Thank you Supreme Court - by Judson Phillips

Thank you Supreme Court




On May 26th, the United States Supreme Court decided a case.  There is nothing unusual about the Supreme’s deciding a case.   The vast majority of cases hear and decided by the Supreme Court do not make the news.  This one did not make much in the way of news, but the end result could be incredible.

On May 26th, the case of Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting was decided.  The genesis of this case came from Arizona’s frustration over illegal immigration.  Looking to do something about it, they came up with a very narrow idea.  The 1986 Immigration Reform Act stripped the abilities of the states to enforce immigration law.  But it did leave an opening.  The act specifically forbids states from punishing employers civilly or criminally for hiring illegal aliens.   It did leave the door open for the states to move in the area of “licensing.” 

The Arizona law, which was sometimes called the Business Death Penalty, allows the state to dissolve corporations who are repeat offenders in the hiring of illegal aliens. 

The Chamber of Commerce and the other open borders nuts went crazy when the law was passed.  Real Americans support their country.  Others just file lawsuits against laws that help America.

This case went all the way to the United States Supreme Court.   Arizona worded their law very carefully and walked right up to the edge of where federal law takes over.  Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, which praised Arizona’s law.

The significance of the decision goes further than just deciding this one case.  According to the ABA Journal, for the last century, everyone has accepted the idea that immigration is exclusively a Federal issue.  By deciding this case in favor of Arizona, they Supreme Court has taken that concept off of the table and allowed some room for the States to protect their interests against illegal aliens.

The next case up in this area is the case of United States v. Arizona.  This is the challenge to Arizona’s SB1070 that allows the police, when they have a reasonable suspicion about someone to ask about their immigration status.  That law may actually be moot since the Obama regime is not deporting anyone.  Sometime in the next few weeks, we will hear if the Court will grant cert, or in plain non-lawyer English, hear the case.

If they do, it could be a huge victory for the states.

Meanwhile, there is much work for us to do.  The amnesty advocates are out in full force.  Since the Obama regime has announced a basic end to deportations, it is a pretty good bet that border crossings by illegals are way up.  What we have to worry about is the illegals coming across and being registered to vote through programs like the motor voter laws that allow instant voter registration and allow for easy fraud. 

Earlier this year, the Secretary of State for Colorado discovered that at least 5,000 “non-citizens” had voted in the most recent election.  In some elections, 5,000 votes can decide the outcome.  In 2000, 5,000 votes could have made Al Gore President.   Unfortunately because of this kind of fraud, conservative candidates now not only have to win, they have to win with a majority that is outside of the margin of fraud. Otherwise, the Democrat candidate can, and will, steal the election.   Illegals registering to vote in mass numbers can simply overwhelm the system and allow Democrats to steal elections.

Obama is going down in flames.  Real Americans reject socialism.  His only prayer for staying in power is voter fraud.  He needs as many dead people, illegals and fantasy figures voting for him as he can get.

When the GOP takes over in 2013, one of the first things that need to do is reform the 1986 Act so that states, under the 10th Amendment, may work to stop illegal immigration when the Federal Government fails us again.
