Even though the Arizona immigration law's most controversial parts were found unconstitutional yesterday in a temporary injunction by Federal Judge Susan Bolton, the "less contentious" parts of the law are in effect today. Other states like Utah are expected to adopt the tweaked version of the law, but neither side of the dust-up in Arizona is backing down.
University of Missouri-Kansas City law professor Kris Kobach, who not only helped write the law but has worked to train Arizona police officers in immigration law, presumably clad in an American flag sweatshirt and matching bandana, was quoted as saying…
"It's a temporary setback. The bottom line is that every lawyer in Judge Bolton's court knows this is just the first pitch in a very long baseball game."
Interesting choice of words. And who on the Arizona Diamondbacks will be throwing out that pitch? Could it be Esmerling Vásquez or Jordan Noberto from the Dominican Republic? Or maybe Juan Gutiérrez from Venezuela?
And what about all the American pitchers who won't get the chance to throw out that first pitch because it's being thrown out by one these immigrants who're willing to throw it out earlier, faster, harder and for less money?
Former Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod said she will sue conservative Andrew Breitbart for posting an edited video of her on his website that portrayed her as making racist remarks.
According to the Associated Press, Sherrod made the announcement today in San Diego at the National Association of Black Journalists annual convention. The details of the lawsuit were not immediately clear.
Funny how she decided to announce this at a convention for the National Association of Black Journalists and not the National Association of White Journalists, isn't it? And someone please tell me precisely why she is suing white person Andrew Breitbart and not any of the black people who have knowingly posted heavily-edited videotape of her to their conservative websites in the past year. And, isn't it interesting how she has decided to sue him in a court of law instead of buy him an ice cream soda in a nice quaint little country cafe?
Could it be because her actions are racially motivated? How much more evidence do you people need?
Teabaggers turning on not only one of their own for a minor and politically-understandable infraction, but turning on the chairperson and creator of the actual congressional Tea Party Caucus?
Tea party groups in Missouri are furious that national tea party icon, Rep. Michele Bachmann, endorsed the strong frontrunner for the Senate nomination Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO). Bachmann will join Blunt for a fundraiser and to make campaign calls in his St. Louis headquarters Saturday…
"We believe she has been grossly misled if she understands him to be a Missouri Tea Party candidate," read a statement issued by 38 groups from the Show Me state, claiming to represent more than 8,660 activists.
How dare they accuse Bachmann of "understanding" Blunt to be something other than he is?! After everything she's contributed to their movement, those Missouri Tea Partiers have no right accusing her of "understanding" something like that. In fact, they have no right of accusing her of "understanding" anything.
As far as they — and all Americans for that matter — are concerned, Michele Bachmann understands absolutely nothing. Please, people, try to remember that.
