Arizona Law will be ruled unconstitutional?

Gov. Jan Brewer’s signing of SB 1070 into law has one more obstacle to overcome before it can be permanently placed on the books. It has to pass the scrutiny of the courts. In our system of government there are three equal branches of government: Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Although lawmaking is constrained to the legislative and executive branches of government, the courts can overturn law and rule it unconstitutional. However, it is common practice for the legislative and executive bodies to vet laws for its constitutionality before they are placed on the legislative agenda. Given that SB 1070 was appropriately vetted, one begs to question why so many conclusively label Arizona’s SB 1070 as unconstitutional. Has politics blinded the eyes of Arizona’s legal analysts or do the masses have it wrong? (more…)

Again, I encourage you to visit my new site and subscribe (once the plugin is up). I will leave this site up, however I will no longer post anything new on here. I Thank you for your readership and I look forward to seeing your comments on the new site.

April 23, 2010 will go down in history as the day the United States of America took a step back to an era prior to 1960’s Civil Rights, and into the days of Jim Crow; a dark era of open and legalized discrimination. Arizona, in a rather nefarious manner, attempted to address illegal immigration in its state by passing SB 1070, which was signed into law by Republican Governor, Jan Brewer. Though many are in support of the spirit of the law, the law shamefully goes too far and further tarnished the Republican Party’s legacy on civil rights and its adherence to the liberties promised in the United States Constitution. Ultimately this is an attempt to once again divide the people in order to secure national gains for the minority party, the Republican Party.
Good Grief Charlie Crist!

U.S. Senate candidate Gov. Charlie Crist (I-FL) has the ability to restore the true mantra of the Republican Party. A senate win would seriously put into question how representative Florida Republican primary voters are to the larger share of republican voters, and whether the Republican Party of Florida as a whole is out of touch with the general electorate. When Crist announced his run as an independent most polls reflected a six point lead over his closest competitor, however the most recent Rasmussen Poll places him at a close second to Republican candidate Mr. Marco Rubio. How could Gov. Crist, or any candidate of a major party, be a dead horse in a primary but rise to the top in an open race?
