On Oct. 14, a federal judge blocked key portions of Alabama’s new immigration law after several groups, including the Obama Justice Department and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), asked for an injunction. The Justice Department claims that states that assist in enforcing federal immigration laws are violating the constitutional separation of powers.

Really? If that’s so, I wonder if state police in Alabama are barred from arresting someone trying to pass counterfeit $100 bills because our currency is federal. Article I, Section 8 of the Constitution gives Congress the power “to provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States.â€

The Occupy Wall Street Movement is complaining about the burden of student loans, and trying to pay them off in a down economy. If most of their college professors were Democrat voters (more true in the liberal arts curriculum) then I would say they fell for a 'liberal' scam. A lot of degrees are meaningless, because you just can't pull a career out of thin air without some underlying activity that needs it. Those who went through this in the 1970's should have warned the younger generation. They were often highly educated, and had precious few job opportunities unless trained in a scientific or engineering field.
