“I have no doubt the Arizona rancher will lose this lawsuit and likely his ranch as well as this has already happened once in the recent past.”

Absolutely correct (#2 REALLY pisses me off).

As your link shows, the judgement against Nethercott had nothing to do with violating the civil rights of the illegals. The judgement was about damages.

Additionally, Barnett has been sued previously for violation of the civil rights of illegals and he won the case.

He is not likely to lose this case either.

The plantiff(MALDEF) in this newest civil rights case is using faulty judgement. They are saying that since Barnett did lose another civil rights case brought some Americans of Mexican descent, then he will lose on violating the illegals' rights
