Thread: AZ: Gov. Jan Brewer to Sue Federal Government Over Not Enfor

CAN'T WAIT FOR MORE STATES TO JOIN IN ON THIS LAWSUIT!!!!

Arizona counter-sues over SB1070

PHOENIX -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer has announced the state will sue the federal government for its failure to secure the border and enforce immigration laws.

Brewer and Attorney General Tom Horne held a news conference Thursday to announce their fight in the face of a federal judge's ruling that parts of SB1070, the state's controversial immigration law, are unconstitutional.

The announcement came four days after Brewer signed into law a bill that would let legislativeleaders participate in efforts to defend the enforcement law against court challenges.

The enforcement law's chief sponsor, Senate President Russell Pearce, had requested to be a party in the state's appeal of a ruling that put parts of the law on hold, arguing he has a unique interest in making sure the law's objectives are defended and is concerned the state doesn't adequately represent his interests.

But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco ruled Pearce's request should be treated as a friend-of-the-court brief.

The law was passed amid years of complaints that the federal government hasn't done enough to lessen the state's role as the nation's busiest illegal entry point. Its passage ignited protests over whether the law would lead to racial profiling and prompted lawsuits by the U.S. Justice Department, civil rights groups and other opponents seeking to throw out the law.

Less than a day before the law was to take effect, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton blocked key provisions, such as a requirement that police, while enforcing other laws, to question people's immigration status if there is a reasonable suspicion they're in the country illegally. But she let other portions take effect, including a ban on obstructing traffic while seeking or offering day-labor services on public streets.

Brewer appealed the decision to the appeals court in San Francisco, arguing that Bolton erred by accepting speculation by the federal government that the law might burden legal immigrants and concluding that the federal government will likely prevail.

The Justice Department argued the ruling should be upheld because the law interferes with the federal government's exclusive power to regulate immigration, disrupts the United States' relations with Mexico and wrongly burdens legal immigrants.

What would I do without you, Airdale.....Once again, you've said it all...

We keep up the good fight AZres!

The Serenity Prayer
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Now we roll against the illegal alien invasion! And do the best we can!
Against all odds. Freind and Foe.

Great to have you here AZres!

....awesome. I knew she would. I really hope other states join in.
