COURT DECISION ON AZ SB 1070 IMMIGRATION LAW
TYPICAL OF POLITICIZED FEDERAL JUDICIARY
Outrageous Decision of Judge Bolten Gutting the Law Not Surprising Given Her
Appointment by a Democratic Administration
The People Come Second to the Judge’s Career Prospects
(Phoenix, Arizona, July 29, 2010). Today, federal judge Susan R. Bolten issued a preliminary injunction in effect gutting Arizona’s new law designed to stop or at least curtain the massive flow of illegal immigrants into the state, and its attendant costs and risks to the citizens.
Larry Klayman, founder of Judicial Watch and Freedom Watch issued this statement:
“After many years of legal practice, I had no difficulty predicting the result. Judge Bolten, who was appointed to the court during the Clinton administration, knows that if she is ever to be nominated to a higher post – perhaps at the Ninth Circuit – that she better not rule against her benefactor, the Democratic establishment now lead by President Barack Obama.
Regrettably in her zeal to cover her own political flanks, the people of Arizona and the nation have been treated as unimportant. This is just another example of the judiciary feathering its own nest, at the expense of the people.
Judge Bolten’s decision ruling unconstitutional the questioning under AZ SB 1070 of persons who are stopped for ‘probable cause’ – to determine if they are in Arizona legally – is not only outrageous, it also conflicts with established law that police officers can probe into such matters once “probable cause exists.” Now, it is even unclear, given the judge’s politically motivated ruling, that they can even follow the law that existed before AZ SB 1070. Judge Bolten in her zeal to bow down to and further the pre-election strategy of President Obama and the Democrat establishment, has subverted legitimate law enforcement and endangered the citizens of Arizona.
Freedom Watch, which represents the Arizona Latino Republican Association and its CEO, Jesse Fernandez, both of whom support AZ SB 1070, will take this matter to the U.S. Supreme Court for redress. My clients intervened in this case to tell the American people that Latinos also respect the law and are proud to be part of this country, and want to play a major role in solving the illegal immigration problem. The rich Latin culture has added greatly to our nation and its values.
This country is on the verge of revolution, as we were in 1776, because the sovereign and its court system refuse to address the people’s grievances. I hope to avert this by using peaceful means to ‘overthrow’ the establishment, which is destroying our nation.”

Well isn’t that why we come here, Wanumba? They aren’t trying to hide what they think…
It makes more sense when you discover that in a search results, the title of the article is listed, and usually with the first line of the first comment.
Planting derogatory first lines, first posts is a common Leftie gimmick to undermine the article and the author.
I wondered at the preponderance of drop and bolt derogatory first posts – until a sample search showed what was going on.
I honestly did not know that! Wanumba, thanks for the info!
Anything that helps!
It is pretty obvious that the above rant has no basis in the law, when instead the author goes straight into attack mode against the judge, whose character and political opinions had exactly nothing to do with her quite correct finding that SB1070′s major active parts were in violation of the US constitution. Any honest judge would have rendered the same verdict.
SB1070 usurped powers reserved to the federal government, full stop.
Anyone who survived an eighth grade civics class would know that, yet Jan Brewer, with an entire high school education, pretends she didn’t know this in advance.
Obviously she did, and obviously this law, with its origins in Arizona’s “white power” cesspool, was designed not to prevail as law, but to start a quarrel with the federal government that would provide more fuel for electing GOP candidates in Arizona, via grandstanding and pretense of being injured and astonished by the actions of some federal judge invalidating SB1070, which as a matter of law, was a done deal in advance.
You be led by the nose if you like it.
Those of us with intact analytical faculties will refuse to be moved by this self-evident vote harvesting ploy.
xanthian.

Just what the country needs, another Snot Nosed Racist Bigot with an IQ of 2 above a carrot. You are obviously a by-product of the ignorant public school system, if you’ve been taught that this soon to be impeached excuse of a judge followed the Constitution.
You need to brush up on your Supreme Court precedents before you open your mouth to tell the world just how ignorant you really are. The Federal Gov, authority covers only that of Visas, and granting of citizenship. In other words they can determine who gets in, who can stay, and who will get booted out, that’s it and this judge knows that precedent. It is are spelled out in very exact wording in the precedent.
