My FOX News colleague, Judge Andrew Napolitano, correctly calls out the governor of Arizona for her bone-headed decision that “will bankrupt the state,” and is likely unconstitutional.
(h/t Crooks and Liars)
Napolitano: She’s gonna bankrupt the Republican Party and the state of Arizona. Look at what happened to the Republicans in California with the proposition –
[Neil] Cavuto: What happens?
Napolitano: Ah, Hispanics — who have a natural home in the Republican Party because they are socially conservative — will flee in droves. She’s also gonna bankrupt her state, because no insurance company will provide coverage for this. And for all the lawsuits that will happen — for all the people that are wrongfully stopped — her budget will be paying for it. Her budget will be paying the legal bills of the lawyers who sue on behalf of those that were stopped.
This will be a disaster for Arizona — to say nothing of the fact that it’s so unconstitutional that I predict a federal judge will prevent Arizona from enforcing it as soon as they attempt to do so. That will probably be tomorrow.
Much of the chatter on the Arizona anti-immigration stunt raises the question of enforcing existing laws against hiring undocumented aliens. At the heart of the thing, there’s an economic dynamic, so let’s think about this in terms of supply and demand. Oh, and it’s sort of about racism, too.
People from other countries risk life and limb to come to America and work. Some steal, and some kill, but some of our fine home-grown citizens steal and kill, sometimes each other.
So, let’s assume that the percentage of criminals is roughly the same…
Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum, who has his eyes on the Republican nomination for president, says Franklin Graham can be forgiven for calling Islam an evil religion because they were made “in the heat of an attack” on America. The Pentagon recently rescinded an invitation for Graham to speak on National Prayer Day.
SANTORUM: What Franklin Graham has done, is he made a statement in the heat of an attack on this county by people who were Jihadists, and it was a reasonable statement at the time. And I think Franklin Graham…
Now that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has enacted into law SB 1070, Arizona, the state that refused to recognize Martin Luther King Day until 1992 because of threats of a tourist boycott, has the strictest immigration rules in the country. And that’s because it:
Requires a reasonable attempt to be made to determine the immigration status of a person during any legitimate contact made by an official or agency of the state or a county, city, town or political subdivision (political subdivision) if reasonable suspicion exists that the person is an alien who is
Diane Dimond at The Daily Beast is reporting that former Senator John Edwards will testify under oath as to whether campaign funds were used to hide his relationship with Rielle Hunter. Also expected will be information about an alleged sex tape. The case is Rielle Hunter v. Andrew Young. And a federal grand jury is looking into how campaign funds were used.
Young appeared at all five hearings held in Superior Court in Hillsborough, North Carolina. He testified at three of them. Rielle Hunter never once appeared in court. Finally, Judge Abraham Penn Jones became satisfied that all…
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has signed a bill that will allow enforcement officers to stop anyone in Arizona and demand documentation proving their legal presence in the U.S. This is the toughest anti-immigrant bill in the country, and will likely incur lawsuits that will cost Arizona taxpayers millions of dollars.
Immigrants will be required to carry alien registration documents at all time that would prove their legal status. So what happens when someone is stopped who is here legally and has no papers available?
“Respect for the rule of law means respect for every…
