[Psalm 73]

What the heck is up with Oregon, and why are they breaking Ashcrofts stones, yet again? First the euthenasia thing, now this...
(BTW - I hardly ever post articles, don't kill me if I've missed something).

Its states rights verse the federal gov't. Most conservatives rallied around "returning power to the states".

Time to put Portlenin on the target list.

"The law says, generally, we can interview people that we may suspect have committed a crime," Kirkland said. "But the law does not allow us to go out and arbitrarily interview people whose only offense is immigration or citizenship..."

He's a little vague, but is this guy saying that ILLEGAL immigration is NOT a crime?

[CyberSpartacus]

States Rights should always precede Federal law, except for the powers delegated to the Federal Government. However the commie scum police chief is using his own interpretation of what constitutes a crime and reasonable interviews. Because his hatred of hiw own country exceeds his common sense.

Oregon is a renegade state: first they force other states to tolerate their killer doctors traveling around, second they force other states to deal with terror that Oregon is stamping as unrelated.

Oregon is playing with secession. This terrorism business ain't over and is getting ugly. Hope the Prez and Ashkroft are strong enough to withstand the PC that breaks the country appart. We have already problems with Mexico allowing killers to go into the US, we do not need Oregon to breed them on US soil.

"But the law does not allow us to go out and arbitrarily interview people whose only offense is immigration or citizenship ..."

Several posters seem to think they're talking about illegal immigrants. That's not what was stated. In effect, the Feds wanted anyone who was a male, within a certain age range and from the middle east to be "interviewed." Kinda like interviewing everybody who posts on FR 'cause they might be subversive.

The Federal Govt. are the master's of the 'if you don't help us out, we won't help you out' policy. Now the tables are being turned on them.....and I love it.

Somehow, I have the feeling that if the subject were: guns, wetlands, spotted owls, "homophobia" or any of a number of left-wing causes, the Portland Police Dept. would be front and center in the investigation into "suspicious activity."

[aculeus]

If there is another major loss of American lives to terror we will not forget or forgive the Quislings among us.
