They say activists are also prepared to commit civil disobedience to fight the Arizona immigration bill. Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer signed the bill Friday. It requires police to question people about their immigration status — including asking for identification — if they suspect someone is in the country illegally. The law will take effect in late July or early August. robert millerRev. Al Sharpton said he'll fight the Arizona immigration bill, by civil disobedience if necessary. President Barack Obama has called the new law "misguided" and has instructed the Justice Department to examine it to see if it's legal. |

| #5 OK so has Barry, Sharpton or any of the screaming cry babies even read the law??? They don't read little laws, especially laws that are "footnote-sized". And it looks like Al is feeling marginalized again these days. |

| #4 49 Pan, exactly bro'. I read the thing - only 16 pages - obviously too overwhelming for Mr. Tawanna Brawley to digest. I have several lib buddies telling me how unconstitutional the bill was based on a BBC report - of course, none of them had read it either. So I had to tell them to shut the f8ck up and get back w/me after they've read it. I'd love to hear a Rantburger's professional opinion abt the constitutionality of SB1070. I think it pasts muster but I'm just an amateur historian/aspiring constitutional scholar. This website is one of the few I can actually trust for some educated feedback on current events. |
