Chuck Schumer to Overturn Supreme Court's Arizona Immigration Ruling?
Brian Koenig ^ | 4/26/12 | Brian Koenig

Arizona's contentious illegal immigration law is now toiling in the Supreme Court.  And, naturally, Obama's beloved Justice Sonia Sotomayor dissents,  but that's no surprise, considering she doesn't understand the fundamentals of federal constitutional authority.  But she's a minority (and, purportedly, "disabled"), so that means her one vote counts for two -- especially because she's a Hispanic minority.

If Sotomayor had it her way, all 50 states would be merged into one super-state, where the only existing government would be the federal government.  But she's not the only one.

Chuck Schumer's panties are balling up as well.  So he's proposing to do away with the Judicial Branch -- in pertaining to the immigration issue, that is -- because he doesn't agree with its presumptive ruling on the Arizona law.

Anticipating an unfavorable ruling, Sen. Charles E. Schumer, a New York Democrat who is a critic of the Arizona law, said Tuesday that if the court does uphold the state’s law, he will introduce legislation to overturn that decision and grant the federal government sole control on immigration matters.

Because the federal government is more efficient and harbors less bureaucracy, I presume.  And because the states' rights debacle is so 19th century -- just like freedom and weak central authority are so 18th century.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *wipes eyes * That’s a good one! Congress passing a law that says the Courts can no longer review laws. Of course, Obama voters are so stupid they might believe he can do that.

One of my favorite moments was when the Solicitor responded that those picked up would have to be incarcerated for two weeks pending clearing their authorization to be in the US. The AZ attorney returned that it would only take 10 minutes to do so, not two weeks. To that the dear Solicitor responded that that was not true, it took at least an hour for the database to respond and then the 10 minutes for a total of 70 minutes.

I never did notice if he realized he had yanked the rug out from under his argument. I was too busy laughing.

Introduce away... You will be in the minority before the end of the year and your proposal won’t see the floor...

It won’t go anywhere in the Senate and the House will toss it into the round file.

I think it would be hilarious if he did, it got passed, signed by the President and teh SCOTUS ruled it unconstitional.

Who’s up for overturning Chuck Schumer? I wouldn’t dream of hurting the poor schnook, I’d just like to parade him around his district heels way over head.
