How many Presidents have joined other countries in suing states??

Barack Obama has already sued the state of Arizona.

Claiming "preeminent authority" to write the laws on immigration, the Justice Department filed suit to block Arizona from enacting its own.

"Setting immigration policy and enforcing immigration laws is a national responsibility," said Attorney General Eric Holder. "Seeking to address the issue through a patchwork of state laws will only create more problems than it solves."

The challenge, although not unexpected, appeared certain to reignite a searing national debate on immigration and send the midterm election season into fraught new territory.

"The American people must wonder whether the Obama administration is really committed to securing the border when it sues a state that is simply trying to protect its people by enforcing immigration law," Republican Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl, both of Arizona, said in a joint statement criticizing the lawsuit.

Mexico joined Obama in suing Arizona

Mexico on Tuesday asked a federal court in Arizona to declare the state's new immigration law unconstitutional, arguing that the country's own interests and its citizens' rights are at stake.

Lawyers for Mexico on Tuesday submitted a legal brief in support of one of five lawsuits challenging the law. The law will take effect July 29 unless implementation is blocked by a court.

Not only did Obama sue Arizona, he turned Arizona over to the UN

There can be few sights more humiliating for the American people than that of a US president kowtowing to a foreign leader or to supranational institutions. Continental Europeans are used to this sort of thing after decades of dominance by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, and have grudgingly accepted over time the gradual and undemocratic erosion of their freedoms. But most Americans fiercely defend their national sovereignty, and find the idea of giving international organisations a say over their laws and lives completely unacceptable.

Now Obama's policy of suing states in America has become a truly international movement.

16 Countries Side with Justice Department in Lawsuit Against Alabama

Sixteen countries, including Mexico, have filed briefs supporting the Department of Justice's lawsuit against Alabama's recently passed immigration enforcement law. In June, the Alabama legislature passed a bill that many believe is tougher than Arizona's SB1070 bill that also drew a lawsuit from federal prosecutors last year. According to the attorney who filed the briefs, the 16 countries "want one immigration law and not 50."

Read the Federal reasoning in the lawsuit they filed against AZ SB1070. It is astonishing that the Obama administration has created a 4th arm of Government. They wrote that they have the power to determine, “...whether or not a particular law must be enforced.” and that the States cannot protect themselves IF they determine not to protect them. Hmmm. The Legislative arm makes the rules, the Judicial reviews their legality, the Executive enforces them, and Obama decides if he wants to enforce them or not. Incredible.

Please tell me this is Satire. This can’t possibly be true.
Is it true? Or bad Satire?

I guess Lincoln does not count. He ravaged the states instead of suing them.

I find it unbelievable that the Democratic Party is suing states to break down their laws that the people in those particular states have backed and have passed. They are getting away with it because the people who vote for them don’t pay attention until right before the elections. They then vote based on buzz words and catch phrases, and by canted articles by people in the media who are left leaning.

If asked, the people in Arizona would go the same way again. The Democrats will keep going the same way until they one day accidentally take up a socialist venue that flies into the wind of a good majority of the people and loose bad. The health insurance bill was close, but it hasn’t quite gotten there yet. The will lose a good percentage of intellegent people based on that fiasco, but it won’t be enough to turn their heads back to a time of Truman, Kennedy and Johnson. It will happen. It’s only a question of when.

That is why there will be no election next year. This stuff is going to come out and he and his minions are going to go down with their own personal Gotterdamerung. I do believe that.

Speaking of firsts....

Have you EVER seen a president of the United States with expressions like this:

(Rush Limbaugh asked if anyone had ever seen expressions like this on an American president. He termed them 'demonic'.

Have you ever seen a First Lady photographed with an expression like this?

Or this:

Or this?

Did you in your wildest dreams envision a First Lady like this? (It looks like it HAS to be photoshopped, but it is not) Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Have you ever seen an American president display such vulgarity on national tv or dare to be photograped like this?

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Has there EVER in history been a photo taken of a U.S. President and First Lady at a public British Royal function with expressions such as these? (or a photo taken ANYWHERE of a pres and first lady like this?)

Just by the photos of the President and First Lady, Americans should be able to figure out that there is something terribly, terribly wrong here. .

It is 100% true. BarryO likes it both ways as well. He did not sue California for legalizing medical marijuana yet the Feds still arrest people for trafficking marijuana.

Once this puke is out of office the marxist scum in the Judiciary have to be impeached and the federal bureaucracies must be purged of these cockroaches.

They can all worship Lenin and Marx as private citizens.
