Obama Declares War On Law Enforcement

Posted by Brian
Yesterday it appeared that the State of Arizona was victorious in its Supreme Court case with the federal government over its immigration law, SB-1070.  Though the High Court struck down several portions of the law (parts that were already coverered by federal statute), its key provision of checking the immigration status of people suspected of being in the country illegally during the course of routine law enforcement duties, was upheld.
Not so quick, said the Obama Administration.  Arizona law enforcement may be able to check a persons' status, but even if you discover that a person is in the country illegally, we are not going to help you in any way.  We won't verify their status.  We won't take custody of them. You are on your own.  In fact, we are going to go one step further.  We are providing a hotline and an e-mail address for anyone that feels that they were treated unfairly, or have been made to feel uncomfortable, by law enforcement.  We will have free legal counsel available for them to sue the State of Arizona and the officer(s) who made them feel bad.
The Obama Administration has made it perfectly clear that they don't give a damn about state's rights, separation of powers, Congress, the Supreme Court, or the U.S. Constitution.  Barack Obama and his administration have, in short order, become a dictatorship.  Below are just a few of the illegal autonomous actions taken, or attempted by Obama and his Administration:

  • Obama FCC seeking regulation of the Internet (Net Neutrality), ignoring a Federal Court of Appeals ruling that the FCC does not have the power to regulate the internet.
  • Obama NLRB illegally blocked Boeing from building a plant in South Carolina, effectively telling companies where they can and cannot locate manufacturing.
  • Obama EPA mandating billions of dollars in air, water regulations, including regulations that would cause 15-20 percent increases in electricity rates.
  • Obama made three "recess" appointments to the NLRB while Congress was in session, bypassing mandated Senate confirmation requirements.
  • NLRB threatened SC for voter-approved referendum which guarantees secret ballot union elections.
  • The Justice Department suing states to prohibit voter ID laws passed by several states.
  • DOJ suing several states, including Arizona, over laws to control illegal immigration.
There are currently nine State Attorney's General bringing suit against the Obama administration over these, and other illegal Federal Government mandates which trample state's rights.

Obama is at war with not only Arizona.  He is at war the the People of These United States.  His statement during the 2008 Presidential campaign, that he was going to "fundamentally transform" the country, was no idle threat.  He is doing it.  What he has already done will, at a minimum, take decades
to undo.

Obama Admin Say They Will Not Enforce Immigration Laws

Feds suspend immigration enforcement program after Arizona court ruling 
Published June 25, 2012 FoxNews.com  

In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision on Arizona's immigration law, Obama administration officials announced Monday they are suspending a key program that allowed state and local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration law.
The move further weakens efforts by Arizona and other states to take the reins on immigration enforcement.
The high court decision Monday struck down three provisions in Arizona's law but left in place a central plank that required local law enforcement during routine stops to check the immigration status of anyone they suspect is in the country illegally.

Let The Spin Begin: SCOTUS Clears AZ SB 1070 Immigration Check

Posted by Brian

Will the mainstream media  report that the Supreme Court has validated Arizona's right to have law enforcement check on the immigration status of individuals whom they reasonably suspect of being in the country illegally? The key provision of the case was Arizona's constitutional right to carry out those checks.  Several other portions were struck down which the SCOTUS deemed to be already exist under federal statute.
The Obama Administration has framed SB-1070 as a racist law, with President Obama trotting out a number of his famous straw-man arguments to bring an unneeded racist tone to the debate, and to incorrectly frame what the law would mean for all Latinos in Arizona.
Overall this was a victory for proponents of the Arizona law, but it will interesting to see the media spin on this to claim victory for the Obama Administration, while at the same time using it as a rallying cry for Obama's 2012 campaign Latino outreach.
Let the spin begin!

Obama painfully inept and bumbling explanation of SB-1070, complete with his obligatory "straw man" argument.


Supreme Court Arizona immigration ruling: Justices clear key part

By JOSH GERSTEIN | 6/25/12 10:45 AM EDT Updated: 6/25/12 11:39 AM EDT
The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a constitutional challenge to a central provision of Arizona’s anti-illegal immigration law, clearing the way for similar legislation to take effect in other states and advancing a political narrative that could give President Barack Obama an added boost from Latino voters in November.
That provision, requiring police to conduct immigration checks on individuals they arrest or merely stop for questioning whom they suspect are in the U.S. illegally, does not appear to violate the Constitution by intruding on the federal government’s powers to control immigration, the court said.
