What Is Gov. Charlie Crist’s Reaction To Arizona Immigration Ruling?

Ahhh… the power of brevity. Or something.

Judge Blocks AZ. ID Check

Welp, I suppose it’s back the the status quo for citizens of Arizona as Judge Susan Bolton essentially gutted AZ. new law which will go into effect tomorrow:

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said she would file an appeal to reinstate the provisions, which had popular support but were opposed by President Barack Obama and immigration and human rights groups.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton blocked several provisions including one that required a police officer to determine the immigration status of a person detained or arrested, if the officer believed the person was not in the country legally.

The judge also stayed provisions requiring immigrants to carry their papers at all times and making it illegal for people without immigration papers to seek work in public places.

The Republican-controlled Arizona Legislature passed the law three months ago in an effort to drive nearly half-a-million illegal immigrants out of the border state and stem the flow of human and drug smugglers over the frontier.

The U.S. Justice Department had argued that provisions of the law, which goes into effect on Thursday, encroached on federal authority over immigration policy and enforcement.

In her 36-page decision, Bolton agreed. She wrote: “The court … finds that the United States is likely to suffer irreparable harm if the court does not preliminarily enjoin enforcement of these Sections of (the law) and that the balance of equities tips in the United States’ favor considering the public interest.”

It’s still illegal to be an illegal alien/immigrant it’s just not the kind of illegal that COPS get to arrest you for. It’s a different kind of illegal.

The DOJ “Pre-emption” Case Against Arizona Not Going So Good

Well that didn’t take long. Federal Judge Susan Bolton went right after the DOJ’s assertion of pre-emption as it pertains to immigration law:

“Why can’t Arizona be as inhospitable as they wish to people who have entered or remained in the United States?” U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton asked in a pointed exchange with Deputy Solicitor General Edwin S. Kneedler. Her comment came during a rare federal court hearing in the Justice Department’s lawsuit against Arizona and Gov. Jan Brewer (R).

Bolton, a Democratic appointee, also questioned a core part of the Justice Department’s argument that she should declare the law unconstitutional: that it is “preempted” by federal law because immigration enforcement is an exclusive federal prerogative.

“How is there a preemption issue?” the judge asked. “I understand there may be other issues, but you’re arguing preemption. Where is the preemption if everybody who is arrested for some crime has their immigration status checked?”

Exactly. The state has the ability to create law that will enforce already existing federal law. It’s already ILLEGAL to be here in America without documentation. If an officer, arresting someone for a crime, asks for documentation he is simply enforcing federal law. It’s not pre-emption. It’s common sense.

Breaking News: The Moon Landing Was A Hoax!

Conspiracy Theorist Convinces Neil Armstrong Moon Landing Was Faked:

Apollo 11 mission commander and famed astronaut Neil Armstrong shocked reporters at a press conference Monday, announcing he had been convinced that his historic first step on the moon was part of an elaborate hoax orchestrated by the United States government.

According to Armstrong, he was forced to reconsider every single detail of the monumental journey after watching a few persuasive YouTube videos, and reading several blog posts on conspiracy theorist Ralph Coleman’s website, OmissionControl.org.

“It only took a few hastily written paragraphs published by this passionate denier of mankind’s so-called ‘greatest technological achievement’ for me to realize I had been living a lie, ” said a visibly emotional Armstrong, addressing reporters at his home. “It has become painfully clear to me that on July 20, 1969, the Lunar Module under the control of my crew did not in fact travel 250,000 miles over eight days, touch down on the moon, and perform various experiments, ushering in a new era for humanity. Instead, the entire thing was filmed on a soundstage, most likely in New Mexico.”

Bizarre Happenings At An Abortion Clinic

I’ve seen some really intense things at abortion clinics but this… this is just crazy:

From LifeSiteNews.com – Staff at the Rockford abortion mill, which has been blaring the radio through its speakers to drown out pro-life counselors for several weeks, got an unpleasant surprise Friday morning when a local D.J. found out what his show was being used for.

LifeSiteNews.com has reported numerous times on the bizarre Rockford abortuary, which has taken to taunting pro-life witnesses with signage and other paraphernalia mocking Christianity and Jesus Christ, and even directing personal insults at local pro-lifers. (See coverage here)

The facility’s latest form of harassment, blasting a radio talk show through its outdoor speakers to keep women from hearing the message of pro-life counselors gathered outside, backfired when D.J. Doug McDuff’s scheduled talk show guest cancelled, and he opened the phone lines for comment.

