Comments on: Fairer With More Balance https://whynow.dumka.us/2010/10/29/fairer-with-more-balance/ On-line Opinion Magazine...OK, it's a blog Sat, 30 Oct 2010 17:24:24 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 By: Bryan https://whynow.dumka.us/2010/10/29/fairer-with-more-balance/comment-page-1/#comment-53843 Sat, 30 Oct 2010 17:24:24 +0000 http://whynow.dumka.us/?p=17597#comment-53843 This is why the Hedgemony worked so hard to keep “enemy combatants” out of US territory after they were captured, because once in the US they have rights.

If they were interested in the “rule of law”, the DoJ would just arrest the government of Arizona for a violation of section 241 of Title 18 of the US Code – a conspiracy to deny civil rights, and any law enforcement officer who acted based on the bogus law under section 242 for acting “under color of office” to do the same.

It is blatantly unConstituational, and Arizona knew it when it was enacted.

Maybe I’m wrong, but I have a hard time imagining even the Roberts Court ruling that states can do crap like that.

The 14th Amendment, Section 1 reads “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

Any ‘baggers reading this, please note that the last two clauses apply to “any person,” not just to citizens… Arizona cannot unilaterally decide to deny that equal protection of the laws to anyone.

And if Arizona gets away with it, it seems unlikely to me that Mexico will let it pass without a response…
