BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: This is John in Southern New Mexico. You're next here on the EIB Network. Hi.
CALLER: Mr. Limbaugh.
RUSH: Yes, sir.
CALLER: Listen, I've been following the Supreme Court and what they're doing with the Arizona law. I've spent 25 years enforcing the law on the border. And I can tell you --
RUSH: Wait, wait, wait, wait. You spent 25 years enforcing the law, that means you're a border patrol agent or former?
CALLER: I'm a border patrol agent, yes.
RUSH: Current or former?
CALLER: Current.
RUSH: Current border patrol agent.
CALLER: I have been eligible to retire now for a couple months ago, but I'm not going, I'm staying, because there's a lot of work that still needs to be done. However, what the Supreme Court just did, and I'll probably get in a lot of trouble over this, but what the Supreme Court just did, regarding the Arizona law... Title 8 of the United States Code section 1304 small e, everybody go look it up, says that if you're here illegally and you're not a citizen, you have to carry proof of that with you. The law's already on the books. I don't know why everybody's up in arms that Arizona is enforcing it when the US government won't. It makes no sense. I don't know why the Supreme Court did that, but that's what the law says.
RUSH: Well, the Supreme Court did it because the justices that voted the way they did believe in an expanding and all-powerful federal government.
CALLER: Yes, sir. And that's exactly what it is. That's exactly... well, I'm not gonna go there, but that's exactly what it is.
RUSH: It's no more complicated than that. That's why I'm shocked that Justice Roberts is on this side of it. Even though I know, I'm still shocked.
CALLER: That blows me away. But the law is on the books, man.
RUSH: Well, that's the point. It was on the books but they weren't enforcing it. They weren't letting you enforce it, or local Arizona law enforcement was not allowed to enforce it. So Arizona said, "All right, we'll write our own law" that essentially mirrors the statute you just cited, And the court today told them, "You can't."
CALLER: Brother, I'm on the same page with you. I believe that. I'm all in favor of them doing what they're doing. It drives me crazy that the Supreme Court won't let 'em do it. It drives me up a tree. I have never called one of these shows before. I listen to you every day, but I've never called. And this angered me to the point that I... Hell, I've been dialing the phone now for 20 minutes tryin' to get through.
RUSH: Well, I'm glad you did.
CALLER: It's on the books, man! It's Title 8 United States Code, Section 1304(e). It's on the books. It's on the books, and I'm sorry --
RUSH: Yes. If the federal government won't enforce it, it may as well not be there. It doesn't... Look, John, it doesn't make any sense why we aren't enforcing duly constituted laws.
CALLER: Amen. Amen.
RUSH: And this, I would have to think --
CALLER: I'm right there with you, man. I'm right there with you.
RUSH: This has to make your job more dangerous.
CALLER: Like I said, I've been doing this for 25 flippin' years, all right? Nobody has more frustration over this than I do. Nobody. Nobody in the whole damn world. I have refused promotions to stay out in the bushes, to stay out and enforce the law, and that's why I'm staying now. I could retire tomorrow. I could be done. But somebody's gotta do it.
RUSH: But you can't now. At least not that statute.
CALLER: I could go, but I'm very good at what I do.
RUSH: Good.
CALLER: I'm very good at what I do.
RUSH: I like hearing people say that. I love hearing people say they're good at what they do. I believe you are.
CALLER: I love what I do and I'm very, very good at what I do. But it angers me when the country won't do the right thing. And like I said, there are a lot of people who are gonna recognize my voice, and I'll probably get in trouble over this. But that's okay, 'cause I can sign the papers tomorrow and be done.
RUSH: What would happen to you? If you are recognized, what?
CALLER: They'll probably throw me out.
RUSH: Fire you?
CALLER: Probably. Probably. And I have a very recognizable voice, kind of like yours.
RUSH: Right. So you're not allowed to have -- or you're not allowed to express -- an opinion that contrary to the government's?
CALLER: Well, unofficially, no. We're really not. We're not supposed to speak out against the government. We're not supposed to do that. It's kind of like... I mean, we're the closest thing to the military there is.
RUSH: You ever come close to anything to do with Fast and Furious?
CALLER: I'm not gonna talk about that. I'll tell you, I have been shot at, but I don't know who supplied those weapons. But, no, I'm not gonna talk about Fast and Furious.
RUSH: All right.
CALLER: I appreciate talking to you, sir.
RUSH: I'm glad you got through, John.
CALLER: I listen to you every day that I can. Normally I can't because normally I'm in places where I can't even pick up AM radio. But today is my day off. I'm celebrating my anniversary with my wife. So I happened to be listening to you while going down the road to go eat. I'm taking my wife out and we're gonna try to have a good time.
RUSH: Well, I hope you do. I need to ask something. This is acceptable. I've gotta find a way for you to listen to this program when you're not within range of one of our affiliates. Do you have a computer?
CALLER: I'm normally not in range.
RUSH: Well, we can fix that. Do you have a computer?
CALLER: Uh, yeah. Of sorts.
RUSH: "Of sorts." Are you a member of my website?
CALLER: I am not.
RUSH: Okay. Well, when we finish here, I want you to hang on, 'cause I'm gonna ask Snerdley to get your address. We'll send you a little MacBook air. It's a great little computer, portable, state of the art. But we're also gonna make you a subscriber to Rush 24/7.
