5. you are right it wasnt the popular thing to do
most polls show people support the az law and oppose the doj

although im pretty sure most people dont understand it or its consequences for american citizens and legal immigrants

20. Agreed. Will he side with Don Siegelman or continue to protect kkkarl et al?
Right on this one but wrong on others.

6. Yes, they got this one right. I'm glad to see that.

This law would have left 1/3 of the citizens of AZ subject to unnecessary police contact.

it would be open season for harrassing brown people

immigrants are mistreated.

14. That or people who believe that doing one action as part of one's job title isn't something to gush
over.

:shrug:

When he investigates the BFEE, no matter the outcome, I'll come back and eat crow. Until then, broad-brushing people who aren't impressed by someone doing their job as racists is ridiculous.

17. It does not imply that a repug AG would have done the same
It implies that, oh, as I said, it's part of their job title. I certainly never thought of appreciating Gonzales, Ashcroft, or any other Bush AG.

It also implies that you're not interested in intelligent debate.
