Federal Judge Blocks Part of Arizona Immigration Law

 

[volholio]

The judge is doing what the Constitution is telling him/her to do.

What's so activist about that?

If the Congress passes a law that says that we shall have no more presidents, it's up to the Judge to strike that law down.

You'd call her activist?

Let's hear it.

 

[utvolpj]

so why not go after the federal law first since it's pretty much the same? Or how about cities that say they won't enforce laws? Or other states that already have similar laws on the books?

Also, what about the law is unconstitutional?

 

[kptvol]

Please explain how this law is unconstitutional.

 

[kptvol]

A Clinton appointee from Philadelphia is surely the best person to be deciding this issue.

 

[lumberjack4]

Why can states enforce Federal Drug Law, but not Federal Immigration Law? I hope this law makes it to the Supreme Court and is upheld.

 

[BearCat204]

Please explain how this law in unconstitutional.

Have yet to see the answer to this every since the bill was passed.

Does your last name by chance end in "Z"??

 

[VolsSportsFan]

How is the law unconstitutional?

And if your answer is it's the Federal Government's job to deal with immigration, then ok, it's time to ask the Fed why they've done such a piss poor job for the last 50 years, and ask what they are going to do about enforcing the law.

Seriously, you can't have it both ways.

I'm guessing he was among the droves of illegals going back home before today's ruling. Don't worry though, he'll be among all the people that come back now that they know they have nothing to fear.

Exactly. States are required to help enforce federal laws, etc. constantly. States are also required to help enforce aspects of the PATRIOT Act and other security matters as well. State resources are spent hunting down terrorists, FBI's most wanted, etc. State and even local law enforcement are expected to assist in security at federal installations and places like airports, ports, etc. Why is it that this one aspect the federal government - nay, the Obama administration fights?

Hate the ruling, welcome to VN

So chances this makes it to the Supreme Court?

Because it's in his best interest so he can secure votes for the Democratic party. His life and most in his administration will never be affected by illegal immigrants so why would they care? It's quite sad.

100% certainty

 

[lawgator1]

There was a time that the Supreme Court actually avoided sensationalized cases so as to keep themselves from being a part of pop culture. Not this Court.

 

[tvolsfan]

100% certainty

I'd be pretty stunned if it didn't. What are the chances they reverse this decision? I'd think pretty good, but I guess I can't be sure. Hopefully they do it quickly, but I assume it will take a while.

Bingo!!! Give the man a cigar! These are elitists trying to set up an oligarchy in our once great Republic.

 

[lawgator1]

Also, in before the "Sotamayor must recuse herself" because she's Hispanic idiotic posts.
