"If I had anything to say about it, we'd be doing it in Colorado," smiles former Republican Colorado Congressman Tim Tancredo.Tancredo applauds the law in that Arizona took control of enforcing laws the federal government hasn't enforced.
But he questions how police can stop people for any reason. "I do not want people here, there in Arizona, pulled over because you look like should be pulled over," says Tancredo.
He suspects police in Arizona will only pull people over for breaking the law. But they could already do this before the new law.
"The scary part of it is President Obama's solution is worse than the problem--amnesty," says Tancredo.

CONTEXT GOES A LONG WAY!!!!
Ah, that figures. I just really want this stuff to get going in more states.
OK. That’s better
Tancredo should work to pass it in Colorado. I liked him - past tense.
Thank you
Ok, I will give him another shot then.
Meh... Still looks like a bit too much “CYA/play both sides” maneuver.
onyx, you spoiled the hysteria with context :)
Thank you onyx.
Some Freepers are huge knee-jerkers. They read the spin of the article and freak out. Haven’t we learned it’s all about context?

Tom shot his mouth off without thinking. This is a stupid “blanket” statement, and he should have known better. Does Tancredo think those who drafted this law didn’t consult with a constitutional lawyer? Or several?
Does Tancredo think there is anything in this bill that even remotely says” you can pull over anyone at whim” ?
That pesky CONTEXT again! Now where have I seen comments taken out of context before??? Hmmm...
