Who's Thomas Saenz?
IBD Editorials ^ | March 5, 2009

Posted on 03/05/2009 5:41:05 PM PST by Kaslin

Civil Rights: The open-borders crowd eagerly awaits the nomination of one of its own to a key Justice Department post, a man who has dedicated his life to promoting illegal immigrant "rights."


President Obama is expected to appoint Thomas Saenz as the nation's top civil-rights enforcer. It's a key appointment because Obama has promised to "reinvigorate" the division Saenz will lead. And the Civil Rights Division carries a wide-ranging portfolio, covering everything from hate crimes and police misconduct to voting rights and redistricting laws.

All this power will likely be turned over to Saenz, who was a top lawyer for a radical Hispanic group that wants to cede California to Mexico. Saenz is credited with killing Proposition 187 in California against the wishes of 60% of voters. That law would have denied welfare to illegals.

At the time, Saenz was vice president of litigation for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, or MALDEF, whose co-founder has exulted: "California is going to be a Mexican state, we are going to control all the institutions. If people don't like it, they should leave."

Saenz has also sued California cities to establish "hiring halls" for illegal day laborers so that they can have a place to urinate. In fact, protecting day laborers against "anti-immigrant" sweeps is one of his top priorities.

He has agitated for "a federal court decision which would settle (the issue) for all time," and now he may have his way. Loitering illegals may soon have total freedom to harass store customers and drink and relieve themselves in public.

He would also crack down on local law enforcement officials who help ICE deport illegals. When the LAPD tried such collaboration, Saenz demanded "punishing all wrongdoers."

We sure are making “history” alright. We’re watching the Death of America. Some “history.”

Thanks for the posting.

I am getting to the place where I may automatically retch at the sight or mention of Obama’s name.

In reality, it already is, and the people who don't like it already have or are in the process of leaving. Many Kalifornia expatriates are now here in Texas.

This really is a case of the inmates taking over.

Obama is forming a government of criminals, criminal advocates and extremists running the very departments, or filling the exact position they thumb their noses at.

Tax cheats running finance.

A racist who has no respect for the constitution in charge of the Justice Dept.

Kathleen Sebelius, an advocate for the most brutal murder of full term babies, nominated for Health & Human Services.

Pro-illegal and radical Hispanic Thomas Saenz slated for the Justice department where he can use the power of the department to defend, protect and excuse law breaking illegal border crossers, visa overstayers and other criminals.

And on and on, there are just too many to list.

Its as if Obama is intentiomally doing his best to use each appointment and nomination to mock, to undermine, and to destroy the effectiveness and credibility of the various positions they will assume.

Not to mention the fact that 3 out of every 4 nominees seem to have committed significant criminal and/or unethical acts which do not seem to be of concern to Obama.

Obama is using presidental appointments to mock, to undermine, and to destroy the US government..... and to destroy the effectiveness and credibility of various government agencies.

Obama, Michele, and their inner circle---led by Rahm Emanuel, the real leader of the pack---see themselves as deconstructionists.

The ulitmate goal is the tearing down of the US establishment and radically remaking the natural order.

Anything that smacks of American tradition, US history, and constitutionality, is targeted for destruction.

Great - one more assclown racist not objected to by Republicans lest they be painted as racists.

assclownqueen

There comes a time where they're eventually on the edge of a pit, at gunpoint, squalling how supportive and inclusive they were.

That's when the racists leer and reply "Here's your reward for all the good work" before ordering "Fire!".

In case anyone missed it:

... the Civil Rights Division carries a wide-ranging portfolio, covering everything from hate crimes and police misconduct to voting rights and redistricting laws.

I guess Mary Ann Berry will be back on the Civil Rights Commission again with her twisted view of "fairness."

“Give California to Mexico.”

I don’t know where you live, but if you think your state has escaped the invasion, think again. California was the canary in the coal mine...they tried to stop this with no help from any one. And we are trying to save your state as well.

Mexican drug cartels have a stronghold in 230 cities.
