    Shakira promises that she'll huff, and she'll puff, and she'll blow this bill to bits.

    This is where we're at -- pop divas turned activists, armed with no more than high school civics course as their means of activism, muddling and misrepresenting the issue. Somebody go unlock the McDonaldland gate for the kiddies so the grownups can sort this out.

    I think it's pretty telling that something like 70 percent of the voters in Arizona are for this and Brewer's approval rating has skyrocketed since this was signed.

    I think people should trust the people in Arizona before they start freaking out so much over this. I know a lot of people in California who wish Arnold would do the same thing.
     
  3. It is telling. It's proof that people prefer a bill with no substance to one that actually is enforceable, which is exactly what the grandstanding disgraces were banking on.

    Also, the "people in Arizona" don't get to overrule the 14th or Fourth Amendments to the constitution. Not if the vote was 100-0.

    This is the problem with having states. What we need is one country in which federal law applies in every situation.

    If you get pulled over for speeding, what is the first thing the cop asks you for?

    Why are you asking that?

    A driver's license. Because you are driving.
     
  9. Not the argument. Not even close.

    But if they cracked down on tax evasion that way, it would target whites.

    So if you get arrested for any crime are you not asked to provide identification?

    If you speed, cops have cause to pull you over.

    What exactly is the cause for giving cops authority to randomly stop people with no cause?

    Even cops who don't use it as justification to harass people are being reduced to trying to racial profile people. This is a civil rights atrocity on so many levels.
