[9YearLurker]

Palin?

[montag813]

1:35 Judge gives each side one hour for arguments.

1:40 DOJ: SB1070 is a direct effort by the state to participate in the enforcement of immigration law which is preempted by federal law

1:42 .DOJ: "The regulation of immigration is unquestionably exclusively a federal power"

1:47 DOJ: States have assisted federal govt w/ immigration with understanding the ultimate responsibility of enforcing law belongs govt.

1:49 DOJ says AZ, in a dramatic move, has changed the cooperation of the relationship by passing SB1070

[usurper]

I am confused is it Palin or Brewer in the front row

[Psycho_Bunny]

Some governor.....some where......

[Dem Guard]

Wrong Gov

[Responsibility2nd]

Huh? Which is it in the front row? Gov. Brewer or Gov. Palin?

[Sacajaweau]

btt

[HiJinx]

Ping!

So, is this the SB1070 as amended live thread?

[montag813]

PLEASE CHANGE “GOV. PALIN” TO “GOV. BREWER” IN TITLE. MY BAD.

[Responsibility2nd]

I guess it really doesn’t matter which governor.

The important thing is to pimp your facebook on Breaking News.

[manc]

has changed the cooperation of the relationship by passing SB1070

but cities which say screw you we have a law which keeps illegals safe is alright.

WTH , no wonder this admin is a massive screw up and outside of the far left kook circles and sites the majority do want laws enforced and if the corrupt media told the truth people would be outside then white house camping and demanding they get out

[Lazamataz]

Thailand?

[Cubs Fan]

If the federal government is the controller of immigration then it is the sanctuary cities and states that should be sued for ignoring federal law.

[montag813]

The important thing is to pimp your facebook on Breaking News.

I am providing breaking updates, moron.

[txrangerette]

Headline and story don’t match. Please fix...thnx.

[humblegunner]

Palin has WHAT to do with this?

Is she getting money? If not, she is surely elsewhere.

She’s just in it for the bucks.

I’m fine with that. But don’t confuse it with anything else.

Like Ozzy or Al Gore.. she make appearances.

[manc]

my point too

how can they say they should sue a state which enforces fed law but not sue a state or city which ignores fed law and makes their own law up

this admin has to go

[humblegunner]

Yes.

[montag813]

Palin has WHAT to do with this?

"Palin" was a cut and paste error. Has been fixed. MY bad. Thank you Moderator.

[montag813]

You’re a facebook pimp, moron. An attention whore.

No Eric Holder is the attention whore. I am trying to provide updates to those who are interested. Clearly you are not, so go elsewhere.

[jackv]

I hope Governor Brewer brought pictures!!!

[humblegunner]

"Palin" was a cut and paste error.

Yes, surely.

That pattern of letters shows up automatically all the time.

[montag813]

Basically this facebook pimp got too eager to post to Breaking News and shot his wad with “Palin” instead of Brewer.

Who is this idiot and why is s/he spewing bile on this thread? Palin was replaced with Brewer in 90 seconds, dillweed. Get a life, please. Or STFU.

[humblegunner]

You, who cannot capitalize properly, may have NO say in the matter.

Those of us who can write properly are charged with the task.

Repeat Elementary school and try again.

WTG!

thanks for this thread, I want to keep up to date

Cause for concern from earlier (ACLU) hearing:

Judge doubts the constitutionality of Arizona's immigration law

A federal judge on Thursday expressed skepticism that a key part of a controversial Arizona law to control illegal immigration is constitutional.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton noted at a hearing that the U.S. Supreme Court has long barred states from creating their own immigrant registration systems. She said the Arizona measure's stipulation that makes a crime of failing to have immigration documents may violate that.

John Bouma, the attorney representing Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, tried to convince Bolton otherwise but eventually gave up. "I didn't have the feeling I persuaded you last week either," he said, alluding to a previous hearing.

Bolton did not issue a ruling.

[Constitution Day]

Thanks very much for posting this thread!

[God luvs America]

any idea if a ruling is coming down today?

[Gadsden1st]

Laz, I don’t want to hijack this thread or start a war so I need your sage advise. What is the big issue about someone “pimping a blog”? If I click to the blog, my guess is that that click somehow may generate revenue for the person with the blog. As far as I understand that would be paid by ads, other links, etc. I don’t believe any of my tax money goes to it. I thought most were for the entrepreneurial spirit. What am I missing?

[montag813]

You’ve hijacked your own thread by calling attention to how inept you are at posting.

I have been posting for seven more years on FR than you have, doofus. And the only one who has hijacked this thread is YOU, with your insipid and distracting comments. Either contribute, or get lost.

[truthkeeper]

Thank you for the thread and updates.

[montag813]

UPDATE:
1:14 PST
DOJ: AZ has adopted own immigration policy using traffic stops to impose a mandate that requires immigration status check 4 minor violations

[Cyber Ninja]

I’d recommend ignoring the flames.

If goes to far it can get the thread pulled.

I’ve seen that happen.

[Jim Robinson]

That requirement was probably intended to oppose the sanctuary cities who blatantly disregard enforcing immigration law and in fact unlawfully and actively prohibit local law enforcement officers from doing so.

[Constitution Day]

BTTT

[norton]

What am I missing?

Some of what you, and the rest of us, are missing are the updates montag might be posting if he or she were not busy answering snarky comments from others in the forum.

[montag813]

While waiting for the next update, here is an excellent, full synopsis of what took place at the 10:30 hearing (the ACLU et al Lawsuit). Judge Botlon hit both sides hard, and questioned the legality of some provisions of SB1070. But analysts said her questions "made it clear...that she will not invalidate the entire law." We shall see...

Judge questions SB 1070 assumptions

[mikeus_maximus]

Regardless of the court's ruling, the state should enforce the law anyway. What are the feds going to do-- send troops to stop the state from enforcing the law, when they've failed to send troops to enforce it in the first place? That would be political suicide and the prelude to a real revolution.

[I see my hands]

"You, who cannot capitalize properly, may have NO say in the matter"

Um.

[montag813]

2:28 PST UPDATE: AZ Lawyer Takes Over

AZ Attorney: There is no inconsistency between SB1070 and federal policy. Outrage does not make the law

[Reaganwuzthebest]

That’s probably what will happen. Most of it will go into effect but some will be put on hold allowing both sides to claim victory.

[Bigh4u2]

“What are the feds going to do”

Well, they could tie them up in the courts and try to break the state budget with endless litigation.

Don’t forget, the feds can ‘print’ what ever amount of money they need to keep fighting Arizona.

[Tucsonican]

Update from AZ Daily Star

excerpt:
Bolton's questioning made it clear, though, that she will not invalidate the entire law.

and:
Constitutional issues aside, Bolton was also focused on that issue of harm, a key element in any decision she has to make about granting an injunction. Bouma said the claims presented by the individuals and groups represented by MALDEF and others are speculative at best.

Doesn't look like there will be a decision made today. I like to thing that this is a good thing.

[Gadsden1st]

Can’t the House block the funds?

[montag813]

Doesn't look like there will be a decision made today. I like to thing that this is a good thing.

Hard to prove "harm" from a law which has yet to go into effect. Of course that hasn't stopped many a progressive judge in the past.
