Sure would like to trade our (TX) Gov. Good Hair Perry for Arizona’s governor. Both goofs running for Texas governor have yet to take a real position on what Brewer is doing. Perry is afraid and White is a sanctuary city ex-major and I think open border supporter.
See, I wasn’t being completely antagonistic.
Personally, I’ve met her and don’t like her very much. She’s getting pressure from the right for the Primary election, and her feet are being held to the fire. While I’m glad she’s doing the right thing, I don’t think she wants to.
It doesn’t matter, as long as the correct things are being done for the state. The old adage, “Gotta watch ‘em every minute” applies.
Brewer, Palin, Bachman, Blackburn, let’s ROLL GOP Women!!!!!
Today the legal team I have appointed to defend the State of Arizona in the legal challenges to Arizona’s new immigration laws met with senior officials from the United States Department of Justice. The meeting was held at the request of the U.S. Department of Justice.
The Department attorneys were advised that I believe the federal government should use its legal resources to fight illegal immigration, not the State of Arizona.
They were further advised that on behalf of the State of Arizona, I will ensure the immigration laws we passed are vigorously defended all the way to the United States Supreme Court if necessary.
For some inexplicable reason, the Department of Justice officials met with the Arizona Attorney General hours before meeting with the State of Arizona’s legal team, and then allowed the Attorney General to hold a press conference to discuss the meeting.
This level of coordination between the Attorney General and the Obama Administration is disturbingly similar to the coordination with Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords earlier this week on President Obama’s still unclear plan to deploy up to 1,200 National Guard troops to the border.
Due to the Attorney General’s opposition to Arizona’s immigration laws as set forth in S.B. 1070, the Legislature required Attorney General Goddard to act at the direction of the Governor in any challenge to S.B. 1070 as amended by H.B. 2162. The Legislature also gave the Governor authority to hire outside counsel if necessary to defend the law on behalf of the State instead of using the Attorney General.
The Legislature gave me this authority because of its lack of confidence in the Attorney General’s willingness to vigorously defend this legislation that is so critical to protecting the safety and welfare of Arizona’s citizens. Last year, I instructed the Attorney General to change his position on behalf of the State of Arizona in the Horne v. Flores case involving a challenge to the Arizona’s English language learner laws. He refused and the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately rejected his position.
Due to Attorney General Goddard’s curious coordination with the U.S. Department of Justice today and his consistent opposition to Arizona’s new immigration laws, I will direct my legal team to defend me and the State of Arizona rather than the Attorney General in the lawsuits challenging Arizona’s immigration laws.####
It’s good to see someone in the GOP who has some ‘nads.
The really good news here is that Brewer and the AZ State Legislature were prepared for sabotage with the authority to remove and the loyal legal team in place.
THAT'S how to deal with traitor Rats, give 'em enough rope to expose themselves as collaborators, then hang 'em, and get good publicity, too.
For some inexplicable reason, the Department of Justice officials met with the Arizona Attorney General hours before meeting with the State of Arizona’s legal team, and then allowed the Attorney General to hold a press conference to discuss the meeting. =——————There’s the answer to why...tainted the AG.
As my dear old dad would have respectfully stated, “That is one tough broadie”.
Why is it so often the women? lol
The question is - which will the voters prefer?
I’m impressed!
Conservative women will be the ones to save it!
The American Male has been nuetered, to some extent by his own hand.
And I'm a guy, last time I checked.

How does the “QUOTE” button work?
It was a good move on her part, and she is absolutely right to be suspicious. California had passed a proposition to limit or eliminate benefits to illegals. A Federal judge overturned it, then a Democrat became Attorney General and no appeal was pursued.
She always seemed like a standard AZ Republican woman to me, sorta center right with social liberalism. She did, after all, go all out for McCain.
But you say that Russ Pearce and the legislature are pushing her?
She must want to be the elected governor real real bad.
What's the push? She has a few social spending programs that I know she wants to protect. Is that the real motivation?
In any event, whatever the motivation, she's gone down a path that has set the entire country on a path back towards sanity. No longer can RINO's scream that immigration is a non-starter issue. The poll numbers in favor of all this are stratospheric, which is something the idiot RINO's haven't ever seen.
Pray for our country! It’s Americans like Governor Brewer who are holding back the tide of complete corruption and socialism. (Was that redundant?)
Believe me, I know the whole story of 187. The day those criminals emerged from the 9th Circuit Arbitration Panel, I knew that Democracy had died in California.
Liberal democrats are no longer simplei anti-american...they have become UN-American...
Given the choise have they sided with their fellow americans?...or the rights of Jihadists?
Given the choice now...they openly side with the so called “rights” of illegals over the clearly enumerated rights of their fellow Americans...
Scratch a liberal find a communist.
