seriously, the ass-bag seems to argue that "as a sovereign state", Arizona should be able to exclude those they don't want to associate with. Does that mean we can get out all the fat-disgusting-ignorant ass-hatted Supreme Court Justices?
Is he really saying that his reasoning is based on the Southern state being able to "exclude" free blacks from their state, as a justification of Arizona's law?
Yes, it appears he does
"Arizona's entire immigration law should be upheld, Scalia wrote, because it is "entitled" to make its own immigration policy. At one point, he cites the fact that Southern states could exclude free blacks from their borders to support the idea that states should be able to set their own immigration policies"
How long will we be required to tolerate this absolute embarrassment to America.
As we say in the Navy; "that guy is a waste of skin".

(15,334 posts)A state like California could exclude right-wing ass-hats like Issa from living among them.
Hey...that sounds like a good option. Let's put it to the test.
Say, I'm the legislature from Oklahoma, and I find a compelling reason to stop every young, white, mail, former military member with a crewcut and a copy of the Turner Diaries, and ask for their "papers".
Following his flawed logic, we could run down quite a few "rabbit-holes". He's nothing but an Ayn Randian ass-pickle who envisions an America where the "elite" wouldn't need to "hob-nob" with the "little people" with the exception of the "hired help".
Fuck Reagan for the harm he's done to this country. The only way to save America is to remove the "fucking stain of the Gipper" from our national fabric, and that's going to take some hard work!

He's an embarrassment to humanity. In a just world, this guy couldn't even qualify for Dog Show Judge.

"...Notwithstanding [t]he myth of an era of unrestricted immigration in the first 100 years of the Republic, the States enacted numerous laws restricting the immigration of certain classes of aliens, including convicted criminals, indigents, persons with contagious diseases, and (in Southern States) freed blacks. Neuman, The Lost Century of American Immigration (17761875), 93 Colum. L. Rev.1833, 1835, 18411880 (1993). State laws not only provided for the removal of unwanted immigrants but also imposed penalties on unlawfully present aliens and those who aided their immigration.2 Id., at 1883. ..."

(15,334 posts)Funny how "states rights" only apply when the states do something to advance "wingnut" power and policy.
Shameless bastards!
