Goddard Going to Feds Behind Arizona's Back Says Gov. Brewer
Goddard going to Feds behind Arizona's back
By: Jan Brewer, Governor, Arizona
06/04/2010
This week the legal team I have appointed to defend the State of Arizona in the legal challenges to Arizona's new immigration laws met with senior officials from the United States Department of Justice. The meeting was held at the request of the U.S. Department of Justice.
The Department attorneys were advised that I believe the federal government should use its legal resources to fight illegal immigration, not the State of Arizona. They were further advised that on behalf of the State of Arizona, I will ensure the immigration laws we passed are vigorously defended all the way to the United States Supreme Court if necessary.
For some inexplicable reason, the Department of Justice officials met with the Arizona Attorney General hours before meeting with the State of Arizona's legal team, and then allowed the Attorney General to hold a press conference to discuss the meeting. This level of coordination between the Attorney General and the Obama Administration is disturbingly similar to the coordination with Democratic Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords earlier this week on President Obama's still unclear plan to deploy up to 1,200 National Guard troops to the border. Due to the Attorney General's opposition to Arizona's immigration laws as set forth in S.B. 1070, the Legislature required Attorney General Goddard to act at the direction of the Governor in any challenge to S.B. 1070 as amended by H.B. 2162. The Legislature also gave the Governor authority to hire outside counsel if necessary to defend the law on behalf of the State instead of using the Attorney General.
The Legislature gave me this authority because of its lack of confidence in the Attorney General's willingness to vigorously defend this legislation that is so critical to protecting the safety and welfare of Arizona's citizens. Last year, I instructed the Attorney General to change his position on behalf of the State of Arizona in the Horne v. Flores case involving a challenge to the Arizona's English language learner laws. He refused and the U.S. Supreme Court ultimately rejected his position.
Due to Attorney General Goddard's curious coordination with the U.S. Department of Justice today and his consistent opposition to Arizona's new immigration laws, I will direct my legal team to defend me and the State of Arizona rather than the Attorney General in the lawsuits challenging Arizona's immigration laws.

Seems like jan Brewer is having to fight everything. I'm so glad she put that AG in his place. I wonder what the Obama Legal Team said to the jerk.

Arizona was very very smart to put that in their legislation. Otherwise the AG could have sabotaged the case to lose it intentionally. That's probably what he was plotting to do when he met with the Justice Department.

I hope she not only takes him off the case, but places a wall between him and the whole issue, so he cannot enter into the case on his own, or provide the Feds with Arizona data that he may think will help the Fed position.
Take a stand or all there will be left to do is to ask the last person in the country we once called America to lower the flag one last time.

And we are suppose to have Judicial branch of the government.
And aiding and abetting is already a law.
And why did we allow this to go so far? We are in the midst of a crime and lawlessness and people do have the right to defend themselves.
Some how.
Surely somehow.
