A federal appeals court today blocked the enforcement of key provisions of Arizona's immigration law, considered one of the toughest in the nation.

...

Judge Richard Paez, writing for a split panel, said, "By imposing mandatory obligations on state and local officers, Arizona interferes with the federal government's authority to implement its priorities and strategies in law enforcement, turning Arizona officers into state-directed [Homeland Security] agents."

"Congress has created a comprehensive and carefully calibrated scheme" Baez wrote, "and has authorized the Executive to promulgate extensive regulations for adjudicating and enforcing civil removability."

2-1 decision in the 9th Circuit. I'm not surprised it wasn't 3-0 in that court.

Bottom line, the Federal Government has abdicated their responsibility to control the border and uphold its own laws. Arizona has a right to defend itself.

What that gobbledegook says is the Feds have the right to pick and choose which laws to enforce and which crimes to purposely ignore, which is of course ridiculous and un-Constitutional.

The feds do have the right to pick and choose which laws to enforce. It's called promulgation. When GHW Bush promulgated the LAW that said no overseas family clinics can even talk about abortion, it was called a gag rule. And of course, Clinton reversed that on his say so.

What that has to do with this spefic case is puzzling, but I like your passion.

Promulgation refers to the formal announcement of a law after it has been approved by Congress or a Presidential veto has been over-turned.

There is no Constitutional defense for a government entity letting a select group escape Justice for any reason.

Promulgation is evident on a frequent basis. Consider that when your town needs revenue, the police hand out more tickets. This is because they're selectively enforcing parking violations.

The word "immigration" doesn't appear in the constitution at all. There's no constitutional basis for the government regulating it in the least.

That the feds aren't out busting every medical marijuana clinic and doctor is another pretty good example.

I'm pretty sure it's under "provid[ing] for the common defense". It's about securing our borders. Fuck, we went after Pancho Villa for less than this.
