Finally, some of the first photos of Arizona's new immigration enforcement are coming in:

Here is Az's response to Obama:

Staring down the barrel of November, are we, Governor? Smells like an election year to me.

In 1967, the year the U.S. supreme court legalized interracial marriage, about 72% of Americans opposed interracial marriage.

Were 72% of Americans racist in 1967?

Why is there no interracial male couple depicted in the header photos? I sense discrimination here...

"She was asked what she thought about the new immigration law in Arizona. The judge who asked her the question was Oscar Nunez."

Ooops, probably not a great political move.

Whoa!  Red Arrow...are you really me in disguise??  I have only known two other people that knew that phrase let alone use it!  (Just because you are paranoid...)

Who am I really?  Could my alter ego personality actually BE Red Arrow??

Now I AM feeling paranoid!!

Nah, don't worry.  We disagree on enough items we cannot be clones.  However, go ahead and feel paranoid if you wish.

Yeah, I know...but it made a cute little side story!

No Democrat politician is going to admit that they have read the Arizona law.  They have been instructed to claim that they have not read it. 

The reason is. . .the consequences of ridicule for not reading the 10 page law are minor compared to having knowledge of the legislation and answering any questions related to it.  The primary line of questioning would focus on these two questions:

What can any Arizona law enforcement official do under the Arizona immigration law that a federal law enforcement official cannot already do?

What requirement does the Arizona law place on any non-citizen living in Arizona that federal law does already not place on any non-citizen living elsewhere in the United States?  

This would defuse the mock outrage, and turn the line of questioning back to federal responsibility and its failure.

It's a catch 22, so it's better to claim ignorance.

And, apparently, our USAG & director of Homeland Security haven't bothered to read it either.  The hyperbole rings so much truer when they don't know the truth behind the bill:

"President Barack Obama and his administration began blasting Arizona's controversial immigration law the day Gov. Jan Brewer signed it. But over the past week, a growing list of top administration officials, including Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, acknowledged that they haven't read the legislation.

The revelations come as Republicans step up their criticism of the Obama administration's response to the Arizona law, which makes it a state crime to be in the United States without proper documentation and directs local police to pursue, during a lawful stop, detention or arrest, the immigration status of people they reasonably suspect to be illegal immigrants. The law has generated calls for economic boycotts of Arizona and has led to five lawsuits, many filed by civil-rights groups.

On Thursday, Holder, who has a team of Justice Department attorneys reviewing the statute to prepare for a possible legal challenge, told the House Judiciary Committee that he had only "glanced at it."

"I have not read it," he said."

They have all read it.  There is just no way to defend their stance.  Better to claim ignorance, than to embrace it as policy.

This thing is going to continue to produce political "Sharts" for the administration until they fix the problem.