Seeing his chance, Rockford pro-life veteran Kevin Rilott whipped out his cell phone and was on air within seconds, loud and clear outside the abortion centre where he was standing. Rilott took the opportunity to explain to McDuff and his listeners how the radio station, WNTA, was being used to silence pro-lifers’ attempt to help mothers in need.

McDuff, none too pleased, decided to take matters into his own hands. “God bless pro-lifers! God bless pro-lifers! God bless pro-lifers!” the D.J. shouted.

One of the staff members, who was walking from across the parking lot at that moment, was so aghast, Rilott told LifeSiteNews.com, that “I thought she was going to have a heart attack.”

“The abortion mill nurse who heard this began waving her arms around her head like she couldn’t believe what was being broadcast over the abortion mill public address system,” related Rilott. “The look of almost terror and confusion on her face was priceless as she scrambled into the mill.”

The D.J. then gave Rilott airtime to explain how those who keep vigil outside the Rockford mill come “to offer love, help, and hope to mothers in need,” and to request prayer for mothers in need and an end to abortion.

The landlord of the abortion mill, still determined to drown out both the radio and the pro-lifers, charged outdoors with a chainsaw running. But even that was not enough to prevent at least one mother from hearing the message and choosing life for her baby.

Will Newt Gingrich Run For President?

The long and short of it: Yes. I totally believe he will.

He has been spending a whole lot of time in Iowa laying a good foundation for the “first in the nation” caucuses as well as lending his clout to nominee’s for the House and Senate across the nation.

via Chicago-Sun Times:

Former U.S. House Speaker Newt Gingrich said Monday he’s seriously considering seeking the Republican presidential nomination and will announce his decision early next year.

Gingrich, 67, said he would focus on helping Republican candidates through the midterm elections in November, then decide in February or March whether to seek the GOP nomination.

“I’ve never been this serious,” Gingrich said.

“It’s fair to say that by February the groundwork will have been laid to consider seriously whether or not to run,” he said.

Gingrich predicted President Obama would be a one-term president. Obama’s poll numbers have dropped below 50 percent, and Gingrich predicted they would continue to fall, making him vulnerable in 2012.

Unlike President Bill Clinton, who rebounded from first-term problems by pushing for welfare reform and budget balancing changes that pleased moderate voters, Gingrich argued that Obama shows no inclination to move toward the center.

“He’s not like Bill Clinton,” Gingrich said. “Bill Clinton was an Arkansas, Southern Baptist, sort of understood middle American. While he had some Yale overtones being liberal, the truth is Bill Clinton was quite happy to move to the right.”

If you are unfamiliar with Newt Gingrich he was the Speaker of the House for much of President Clinton’s administration and as remained a political operative since resigning from Congress in 1998.

If he runs he will be a serious contender and if Obama’s polling numbers continue to hover around the 47-48 approval percentile he will be vulnerable come election time.

As an added bonus here is a video of Newt questioning Obama’s knowledge of where America is at right now:

Obama Administration Will Sue Arizona Over New Law

Here is swift punch to the throat courtesy the federal government:

Associated Press Writer PHOENIX The U.S. Justice Department is filing a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Arizona’s tough new law targeting illegal immigrants.

The planned lawsuit was confirmed to The Associated Press by a Justice Department official with knowledge of the plans. The official didn’t want to be identified before a public announcement planned for later Tuesday.

The lawsuit will argue that Arizona’s new measure requiring state and local police to question and possibly arrest illegal immigrants during the enforcement of other laws, like traffic stops, usurps federal authority.

Tuesday’s action has been expected for weeks. President Barack Obama has called the state law misguided. Supporters say it is a reasonable reaction to federal inaction on immigration.

Instead of actually trying to fix the problem at the borders the government has decided to shun its obligation and instead prevent states from trying to help themselves.

Yes – I know people take issues with this law. Fair enough. But people are being murdered in Arizona… action has to be taken.

Unfortunately, this action runs contrary to this administrations political agenda:

Borders?! We don’t need no stinkin’ borders!
