law.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked key provisions of the law, including requiring law enforcement to question people about their immigration status, ask for documentation and detain those without it. Arguments that this could lead to racial profiling are persuasive. The immigration status of people arrested would also have to be determined before they could be released

We need to protect our southern border as zealously as we protect the South Korean border, with troops, landmines and razor wire.

The constant rain up there softens their brains. Makes them soggy.

Then, again, it was the home to the wobblies.

This is the one thing that pissed me off about George W. He didn’t close the borders. He listened to his Daddy, Mommy and wife who are all liberals.

Here from FR is statement made by Wise Latina

“What percentage of the American people who took their son or daughter to an emergency room and that child was turned away because the parent didn’t have insurance,” asked Sotomayor, “... do you think there’s a large percentage of the American population that would stand for the death of that child — (who) had an allergic reaction and a simple shot would have saved the child?”

I have a precise answer for Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

The percentage of American people who took their son or daughter to an emergency room and were turned away because the parent didn’t have insurance is exactly zero.

No person, whether American or not, is ever turned away from an emergency room for lack of health insurance. Ever.

This simply does not happen.

Throughout history when the citizens of a nation find that they can not and will not be accorded either justice or redress from those, Judges, bureaucrats, or politicians, tasked with administering justice and or redress, the citizens find they must correct these miscreants, quite often violently, by hanging, guillotine, or simply shooting.

From watching what is happening in our nation, a correct observation would be that judges, bureaucrats, and politicians, have failed to study or acquire any knowledge of such history.
Are you paying attention 9th circuit?

In thirty years I would be 93 if still alive and still hunting the a—holes that got us to that status.
The trigger that puts me over the edge is not far of. Don’t know what that trigger is just yet but it’s close.

“It would be sweet just watching them react to Mr. Newt.....”

We're you around in 1996 when Newt was elected Speaker?

That was not sweet.

Pelosi filed more than 100 bogus ethics charges against him.

The Hard Left MSM rioted and pillaged Conservatism for four years.

Newt - then as now - had no strategy to counter the MSM and Democratic Party onslaught.

By 1998 Newt imploded and was forced to resign.
