AZ. Governor considers changing immigration law USA TODAY
Ariz. governor considers changing immigration law
Updated 7m ago
PHOENIX (AP) — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is asking legislators to consider whether they should change the state's immigration law in response to a judge's ruling blocking parts of it.
Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman confirmed Friday that the governor called top legislative leaders to broach the possibility of changing provisions of the law on Thursday, a day after U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton issued a preliminary injunction putting on hold parts of the new law that would have required officers to dig deeper into the fight against illegal immigration.
Senseman said the possibility of having legislators meet in special session to consider changing the law is merely being explored. He said Brewer is still pressing ahead with her appeal of Bolton's order.
APPEAL: Arizona prepares to fight back
BACKGROUND: Core of Arizona immigration law blocked
FULL COVERAGE: Immigration policy
Senate President Bob Burns said he'd need to know a lot more before he supports holding a special session.
The issue led to demonstrations across the country Thursday, including one directed at Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Phoenix, in which protesters beat on the metal door of a jail and chanted, "Sheriff Joe, we are here. We will not live in fear."
In total, 71 people were arrested during the Thursday protests, officials said Friday.
Brewer's lawyers went to court to overturn the judge's ruling so they can fight back against what the Republican calls an "invasion" of illegal immigrants. The state of Arizona has received more than $1.6 million in a fund to help defend the new law, including $75,000 on Wednesday, the day parts of the law were blocked.
Brewer said Friday she would "absolutely" take the judge's decision all the way to the Supreme Court, but she dodged didn't answer reporters' other questions about the immigration law at a news conference with U.S. Sen. John McCain about a decision to base new combat jets at Luke Air Force Base in Glendale.

One less explored alternative is that Brewer could throw the whole Arizona guard on their borders
She has not done so because of the cost
At this point I think that would be my "in your face dumbomba" move
I'd find the money , Arm them , give them orders to secure the border by whatever means

Arizona Gov. Floats Idea of Changing Immigration Law
Updated: Friday, 30 Jul 2010, 10:38 PM MDT
Published : Friday, 30 Jul 2010, 3:43 PM MDT
PHOENIX - The fight over Arizona's immigration law showed no signs of letting up Friday as the federal judge who blunted its force faced threats and the Republican governor who signed it considered changes to address any faults.
In the days since U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton put the most controversial parts of the law on hold , hundreds of e-mails and phone calls - including some threats - have poured into the courthouse.
Seventy people have been arrested in demonstrations .
And a fund set up to help defend the new law added $75,000 Wednesday alone, giving the state more than $1.6 million to get Bolton's ruling overturned.
Gov. Jan Brewer, who signed the law and appealed the ruling, has vowed not to back down, saying she'll challenge Bolton's decision all the way to the Supreme Court.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in an order late Friday that it will hold a hearing in the first week of November on Arizona's challenge. Briefs from the state are due August 26.
Brewer had asked for an expedited appeals process, with a hearing scheduled for the week of September 13. State lawyers had argued in their appeal that it involves an issue of "significant importance" - the state's right to implement a law to address "the irreparable harm Arizona is suffering as a result of unchecked unlawful immigration."
The federal government countered that there was no need to expedite the matter because "the only effect of the district court's injunction in this case is to preserve a status quo that has existed for a long period of time."
Calls Friday night to Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman and Phoenix attorney John Bouma, who is defending the immigration law on the governor's behalf, were not immediately returned.
Brewer said earlier Friday that she'd consider changes to "tweak" the law to respond to the parts Bolton faulted.
"Basically we believe (the law) is constitutional but she obviously pointed out faults that can possibly be fixed, and that's what we would do," Brewer told The Associated Press. She said she's talking to legislative leaders about the possibility of a special session, but said no specific changes had been identified.
In her temporary injunction, Bolton delayed the most contentious provisions of the law, including a section that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws. Bolton indicated the federal government's case has a good chance at succeeding in its argument that federal immigration law trumps state law.
But she allowed police to enforce the law's bans on blocking vehicle traffic when seeking or offering day-labor services and a revision to the smuggling ban that lets officers stop drivers if they suspect motorists have broken traffic laws.
Bolton also let officers enforce a new prohibition on driving or harboring illegal immigrants in furtherance of their illegal presence.
Democrats scoffed at Brewer's desire to change the law, with a key House minority leader calling it laughable.
"Why would we help her?" asked Rep. Kyrsten Sinema of Phoenix. "This bill is so flawed and clearly a federal judge agrees," Sinema said.
House Speaker Kirk Adams said there would be little support among fellow Republicans to weaken the law.
Attorneys have begun reviewing the law to identify possible changes, he said: "It's embryonic."
Sen. Russell Pearce , the law's chief sponsor, said he would only back changes to make it stronger.
Even though the law's critics scored a huge victory with the decision, passions among hundreds of immigrant rights supporters still flared at demonstrations near the federal courthouse in downtown Phoenix after the parts of the law that weren't blocked took effect Thursday.
Brewer has expressed confidence in the law as it is now, so talk of "tweaking" doesn't sit well with Terry Goddard. Arizona's Attorney General and Brewer's likely challenger in November's election says "I think it's a little bizarre that she's saying on one hand what Judge Bolton did was just wrong and we have to appeal it and get it corrected at the 9th Circuit and by the way we're going to agree with her and change some aspects of 1070..this isn't let's make a deal."
Federal officials in charge of court security wouldn't say whether anyone made a death threat against Bolton and wouldn't provide specifics of the threats they were examining, but said a majority of the e-mails and phone calls to the judge's chambers and the court clerk's office are from people who want to grouse about her ruling, officials said.
"We understand that people will vent and have a First Amendment right to express their dissatisfaction. We expect this," said David Gonzales, the U.S. Marshal for Arizona. "But we want to look at the people who go over the line.
