ATLANTA — On Monday afternoon, the Georgia Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case out of Gwinnett County in which a Mexican citizen claims the state law requiring driver’s licenses discriminates against illegal immigrants.

Fernando Castillo-Solis also argues that the 287(g) program, which is used in Gwinnett’s jail as well as others, including Cobb’s, allows law-enforcement officers to racially profile.

The state statute at issue regarding driver’s licenses, section 40-5-20, indicates that those charged with driving without a license may not be prosecuted if they get a valid license before their court date.

The Cobb Sheriff’s Office has been trying to get the General Assembly to clarify that statute in recent years. Not surprisingly, the case has drawn ire and praise from Cobb citizens on opposing sides of the illegal-immigration debate.

The fact that this can even be a lawsuit is proof positive that my disrespect for the legal system is justified.

CW-II, it’s coming.

Here in Nevada, fully 1/3 of my auto insurance costs are due to illegal drivers.

That is the most I have ever paid & I lived in California for over 40 years!!!

"The fact that this can even be a lawsuit is proof positive that my disrespect for the legal system is justified."

Amen to that!

The FACT that American Citizens have "NO STANDING" to question the coverup and blatant forgeries and schemes to hide the Qualifications for the POTUS, yet FOREIGN ILLEGAL INVADERS have Standing to bring crap Lawuits is proof positve, too.

If you are not here LEGALLY, we can get rid of you and you never were "here" in the first place, as far as I'm concerned, since you don't exist.

The judges of the Georgia Supreme Court delegitimized themselves and indelibly stained the Court when they backed ALJ Malihi.

To put it as mildly as possible, in Georgia there is no rule of law, only the rule of men. Georgia is a banana republic.
