Arizona Governor filed motion to dismiss cases to stop 1070

Statement by Governor Jan Brewer
“This afternoon I filed a motion to dismiss in Frisancho v. Brewer and Salgado v. Brewer, two of the federal cases challenging Arizona’s new immigration law. I have moved to dismiss the plaintiffs’ challenges on the grounds that they lack standing to pursue their claims. The plaintiffs have failed to establish any real and immediate threat of harm and only speculate about future harm that is too attenuated to establish a legal claim under the strict standard in federal court.
“My motion to dismiss also establishes that the plaintiffs’ other substantive claims, including the allegation that federal law preempts certain provisions of Arizona’s immigration law, are equally without merit and reflect a fundamental misunderstanding by the plaintiffs with respect to the language of Arizona’s immigration law in addition to well-established law in this area. For these reasons, I have asked the federal court to dismiss these lawsuits in their entirety.”

Suck on that, Brewer.

considering the polls are saying it is favored by the majority of people, and considering the oil gusher seems to be almost the only topic people are watching closely, I am losing faith that the will to overturn this bill is there anymore. If the courts overturn it that would be great, but I don't think the people care enough anymore, but I sure hope I am wrong.
