Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill Monday that would have required presidential candidates to provide their birth certificates to appear on the ballot, and another that would have allowed guns to be carried on school grounds.

Yes, they can over ride her veto.
I think Jan is afraid of the “R” word.

“This next election has to be about the things Obama has done and what he will do, not where the hell he was born.”
You can’t complain about anything. Enjoy your Banana Republic.
That’s as stupid as saying Clinton’s perjury and obstruction of justice are laughable because it’s just about tee-hee sex.
Abu Ghraib was just about tee-hee sex.
There are women being stoned to death all over the world, buried up to their necks - all because of tee-hee sex.
People need to grow up. This is about the rule of law. The Passport Office accepts documents from a child’s early life in lieu of a birth certificate if a BC is not available. I guess because it could possibly be about circumcision - (gasp! - a penis, tee-hee) we all have to act like we’re in 5th grade again and forget that it’s about the United States Constitution, and about a treasonous liar not being able to take over the most powerful position in the world while flipping off every voter in the country and saying it’s none of our business whether our own country is stolen out from underneath us.
I am so sick of hearing morons talk about this issue.
Hope and Change, part II, no BC required.
Yee ha!
She was never a conservative. I saw her on television early in 2010 and she was incoherent. She is just the kind of politician that only AZ can fall for!
Did she actually say to Greta that “This vote was a distraction.”?
If so, that’s a dead giveaway that she’s followed a “suggestion” to veto. The word “veto” can be substituted with “toe the line”.
“This...a distraction” is the phrase thrown out by all of the on-air people at Fox News over the past many weeks - ever since David Gregory started this ‘birthers are nuts’ campaign. Recall - it DID start before Trump first voiced his suspicions.
I can’t believe any other reason for the word ‘distraction’ being used by so many than that it’s by dictum.
It’s not only Fox people it’s EVERYONE associated with politics or media who gives ‘their’ opinion of birthers. And it goes along with NONE of them uttering the phrase ‘natural born citizen’, and ALL of them spouting the ‘they think he’s not a citizen’ meme.
What’s especially sickening about it is how many supposed conservatives and Republicans so blindly [or willingly] parrot what are so obviously Alinsky tactics employed to discredit opposition to the questioners of Obama’s eligibility.
I’m about convinced Rove is on Obama’s payroll as a shadow-czar.
“Hope and Change, part II, no BC required.”
I hope he/she doesn’t own a car dealership. If they do they better start donating to the marxist, democrat, usurper soon.
from hour to hour this republic rots and rots..
The only part that matters is whether the bill allows standing. And in AZ standing was particularly allowed for state legislators who have subpoena power, so (as I understand it, and hopefully somebody will correct me if I’m wrong) they can subpoena the transaction logs and other records necessary to determine whether the records have been manipulated or altered without a judge being able to limit their discovery.
The Arizona bill is a good bill. It covers the bases. The reason Brewer gave to veto it is because it does what she says should be done - it keeps a SOS from being able to single-handedly make an eligibility decision based on sheer politics.
Do you know if the Louisiana bill gives people legal standing to challenge eligibility? The AZ move to specifically allow state legislators to have standing is important also, if that ensures that a political-activist and/or bribed judge can’t keep discovery of the transaction logs from happening.
Right now we have no Constitutionally-functioning legislative, executive, or judicial branch, and a treasonous media. What we have to defend the Constitution with is you and me. Period. We the people are the last line of defense because all the infrastructure has become a criminal enterprise - and I do not say those words lightly. I mean every word of it, based on what I have seen and can document.
John McPain!!!
So the Arizona Republicans are more concerned with the survival of their political lives than with the survival of our Constitution...
*SPIT*

Brewer -- "You know, the bottom line is, is that I just have to call them as I see them, and it doesn't help Arizona. This bill is a distraction."

I don’t know the specifics of Brewer’s decision or what else is in the bill (although I’m seeing that she doesn’t want the SOS to be gatekeeper), but I do know that the documents should be available to everyone and not just one politically-motivated individual. Anybody want to trust that Minn. SOS who got Franken into the Senate?
I will complain about anything I want, especially you crazy birthers.
You all are just ignorant dolts. To claim that he wasn’t born in the U.S.A with zero evidence of that fact. You all dismiss all the evidence that he was in fact born in Hawaii.
Stupid fools. All of you.
Good. Enjoy your Banana Republic. You deserve it.
In order for any legal resident to challenge the SOS decision, they would have to have access to the documents.
This bill would have provided accountability to the SOS, and added 3 other layers to catch a wrong decision if the SOS acted out of line: a legal resident who challenged the SOS decision, state court, and the US Supreme Court. This bill was about accountability, the rule of law, and allowing individuals to PETITION THE GOVERNMENT FOR A REDRESS OF GRIEVANCES.
Jan Brewer vetoed a law that would create accountability. Somebody noted that she was the SOS who allowed Obama on the ballot in 2008. Maybe she has a little bit of a conflict of interest here, not wanting there to be accountability or transparency...
Like I said, I am so sick of morons talking about this issue.
Evidence that there are problems with Obama’s alleged “proof”? Start reading at http://www.butterdezillion.wordpress.com and when you’ve digested all those facts, then come back and we can talk.
Seems like yesterday she was saying she hadn’t really looked at the bill, and today she’s saying she’s too embarrassed to sign it because it mentions the word “circumcision”.
Can a 50-year-old woman (or however old she is) be as stupid as a 7th-grade girl in heat? What kind of morons is she listening to anyway?
And her argument is as backwards as anything could be. This bill would add 3 more “gatekeepers” so she vetoed it because she thinks there shouldn’t just be one gatekeeper? I know 4-year-olds who can reason better than that.
