PHOENIX – Governor Jan Brewer said she was stunned and angered to learn during an Ecuadorean television interview with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the Obama Administration had decided to sue Arizona over its recently passed anti-illegal immigration law, SB1070.
Video of the interview can be seen at Governor Brewer’s Arizona Border Security Information website: www.azgovernor.gov/AZBorderSecurity.asp Secretary Clinton announced during the interview on June 8th that President Obama has directed the U.S. Justice Department to “bring a lawsuit against the Arizona law.”
“This is no way to treat the people of Arizona,” said Governor Brewer. “To learn of this lawsuit through an Ecuadorean interview with the Secretary of State is just outrageous. If our own government intends to sue our state to prevent illegal immigration enforcement, the least it can do is inform us before it informs the citizens of another nation.”
Governor Brewer said, “I just visited with the President in the Oval Office about our differences over immigration policy, and the one firm understanding we had was that within two weeks he would provide details of his commitment to deploy National Guard troops to the border. While I am grateful that communications have taken place about a possible visit by Administration staff before the end of the month, there is not yet a confirmed date. More importantly, no information about additional troop and border security enhancements has been provided by the Obama Administration to the citizens of Arizona.”
Governor Brewer recently announced the creation of a legal defense fund for private contributions in defense of Arizona’s illegal immigration enforcement measures – www.keepazsafe.com.
Over $22,000 in contributions have been made to the border legal defense fund since its announcement yesterday evening. Over $26,000 had previously been sent unsolicited to the Governor for legal defense of Arizona, for an approximate total of $48,000 in the fund.
Socialism is about never telling the truth to those who are not socialists. Much like Muslims, still, being Muslim
or socialist doesn’t mean your going to get the truth either.
Obama is even managing to outdo Bush’s enthusiasm for illegal aliens, which is hard to imagine.
All Dubya did was refuse to enforce the laws and to prosecute Border Patrol agents for doing their job, but here Obama is going after an entire state.
Excellent post.
I am firmly of the belief obama wants cw 2.
“This is no way to treat the people of Arizona,”
and the people of the United States, too. More than 2 years to go...
It just goes on and on. These people must be stopped. They really are playing with fire, people have had it with this crap.
SB - 1070 to be sued over by O-Butt-Head
In spite of his successes, Arnold was passed over for promotion by the Continental Congress while other officers claimed credit for some of his accomplishments.[3] Adversaries in military and political circles brought charges of corruption or other malfeasance, but he was acquitted in most formal inquiries. Congress investigated his accounts, and found that he owed it money after he had spent much of his own money on the war effort. Frustrated and bitter, Arnold decided to change sides in 1779, and opened secret negotiations with the British. In July 1780, he sought and obtained command of West Point in order to surrender it to the British. Arnold’s scheme was exposed when American forces captured British Major John André carrying papers that revealed the plot. Upon learning of André’s capture, Arnold fled down the Hudson River to the British sloop-of-war Vulture, narrowly avoiding capture by the forces of George Washington, who had been alerted to the plot.
Arnold received a commission as a brigadier general in the British Army, an annual pension of £360, and a lump sum of over £6,000.[4] He led British forces on raids in Virginia, and against New London and Groton, Connecticut, before the war effectively ended with the American victory at Yorktown. In the winter of 1782, Arnold moved to London with his second wife, Margaret “Peggy” Shippen Arnold. He was well received by King George III and the Tories but frowned upon by the Whigs. In 1787, he entered into mercantile business with his sons Richard and Henry in Saint John, New Brunswick, but returned to London to settle permanently in 1791, where he died ten years later.
Because of the way he changed sides his name quickly became a byword in the United States for treason or betrayal.[5] His conflicting legacy is recalled in the ambiguous nature of some of the memorials that have been placed in his honor.

But you're also right about the weirdness of what they're doing. It's political suicide, but these ideologues are careening headlong into political oblivion, doing the most damage to the country they hate while they have their chance.
It's surreal.
I wish we had one like her here in California. Instead we have Arnold the squish, and soon we will have Arnold-in-a-dress Meg Whitman.
The gop is usless other the women like brewer palin bachmann.
We can only hope...
Bush's enthusiasm is for his fellow man. While I may not agree with his political conclusions, the mettle and character of the man is unquestioned.
Obama, on the other hand, is the devil incarnate.
There have never been two successive Presidents so completely different in every way.
Thanks for the ping.
His “storm troopers” will turn on him, rather than face 100 million or more armed, angry citizens.
.
He seems so politically stupid, and yet so completely diabolical. What a scary child he is.
The difference between Benedict Arnold and our contemporary traitors is that Arnold had been an American hero, and a great one. He saved the American army at Saratoga and if he hadn’t the Revolution would have ended right there. Our current crop of traitors skip the hero part entirely.
Agreed 100% ... excellent summation.
