Roberts leads the defeat of most of Arizona Immigration Law

[Billy the Great Khan]

Even if that were true, that is the right of the Federal Government.

No. You'll note that federal government hs no 'rights'. They certainly do not have to right to abdicate a duty, and then claim sole jurisdiction to execute that duty. If you choose to have that responsibility, you must choose to enforce it.

 

[Damocles]

What many conservatives do not understand is that the 10th amendment works in conjunction with the 9th.

States have powers.... AND the Federal Government has powers. Controlling immigration is a FEDERAL power.

Actually creating a uniform code of naturalization is a legislative power. Immigration itself is not mentioned. Leaving such power to the states...

Of course, even with that concurrent laws can and do exist.

Am I the only one who doubts Jarod is even capable of dressing himself in the morning?

Yes. It's your mindset that has you seeing people as much worse than they really are.

I want to see the Federal Government get sued. It would be about fucking time.

THe Federal Government gets sued ALL THE TIME. Ive sued them several times.

See the recient Supremem Court decision.

They ruled it was a power of the feds.
I asked you how it was pre-empting, since that is what you stated.

So you believe it's OK for the Federal Government to decide which laws they are to enforce and which ones they can ignore?
Does this now mean that they can also pick and choose which groups of people they can enforce laws on and which groups they can not enforce the same laws on?

 

[USFREEDOM911]

Correct, Not unless the Federal Government grants them that authority.

So it's OK with you if States decide to ignore bank robberies; seeing as how this falls under the Federal Government?

1. Yes
2. No

It would not be okay with me, but it would be constitutional.
