THE ARIZONA LAWSUIT

BREAKING: A Third Former DOJ Official Steps Forward to Support J. Christian Adams (Updated)  "Several former DOJ employees have been in contact with Pajamas Media, interested in publicly supporting J. Christian Adams as he comes forward about the DOJ’s failure to enforce the country’s laws from a race-neutral perspective. These former DOJ employees have expressed a willingness to go on record regarding Adams’ professionalism, excellent performance, and outstanding record of enforcing the law without racial bias.
"Additionally, they would like to corroborate Adams’ statements about the DOJ."

 Neal Boortz "Question: Robbing a federally insured bank is a federal crime. It's also a crime under the statutes of the State of Arizona. Should the Justice Department file a lawsuit against Arizona demanding that Arizona law enforcement officials cease enforcing Arizona's law against robbing banks because it usurps federal authority? Just wondering."

Open-Borders DOJ vs. America  "When a state acts to do the job the feds won't do, Obama's legal eagles run to the Founding Fathers for protection. When, on the other hand, left-wing cities across the country pass illegal alien sanctuary policies that flagrantly defy national immigration laws and hamper cross-jurisdiction enforcement, the newfound federal preemption advocates are nowhere in sight."  Michelle Malkin

Jay Sekulow's Trial Notebook "As you know, we're also planning to file an amicus brief supporting the Arizona law in a legal challenge by the ACLU. And, we will file an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of a 2007 law enacted by Arizona - a case that will be heard next term by the high court."

Interactive map of Phoenix crimes "Here's a sample of what's happening virtually every day, based on Phoenix Police Department (PPD) records obtained by Judicial Watch." Good luck getting that map to close so you can read the text.

Defending Arizona  "Moreover, since the Gonzales v. Peoria decision, Congress has taken numerous steps to promote, not discourage, assistance by state and local police in making immigration arrests. As the Tenth Circuit observed ... federal law “evinces a clear invitation from Congress for state and local agencies to participate in the process of enforcing federal immigration laws.” ...Congress wisely put in place a federal statutory requirement that federal officials must respond whenever a state or local police officer requests verification of an alien’s immigration status ..."

The United States vs. Arizona  "According to Gallup, Obama’s approval rating has held steady this year among whites (41 percent) and blacks (91 percent). But it has dropped from 69 percent to 57 percent among Latinos. On cue, Obama gave an immigration speech touting comprehensive reform even though there’s no legislative path forward, and his attorney general sued Arizona. If the thoroughly political Holder thought it would help, he’d sue John Boehner.
"And so the battle is joined, with the federal government making the plea — please, whatever you do, let our immigration laws molder on the books." Rich Lowry, National Review Online.

Overturn the Arizona Immigration Law - Please! "...In fact, a Hezb'allah leader, Jameel Nasr, was arrested at his home this week by Mexican police, accused of organizing a terror network in conjunction with Mexican drug cartels. His home is in Tijuana, just a few miles from the California border. At least we can count on the Mexican authorities to protect Americans from Hezb'allah terrorism, if no one else."

I hope that every American, regardless of where he lives, will stop and examine his conscience about this and other related incidents. This Nation was founded by men of many nations and backgrounds. It was founded on the principle that all men are created equal, and that the rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened. All of us ought to have the right to be treated as he would wish to be treated, as one would wish his children to be treated, but this is not the case.

I know the proponents of this law say that the majority approves of this law, but the majority is not always right. Would women or non-whites have the vote if we listen to the majority of the day, would the non-whites have equal rights (and equal access to churches, housing, restaurants, hotels, retail stores, schools, colleges and yes water fountains) if we listen to the majority of the day? We all know the answer, a resounding, NO!

Today we are committed to a worldwide struggle to promote and protect the rights of all who wish to be free. In a time of domestic crisis men of good will and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics and do what is right, not what is just popular with the majority. Some men comprehend discrimination by never have experiencing it in their lives, but the majority will only understand after it happens to them.
