I guarantee you that if I was in Florida I would be voting for this guy! We need men like him in the Senate. Period.

So says the Daily Caller:

In an interview with The Daily Caller, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum said he’s actively cultivating donors, staff and supporters so he’ll be in a position to run for president in 2012 as a Republican if he decides to do so by early next year.

“I’m going through the process of what someone who is seriously considering running would do,” Santorum said by phone, “in order for when the time comes to decide, I’m in a position that I have a choice.”

I really truly like this guy. Here is one huge reason why:

Is he for real? I have no idea. I’d like to think this is all a joke or at the least that Mr. Marceaux.com knows how to not take himself too seriously. But you never know…

Ahhh… the power of brevity. Or something.

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.

I want this guy to win! We need men like him in government.

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.
