"We are on strike, we the men of the mind. We are on strike against self-immolation. We are on strike against the creed of unearned rewards and unrewarded duties."-John Galt
Following the grand 'ole line of thinking "If you throw enough shit at a wall, something is bound to stick." Attorney General Eric Holder revealed on "Face the Nation" this past Sunday he would consider pursing additional legal action against Arizona over their new illegal immigration law later this summer.
Attorney General Eric Holder, just days after filing a federal against Arizona's immigration law, on Sunday floated the possibility of filing another suit on racial profiling grounds.
The lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Arizona claimed the state was infringing on federal immigration responsibilities and urged the judge to prevent the law from going into effect at the end of July. Despite some officials' claims that the law could lead to racial profiling, that concern was not cited as grounds for the suit.
However, Holder said on CBS' "Face the Nation" that the federal government was leading with its "strongest" argument in the suit filed Tuesday and would not rule out a second suit months down the road -- if the law ends up going into effect.
"It doesn't mean that if the law for whatever reason happened to go into effect, that six months from now, a year from now, we might not look at the impact the law has had ... and see whether or not there has been that racial profiling impact," Holder said. "If that was the case, we would have the the tools and we would bring suit on that basis."
Nothing like planning ahead......
At this point in the game Holder is trying to push the school of thought that somehow the State law will interfere with the Feds ability to properly enforce Federal immigration law. Isn't that kind of like saying a father enforcing the house rules on the kids while the mother is away interferes with the mothers ability to enforce the rules when she gets home?
The only Federal policy the State law interferes with is the one where the Feds don't want to enforce illegal immigration laws on illegal immigrants.
New York Sen. Charles Schumer, who famously hammered then-Sen. Alfonse 'Amato for calling him a "putz-head" in their hot 1998 campaign, was accused Thursday of stepping into the gutter himself after he sent out a fundraising e-mail in which he called Massachusetts Republican Senate candidate Scott Brown a "far-right tea-bagger." The two-term Democrat, in accusing Brown of being aligned with the conservative "tea party" movement, used a term that every tea party critic knows refers to a sexual act.
How cool is it that a non-sense word is far more offensive than an actual word referring to a sex act?
Really? Are you stupid or willfully ignorant? Either way it's pathetic. When ANYONE in this Administration claims to not know about something that everyone else in the world knows about, it just make them look stupid and pathetic. I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of the stupid and pathetic running our country.......
“This is an opportunity to do something as big as Social Security,” he added. “And me, personally, I don’t want to be on the wrong side of history.”
Every time I see it I can only assume that the person saying it is unfamiliar with the fact that social security is going bankrupt and has overgrown it's original estimates hundreds of times over.
