Justice Department Drafts Challenge to AZ Law
Posted: May 26, 2010
I just love it. Does this mean the federal law is also wrong and they need to sue themselves???? Accordingly, (which I have not researched yet), the federal law allows the states to implement laws following the federal guidelines. I'll see what I can dig up.
A team of Justice Department attorneys has written a recommendation challenging the Arizona immigration law.
The draft recommendation, part of an ongoing Justice Department review, concludes the Arizona legislature exceeded its authority in crafting a law that could impede federal responsibility for enforcing immigration laws.
Some department lawyers are also concerned that the law could lead to abuses based on race.
The Arizona immigration law passed in late April is set to be implemented on July 29, barring any legal challenges. The controversial law that has attracted international attention and sparked protests around the country essentially gives Arizona law enforcement greater authority to look for and arrest illegal immigrants.
The bill would allow the police to question and arrest people without warrant if there is "reasonable suspicion" about their immigration status, and to charge undocumented citizens with "trespassing."
The review, however, is not yet complete and there are some within the Justice Department who challenge the recommendation's legal analysis. Sources tell ABC News that the ongoing review may take weeks more and that no formal recommendation has been sent to the White House.
The White House will have to give its stamp of approval for the Justice Department to challenge the law because this is a civil case.

People would have to carry proof of their immigration status and can be arrested if they don't have proper documents. It would become illegal for people to employ illegal immigrants or to transport them anywhere in the state, even if they are family members.
A number of police chiefs, including those from Phoenix and Tucson , came to the Department of Justice today to meet with Attorney General Eric Holder to discuss their opposition to the new law. The police chiefs told Holder that the law is driving a wedge between them and people in their communities. Other chiefs that attended included those from Los Angeles , Philadelphia, Houston and the Arizona Chiefs Association.

perjury and obstruction. Hillary Clinton testified before Congress and in her time before the committee, was asked many questions with regards to her e-mails. She answered many of them blatantly falsely, as evidenced by the testimony of FBI Director Comey. Perjury is a serious crime, and non-Clinton citizens are arrested for it. She claimed that there were no e-mails sent or received on her illegal private e-mail server that were marked as classified in any way. The FBI ...

Justice Department Investigates Death Threats Against SenatorsMar 10, 2011
Don't even try to tell me this is acceptable behavior or that the everyday people of Wisconsin support this.

Since these aren't Erik Holder's "people," will he allow these threats to continue or we will see some arrests? Can you just imagine the outrage if these protesters had been part of the "rad ...

Whoops! The Department Of Justice Admits That It Misunderstood U.S. Citizenship LawFeb 27, 2015
We all know that immigration law is complicated. We all know that human beings make mistakes. What we don't expect is that our government can't figure out who its own citizens are. But time and time again, the government disappoints. The latest culprit is the Department of Justice (DOJ), which employs the most powerful attorneys in the country. The DOJ has the authority to issue deportation orders. In a recent decision, the DOJ admitted that it has been misinterpreting ...
Obama Justice Department Was Involved In IRS Targeting, Lerner Emails RevealDec 12, 2014
Sadly, the 18 month investigation into the IRS targeting of conservative groups isn’t over, and it may be worse than anyone thought. A federal judge has broken loose more emails that the DOJ had surely hoped would never surface. The picture it reveals isn’t pretty. The documents prove that Lois Lerner met with DOJ’s Election Crimes Division a month before the 2010 elections. It has to be embarrassing to the DOJ, which may not be the most impartial one to be investigating the IRS. In fac ...

Hillary Will Not Challenge PDA Monopoly...Sep 20, 2016

If you believe that, there's a bridge in the middle of nowhere to buy. The fact is, neither is Clinton going to "reign in" drug companies, nor is there a widespread problem with "price-gouging," as she claims. The truth lies somewhere in-between, but make no mistake ab ...

Since I was laid off 2 years ago and have not been able to find a full-time job that offers insurance, I have no medical insurance at all. The surgery was done by an M.D., and her assistant was a PA-C. I always assumed that an M.D. Surgeon charges the most and any assistant would bill at a lower rate, especially if she ...
