Groups seek new judge in immigration challenge

Civil rights groups seeking to throw out Arizona's new immigration law have asked that their case be transferred to a judge who is already considering another challenge to the law.

The American Civil Liberties Union, Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund and other groups are asking that their lawsuit be transferred from U.S. Magistrate Mark Aspey to U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton.

Bolton has already been assigned to hear a challenge by a Washington-based researcher.

The civil rights groups say both lawsuits make similar claims and could later be consolidated if the presiding judge feels it's appropriate.

In all, five challenges to the law been filed. Each was assigned to a different federal judge.

I wonder what the reason for this is ???

I Would Say State and National Sovereignty are at stake here. If they rule that we can not control immigration in our own country we may as well kiss our protective borders, along with our nation, goodbye.

Immigration laws must be enforced or we are doomed...

Are these groups actually calling this a Civil Right's case????

It's called judge shopping and these traitors know exactly what they're doing! Motion to transfer denied!!!

Wonder why?

Susan Bolton is a federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of Arizona and was nominated by President Bill Clinton.