CALLER: You don't need to. You don't need to do that, sir.
RUSH: No, no, no. I know I don't have to, but here's the thing. Every day when this program is over we prepare a podcast of it that is downloadable from our website or from iTunes. We don't put any commercials in it because we don't sell any advertising in the podcast. And you can listen to it on an iPod, an iPhone, or whatever you have in your car.
CALLER: I don't own one of those, so...
RUSH: Well, we'll fix that, too. But regardless, the point is that you, with the podcast, can download it to the portable player and listen to it whenever you have time. You don't have to be in range of the radio.
CALLER: Sir, I very much do appreciate it. But like I said, you don't need to do that.
RUSH: I know. The fun of it is being able to when I don't have to.
CALLER: All right.
RUSH: Now, don't hang up. We need to get all the information to get this stuff to you and some 'structions.
CALLER: And listen. Listen. At my own peril, I'm gonna tell you: You just keep doing what you're doing. We need more people doing what you're doing.
RUSH: I can handle it. I can handle it. I appreciate that. I find it amazing that you are afraid for people that you work for to know that you have said what you've said.
CALLER: Well, probably. Yes.
RUSH: I guess that's...
CALLER: But you know what? You just keep doing what you're doing. We need more people like you.
RUSH: I appreciate that very much. Now, don't hang up.
CALLER: All right.
RUSH: The next person you talk to will be Mr. Snerdley again. That's John from the southwestern part of the country.
END TRANSCRIPT
” What it all boils down to is that somewhere in the neighborhood of 540 citizens are determined to tell the other 310 million of us to go to hell.”
This is just exactly what is happening. The Ruling Class
has sold us down the river, and flipped us off, as we were being sold.
If Roberts caved on this he can cave on 0-Care. I am worried. Roberts had some recent health episodes and this can take the fight out of a man. And make him more go-with-the-flow liberal
Should have recused himself. I wasn’t aware of that.
That sounds very near grounds for impeachment.
How the hell could he have used that level of judgment?
I agree. If Obama wants to skirt the laws of our nation, let other national entities pick and choose what laws they will enforce.
Rush mentioned today that he knew why Roberts would vote the way he did, and I couldn’t think of anything else but his ADOPTED children, so I googled and VOILA, they came from Ireland VIA LATIN AMERICA!
My anger? Ya think I'm alone?
You should be angry too, since you're paying his government salary and will be paying for his generous government retirement pension as your country has been overrun. In fact, his government bosses are corrupt to the core. No?
Since we now have upwards of 25 million illegals in the country, millions running all over our country, ya have to ask...What the hell are the BP and ICE doing to earn their paychecks and retirements??
Try performing a job like this in civilian life. The supervisors are fired and in fact the company goes belly up and everyone lose their jobs...They lose **everything**.
No enough? As these millions flood in, the choke off the emergency rooms, hospitals, schools, decimate the social service, create epic violent crime and basically corrupt our entire system.
In fact, ya can't flood the country with millions of illegals and not expect your GD electoral process to be undermined and compromised.
Hello?
Any real American who is not angry about this corruption, is not paying attention, just plain stupid or in a coma.
Never forget CA Prop 187.
To me, that is when government truly revealed their intentions.
Was it Sotomayor who recused herself for today’s ruling. I suppose we were lucky to get even that much.
How do kids go from Ireland to Latin America to the U. S.?
That’s rather strange...
I don't have to say it. Besides many, many other examples, Justice Kennedy "said" it by gratuitously invoking Article 37(a) of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in Graham v. Florida.
I say that tongue-in-cheek. Supreme Court Justices do NOTHING "gratuitously" - by definition.
In addition, SCOTUS isn't a Common Law court. The Founders created it to decide cases between the several States. The Founders would be appalled that Federal Administrative Law is being used to reach natural person citizens AT ALL, let alone that SCOTUS is ruling in such cases.
It's literally like taking the procedure manual for mechanics working on your car, to decide where you can and cannot drive. It's THAT different.
But today, no one even notices it's going on.
No, Kagan recused herself.......I would bet it;s a LOT easier to get into the US from LATIN AMRICA than from Ireland. But google it if you don’t believe me.
This guy was good...I heard him
He has been in the Border Patrol for 25 years so he has seen how much the illegal immigration situation has deteriorated. He will get in trouble due to getting on with Rush and speaking his mind
Rush was nice enough to send him a MacBook Air
You see it as fraud.
A Common law court would see it as fraud, too - but you can't get a United States court to sit in it's Common Law capacity. It CAN so sit, but at it's pleasure, and it won't.
What's left, is sitting in it's administrative capacity. And in it's administrative capacity, it considers cases in reference to compliance with statutes and regulations. And if those statutes and regulations allow the government to "presume" you have "agreed" to a "contract" that exists that it doesn't have to tell you about, then it rules that that presumed contract is binding unless you refute the presumption.
But wait, you say - I didn't even know it was presumed, or what the contract specifies, or what the refutation procedure is!
That's okay, the Court replies (if it replied, which it won't, because it's ruled that it doesn't have to), we've ruled that you don't have to be told those things - it's your responsibility to already know them.
Next case.
One should begin to wonder why they won't, and tell me it is about cheap labor.
Think Clarence.....
What do you think will happen in AZ now?
