unbelievable!

what politicians can you believe in anymore?

[Hardraade]

Who - or what - got to her??

[FlingWingFlyer]

I think she is probably gun shy from having to fight Holder’s Gestapo for every legislation passed in Arizona.

[taxtruth]

This would be political suicide.

[Red Steel]

There was enough to votes to override in both houses.

[Obadiah]

Fore knowledge of a likely veto may have been the reason so many voted for the bill and why it actually passed.

[Minn]

“But we’ll let the courts decide that,’’ he said, anticipating the likely legal challenge.

Who would file a legal challenge? The DNC? The Obama campaign? That would be interesting.

[Smokeyblue]

“Brewer would not directly answer the question of whether she believes Obama was born in the United States. But she said there is evidence to believe he is.”

“It’s been stated by the governor (of Hawaii), Linda Lingle, who I spoke with directly, that he was born in Hawaii,’’ she said.”

[UCFRoadWarrior]

I guess she can forget any Presidential aspirations if she vetos the bill

The GOP needs to pull its head out of its a.. and get serious about Obama Eligibility.

2012 is shaping up to be a huge OP disaster

[cripplecreek]

there are court rulings that could be interpreted to conclude that his measure gives “too much authority to the secretary of state.’’

Secretaries of state routinely deny candidates ballot access for a whole range of reasons, including constitutional eligibility.

[sourcery]

Article II, section 1: “Each State shall appoint, in such Manner as the Legislature thereof may direct, a Number of Electors, equal to the whole Number of Senators and Representatives to which the State may be entitled in the Congress”

States do not have to have popular elections for President. The State legislature can simply appoint electors directly, or throw dice. The authority of the State to decide who the electors will be in any manner they see fit is Constitutionally absolute.

[Forrestfire]

There is no such thing as federal election, only state elections for federal office !!!!

[Mr Rogers]

I’m not what anyone would call a birther, but I see no downside to requiring the SecState to check candidate’s qualifications. Actually, I wish they had left in the 2-parent citizen part along with a severability clause, so that the courts would have been forced to issue a formal ruling on what NBC means...

[dforest]

Obozo will win in 2012 not because Obama is anything other than a rotten communist, but because the GOP has become so stupid as to shoot itself in the foot.

I have no respect left for any of them.

[Lazamataz]

It's a hint. She needs reminded, I suppose.

Let's encourage her to do right!

[Mr Rogers]

Contacted the Gov on her website asking her to sign the bill...if you are in Arizona, here is the website:

[machogirl]

Jan, if you don’t want to sign it, let it become law without your signature. Wonder if the Holder DOJ gave her a call. Barry has given we citizens of Arizona the finger so many times, I say sign it, if not just to irritate the man.

[OldNewYork]

She’d be shooting herself in the foot to veto. Not only would the left not suddenly be alright with her and with Arizona, but they’d think she was spineless. And that’s not even getting into what I’d think of her, or people on the right. It’s not specific to the current office holder anyway - it’s to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again, 2012 or at any other time.

[AmericanVictory]

The Constitution empowers state legislatures to prescribe the selection of electors. That would seem to be clear and give them the power to set out what qualifications the electors can examine. It is not like the Hopfmann case where "progressive" judges in league with Obama, as they were with Kennedy in that case, to override the legislatures on some phoney "freedom of association" argument.

[bigoil]

Governor Brewer can do the PC thing and let it become law without her signature.
