If the state police, national guard or military crack down on these border patrol, this is one lifelong conservative who will applaud. The Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments are also the law and they trump any mere statute.

If, in Arizona, where these self-appointed buttinsky militia groups thrive, is so terribly worked up over these great threats to "our" civilization, perhaps you can explain McCain and your new governor. Were they elected by phantom ballots or were you guys so busy playing nighttime warrior that you don't bother electing guys like Salmon as governor? America wants to know, especially if Napolitano runs for Senate against, say, John Kyl.

Well, Mister make-believe lawyer, if you knew the law you would know that these groups are not breaking the law. You have demonstrated an immense level of sheer ignorance about these groups, who they are, and how they operate. You seem to believe the libelous attack articles printed in the liberal lapdog media that these guys are rednecks forming their own militia and running around on the border with high-powered rifles hunting down "Pedros" (as you called them) for sport.

I know these guys. I've seen how they operate. That's not what they're doing.

There is no law the prevents any group - birdwatchers, hikers, rock hunters, or a group calling themselves "civil Homeland Defense" - from walking around in the border area carrying fully licensed and properly handled personal firearms for their protection. There is no law preventing any group - naturists, sightseers, nature photographers, or a group calling themselves "American Border Patrol" - from walking around in the border area using various photographic and wireless video equipment to record what they see. And if any of these groups happens to see suspected border intruders the law even states that they should report the crime to the appropriate authorities - which in this case is the U.S. Border Patrol.

Know the law, Mister make-believe lawyer, and maybe you'll stop spewing your nonsense.

Well, we know what happened to the last reporter who opposed McCain's political stringpuller and sponsor Kemper Marley, and so do the newsmen who cover Arizona politics and want to live to collect their gold watch and retirement check.

McCain is certainly no better, and his current criminal associates are no less murderous.
