Brewer seeks dismissal of feds' challenge to law

PHOENIX — Attorneys for Gov. Jan Brewer has asked a judge to throw out the U.S. Justice Department's challenge to Arizona's new immigration law.

The governor's lawyers said Monday the federal government hasn't shown it has suffered actual harm from the law and instead bases its claim on speculation.

The federal government says the state law is trumped by federal law and that it has hurt U.S. relations with Mexico. It is scheduled to take effect Thursday.

Attorneys for Brewer say Mexico's disapproval of the law doesn't make it unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton is considering requests by the Justice Department, a Phoenix police officer and civil rights groups to put the law on hold.

I cannot believe that argument is being allowed to be made in a court of law, much less given any consideration! I would be embarrassed to make that argument! When you have no case, these are the weak ass arguments you're forced to make! This proves how weak their case actually is!

The DOJ is a joke!

The federal government says the state law is trumped by federal law and that it has hurt U.S. relations with Mexico.

So Mexico's feelings are more important than American lives and prosperity?

Damn traitors from Obama on down should be impeached immediately!!!!
They have already admitted their treason!!!

Gov. Jan Brewer is a real fighter. The more I hear about her the more impressed I am.

I hope so bad that Bolton sides with Arizona ans spits in the eye of mexico and our treasonis president

This reminds me of an "activist" Judge's ruling from a few years ago. Federal Judge James Munley ruled against Hazelton's attempt to get a handle on illegal immigration. Hazelton had recently passed an ordinance prohibiting landlords from renting to illegal aliens.

Some of the most outrageous lines of reasoning of Judge Munley, as explained by author Kris Kobach:

"However, the ACLU lucked out when Judge Munley was assigned to the case. In a 206-page opinion, the judge bent over backward to agree with even the most far-fetched arguments offered by the plaintiffs."

"In the face of this unequivocal congressional intent, Judge Munley concocted the following theory: immigration laws governing the interior of the country were never meant to be fully enforced. Therefore, by reinforcing federal law and discouraging illegal immigration, Hazleton would cause what Judge Munley called “excessive enforcement.â€
