Gergel has denied the state's request that he suspend all court hearings

And the Black-Robed Priests strike again, eviscerating a worthy tool to combat illegals.

And Faux-Obama and AP-Obama are all over it.

Because Obama declares it (whatever the it is) everyone must obey. Whoa, we’re getting a little (a lot) dictatorial these days. Whoever thought that stopping illegals and asking their status would be against the law? Has the Supreme Court ruled on the Arizona suit yet?

Why?
His solution is amnesty as “we can’t deport them”. He is part of the problem, not solution.

It appears that the libs just keep going from court to court, escalating their case until they come to a friendly (Marxist, as you would say) judge. This judge then rules in their favor and BAM, they get their way.

Since it is the DOJ which is suing them, South Carolina should suspend all cooperation with the Feds on criminal investigations pending the outcome of this case.

The SC governor & Repub legislators should simply tell 0dumb0's appointed judge to go E'ff himself.... that SC will continue to implement & enforce the law as it was passed.

Wait a second, they're Repubs right? Ok Judge, have it your way while we lie down & grovel before you! sarc/

Does that mean relatives of Americans from all backgrounds and countries can move to America -- no questions asked? We should turn back in their faces.
