How do we know she’s expected to sign?

I think it’s based on her track record and ties to those who pushed the bill. Now the time has been pushed to 4:30 est on an announcement/action

Bubbles,

I do believe Obama’s use of “fairness” was a way of saying it is likely to be held unconstitutional. SB1070 was certainly written with legal advice:

“Kris Kobach is a University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor and advocate for strengthening local law enforcement’s response to illegal immigration who helped write the legislation.”Link here:

Since this bill is so unprecedented in its sweep, courts may have to craft new arguments based on the U.S. Constitution. To declare it unconstitutional outright, Obama could jeopardize future legal action in some way.

I, personally, am confident that it will be struck down as Unconstitutional(as well my immigration law professor) but it will nonetheless be a fierce battle in Court if signed. The mere fact that it will inevitably be challenged and have a good chance of being struck down is all that Brewer should need to as a reason to veto it.

I also won’t rule out the coincidence of Obama saying this the same day as a decision is expected(think he may have spoken with Brewer in private?)

Let’s hope and pray for those that pray that Brewer does vetoes it.

Trying my best to keep people up to the ever changing developments. Seems Brewer is stalling

Bubbles, good point. I think that’s a principle purpose behind the AZ legislation–to redefine precedent.

But I cannot see the current SCOTUS, especially given the swing vote of Justice Kennedy(he is conservative on business issues, but when it comes to civil liberties, he is more liberal), upholding something like this.

Racial profiling does not work and I’ll prove it to you:

You’re sitting on a park bench at dusk in New York City’s Central Park. On the bench to your left are five African American teenagers. On the bench to your right are five white, middle-aged, overweight and balding Wall Street bankers.

QUESTION:

Which group is more likely to rob you of everything you own?

‘Nuff said?

We gave amnesty and citizenship to Confederate racists who waged The War of Southern Treason, so I don’t see why we can’t legalize people who are just here to work.

What’s the matter with Arizona? Arizona is a former Confederate state. Most people don’t know that. From Wikipedia: The Confederate Territory of Arizona became officially recognized when President Jefferson Davis signed the proclamation on February 14, 1862.

It’s good to know a little history to fully understand what’s happening here. Many persons are still fighting the Civil War. Most of the current generation of long-term, white residents does not even know the backstory. I want to emphasize that I believe most people everywhere, including here, are good by nature. But for a significant percentage, their parents and/or grandparents raised them with a lot of fear and mistrust of others. Of course, that can be a good thing or a bad thing depending on who you are.

The current generation however can change that, or not.

My prays go to all the families in Arizona who are having their lives torn apart. We have to understand that more than illegal immigrants we are are Human, we bleed ,cry feel just like any other person.

Hola Milo. Yeah there are crickets compared to our usual posting rate. I’m actually at a media conference trying to learn and better the work that I do and share my own experiences, we are all safe and in la lucha. More posts soon.
