The Justice Department has set up a hotline for the public to report potential civil rights concerns regarding the Arizona law that requires police to check the immigration status of those they stop for other reasons.
The hotline phone number is 1-855-353-1010. The email is: SB1070(at)usdoj.gov.
The Supreme Court unanimously approved Arizona’s “show-me-your-papers” requirement on Monday but struck down provisions that created state crimes allowing local police to arrest people for federal immigration violations.
Let’s just say what we’re all thinking: The federal government is at war with AZ. Which means it as at war with states in principle.
We are in the midst of a coup. And unlike some who pretend to laugh dismissively at the “hysteria” of such a description, I’m not embarrassed to use the word — particularly when what is happening is that we are watching the Constitutional republic systematically dismantled by a federal government forever expanding its powers. Pretending that this is all much ado about nothing — we’ve had partisan conflicts before, you see, so just settle down, purists — may be bien pensant among the pragmatic set, but in the end, smugness won’t prove a useful defense against tyranny either.
A house may still look like a house even after the termites have eaten out its insides, but just try living in the thing.
Me, I wouldn’t recommend plugging in the microwave.

Why not flood the hotline with calls on how illegals are infringing on citizens’ civil rights? Or how the Feds deliberate failure to enforce the border is depriving citizens of the enjoyment of their own property?
oh my the leftards think that too

Arizona’s immigration enforcement handshake law with the Feds (287(g)) was ‘yanked’ by Obama; AZ State Senator Pierce was vehement and vocal…
A pity he didn’t call him ‘SCOAMF’.
jdw
Obama is playing the odds … who in the NE corridor or within the beltway worries about dead bodies at the border? Be they Mexicans or American ranchers?
Hell, they only care about illegals when Maria botches mixing the pitcher of vodka martinis.
“Hell, they only care about illegals when Maria botches mixing the pitcher of vodka martinis.”
….and getting them to the polls on time on election day.
Who could have seen this coming?

We’re undergoing The Coup of Wrath, is what.
OT: just nailed 532 on the deadlift, Plateau Buster handle. The 100-degree temperature nearly prompted my passing out. But, you know: fuck yeah!
Where’s our tubby little Surgeon General? Can’t she insist that Obama have a mental evaluation and then we can get the machinary cranked up to have him removed? I could put up with Plugs as de facto pres for a few months.
Ah. A snitch line in case some of the local apparatchiks are insufficiently revolutionary. The Komsomol would be proud.
That’s how you can tell it’s working. The other way you can tell is that you just deadlifted 532. Key-reist.
FYI, they already cast the Hulk for the Avenger franchise in case you hadn’t heard.
Going for 552 next. Really want to hit that 550# mark. But if not today, later. After the hernia heals.
Shit: on the third try I got it up off the ground but not enough to really lock out. Still, a good night’s work. Can’t complain. Except for the beer gut. But, well, meh.
If one can work as hard as you do and still have a beer gut, I will have to make peace with mine. My dead lift has a long way to go to even be a warmup for you I think.
Do you drink creatine?
I just now got an opinion poll call from the sweetest little girl and I was so excited to express my opinion that I didn’t hang up.
* Hello I am calling to speak to an adult in the house, would that be you?
# Yes, that is me. (answering cheerfully)
* This is an opinion poll call. It will only take a minute. Would you be willing to participate?
# Yes. Shoot. (chirping birdlike, enthusiastically, childlike really it’s a thing I do)
* Okay Sir, you are something something something Colorado, right?
# Yes.
* Are you presently driving.
# These are not poll questions. (suspicious) They’re sales questions You’ve got one more question to make this a poll. (aggressive, border hostile)
* Sir, this is important we have to verify so that we something something something something what is your birth date?
# O fuck you.
I have some here but I haven’t used it in close to 2-3 years now. I haven’t been taking any kind of supplement, not even protein. I probably should, but I’ve been saving the calories so I can drink myself into a stupor most nights.
I was thinking it might be useful on these nights when you were doing a series of max sets. I’ve had some positive results that way. Better results on the max sets actually even though I don’t know how that would work.
Drinking’s nearly killed one good friend of mine. Known the boy most of my adult life; but after 18-plus years of near-nightly 12-packs (sometimes 18!) of rotgut Bud Ice or equivalent, he can hardly hold hold his kayak straight in mid-Class-3 rivers anymore. And those Class 4-5 runs? might as well leave him at home. Damned shame, really.
Lay every crime, every death, every stupid accident at Obama’s door. Explain how states like Arizona now understand that they can never trust Obama or vote for him. Constantly produce footage of the problem and its effects and lay them at Obama’s door.
They’ve set up a hotline for illegals or those who feel their rights have been violated but now refuse to take the AZ police calls to check whether an illegal is one or not.
Is this bizarre or what?
Yeah. But if they haven’t learned from twitter hashtag games, they never will.
Serious question: How do civil rights and the Constitution align?
I understand if American citizens feel profiled. But are illegals supposed to call if they’re pulled over? They don’t have any rights under the Constitution. What “civil rights” do illegals have? And why would the federal government care more about the “civil rights” of illegals than “uphold, protect, and defened the Constitution”?
“They don’t have any rights under the Constitution.”
Strictly speaking, that’s simply not true. They don’t have precisely the fully extensive rights of citizens of the United States, but retain their natural rights as human beings under the
Constitution.
“And why would the federal government care more about the “civil rights” of illegals than “uphold, protect, and defened the Constitution”?”
I don’t believe this is actually true about the ‘Federal Government’ as such, but (see the Locke links to Chapter XIX, sec’s 211- 221, and especially sec. 222 bh quotes in the Aaron Walker thread) is indicative that our federal government has been usurped by private actors posing as legitimate rulers, when they are not.

“Brinkin, who has a longtime partner and a teenage son, retired in 2010 after working for 22 years with the San Francisco Human Rights Commission.”
…
“Upon his retirement, Dufty introduced a Board of Supervisors resolution declaring the first seven days of February 2010 Larry Brinkin Week in honor of his advocacy.
Brinkin remains president of the board of directors for the California Association of Human Relations Organizations. “
Obviously, Pablo, by “White Supremacy! White Dick Rules!” Mr. Brinkin meant, “I appreciate all ways of life and support diversity in public and private venues.” And it’s hohophobic of you to imply otherwise with your shadow implications of code-worded bigotry and racism, you bigoty bigot.
Mirengoff, so far as he goes (not quite far enough to my thinking. Nevertheless) has this much right. A sample:
Tyrant. Plain and simple.
Locke (Chapter XVIII):
Maybe the states should stop enforcing counterfeiting laws.
I certainly wouldn’t help in any Federal environmental law enforcement.
I’d assume some would like the states to get out of the drug enforcement business as well.
