When asked how voters could be confident that the Department of Homeland Security will enforce the border security elements of the Senate's “Gang of Eight” immigration bill, Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) replied that “we can go to court.”

“We have the court system. That’s the way our government runs. If the executive branch does not enforce laws, then we can go to court and make sure tat those laws are enforced,” McCain said Tuesday while participating in an immigration town hall. …

He would never go to court over the lack of enforcement of existing laws, though.

Worse than that. Crammed into the treads, AND in the space between the heel and the sole.

Using the courts to enforce the law. Didn’t Texas AG Abbott try that routine and look what happened? He lost nearly all the lawsuits he filed against Obama.

The USA has hundreds of unenforced laws on the books, mainly because enforcement of the laws are not funded. Depending on the court system for funding is nonsense.

This entire effort is a repeat of the 1986 laws that were never enforced. We do not need new laws to secure our borders, do we? Does McCain believe that the voters are that dumb?

Odumbo has been constantly packing the district and circuit and Supreme courts with his liberal judges who will ensure that the system McLame is talking about will be useless.

Yes. The thought of passing a law that you know will not be enforced, then fighting for enforcement in the courts, is a lame as it can get. Especially since McCain doesn’t want enforcement to start with. F McCain.

Has McCain gone to court over unconstitutional recess appointments, Obama’s Dream Act, or countless other illegal actiona by the President? No.

McCain in an idiot and traitor to those who voted for him.

With a pebble thrown in for good measure.

McCain is a joke and so is our court system.

Hitlers German courts were the only example of a worse system.

Our Judges do not use the law they ask Obama what he wants done.

Thanks Justice Roberts.

McCain is the stupid that just can’t be fixed.

Why on Earth would you even collaborate to pass a law when you KNOW the other side’s provisions will be enforced—yours will be ignored.

Separated at birth? Has John McCain ever been seen with Hans Blix?

If Obama doesn't enforce the new law, like he's not enforcing the old law, John McCain is going to be very, very angry and may be so angry to write Obama a letter. Eeewww! That's going to be scary.

Speaking of Blix, he’s back in the news declaring that “the US is not the world’s police” . . .
