Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer slams 'foreign interference' in immigration lawsuit

 

Governor Brewer must feel like "Alice in Wonderland"

 

By SCOTT WONG

In a new twist in the fight over Arizona’s immigration law, Republican Gov. Jan Brewer on Tuesday asked a federal court to disallow foreign governments from joining the U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit to overturn the law.

The move comes in response to a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling issued Monday, allowing nearly a dozen Latin American countries — Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and Chile — to submit friend-of-the-court briefs in Justice’s challenge to SB 1070, which Brewer signed into law in April and is considered one of the nation’s toughest immigration-enforcement measures.

“As do many citizens, I find it incredibly offensive that these foreign governments are using our court system to meddle in a domestic legal dispute and to oppose the rule of law,” the Republican governor said in a statement shortly after the state’s motion was filed Tuesday evening.

“What’s even more offensive is that this effort has been supported by the U.S. Department of Justice. American sovereignty begins in the U.S. Constitution and at the border,” she added. “I am confident the 9th Circuit will do the right thing and recognize foreign interference in U.S. legal proceedings and allow the State of Arizona to respond to their brief.”

The 9th Circuit Court has long been famous for issuing weird, whacko, anti-American decisions. But this one has to set a new record -- allowing a dozen foreign nations to testify against the state of Arizona which stands accused of trying to defend itself from invasion by a foreign country. Accused by the U.S. federal government, which failed in its obligation to defend Arizona from foreign invasion.

This must be like a 1960s LSD psychedelic trip gone bad or a psychotic's nightmare. Maybe baraq obama is going through a bad flashback and making all of us participate in it. Can't somebody dose him up with methadone or throw a bucket of cold water on him or something?

Cap'n I dinna think the dilithium crystals can stand this much longer!
