Smackdown for Arizona Senator Russell Pearce - 9th Circuit bars friend of Neo-Nazis from SB-1070 arguments

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected arguments by nativist Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, that he has a “unique perspective” on SB 1070. Pearce, through his attorneys, said he wants a chance to convince the appellate judges that all provisions of the law are legal. Pearce wants to try to convince the appellate court that U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton, whom he calls “an activist judge looking for an appointment to the 9th Circuit,” was wrong when she enjoined the state from enforcing most of the key provisions of the draconian law. Pearce also said there is evidence that Gov. Jan Brewer, who is defending the law, does not share his belief that the statute, as enacted and in MORE

Lawyers for Minuteman Shawna Forde file motions to exclude "prejudicial evidence"

Eric Larsen, attorney for Minuteman and accused child killer Shawna Forde was back in court last week with another handful of motions, this time, trying to preclude the statements of two Colorado Minutemen and FBI informants from being used in her January 2011 trial. The still unidentified Minutemen told the FBI that Forde met with them in Colorado a couple of months prior to the murders in Arivaca to discuss her plans and need for the proceeds to fund her border vigilante Minuteman group. Forde tried to recruit the two to help her, but fortunately for them, they refused and contacted authorities. Larsen, in filing his motion, said the men’s statements should be precluded for the following reasons:

Is Sheriff Joe Arpaio's reign about to come to an abrupt end?

It seems Sheriff Joe, the flaccid gendarme of Maricopa County Arizona is getting the publicity he crave in a manner he detests, and many hope this is the opening salvo to Arpaio’s demise. If it doesn’t put him in his own tent city, at least the hope is that it will scuttle any chance of this bigot being reelected Sheriff in 2012, and will dash the hopes of all the little bigots who cream their jeans at the thought of ARPAIO for President in 2012. What’s up? We’re getting a glimpse into the inner workings of Sheriff Joe’s 19th floor sanctum from letters and reports including the 63-page memo from MCSO Deputy Chief Frank Munnell. Here’s the dirt: Joe Arpaio’s MORE

Federal Appeals Court blocks Hazleton Pa anti immigrant law

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia, ruled  Thursday that Hazleton, Pa., may not enforce its Illegal Immigration Relief Act because it usurps the federal governments exclusive power to regulate immigration. 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Chief Judge Theodore McKee wrote: “It is … not our job to sit in judgment of whether state and local frustration about federal immigration policy is warranted. We are, however, required to intervene when states and localities directly undermine the federal objectives embodied in statutes enacted by Congress….” This is the second strike for this contentious ordinance that has never been enforced because of court challenges. Hazleton Mayor Lou Barletta, vows to challenge the law, written by Chris Korbach, author of MORE

Justice McQuire continued “in full force”, the protective order granted to the estranged wife of Minuteman Civil Defense Corps founder and President Chris Simcox. “The court finds that conflicting testimony has been presented on every allegation and the court must make a determination of credibility. Defendant has a prior conviction involving dishonesty,” wrote Commissioner McQuire.

Appointed Governor Jan "La Bruja" Brewer retracts "beheading" claim, well, sort of.

After mumbling and stumbling and walking away from reporters questions about her claims of beheadings in Arizona by drug cartels, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has admitted, that maybe, she was wrong. “That was an error, if I said that,” the appointed Governor told The Associated Press and others on Friday. “I misspoke, but you know, let me be clear, I am concerned about the border region because it continues to be reported in Mexico that there’s a lot of violence going on and we don’t want that going into Arizona.

In a debate last night with Democratic challenger Terry Goddard, Gov. Jan Brewer was once again asked about the “beheadings” she claims have been happening in Arizona. It’s interesting her reaction. She knows she’s been caught in one of many of her lies and her facial expression, and what happens afterwards, is especially telling. She wants to “move forward”! Stephen Lemmons of the Phoenix New Times puts it in his special perspective.

Nativist nutcase Barbara Coe Calls for the Deportation of Muslims, says Muslims Train Mexican Drug Cartels

California Coalition for Immigration Reform head Barbara Coe has been on a non-Mexican racist run as of late. We talked about the revelation earlier this week that she told a Los Angeles Times reporter, “Go home, chink” nearly 20 years ago; now, in various rantings against Muslims, the godmother of the modern-day Know Nothing movement is calling for the deportation of Muslims from the United States, whether they’re American citizens or not, and alleging Muslims are teaching Mexican drug cartels how to kill.

Possible defense strategies revealed for Minuteman Shawna Forde's Trial

Before Forde defense attorney Eric Larsen left on vacation, he filed some documents in Pima County Superior Court outlining his defense strategy in the upcoming trial of Minuteman Shawna Forde, accused mastermind in the murder of 9 year old Brisenia Flores and her father Raul. This move was required under the Arizona Rules of Criminal Procedure. The prosecutions theory is that Forde needed money for her little border vigilante group, MINUTEMAN AMERICAN DEFENSE, so she enlisted the aid of Jason Bush and Albert Gaxiola to rip off Raul “Jr.” Flores, a purported drug dealer. Forde discussed this with others who are expected to testify for the prosecution, including two Colorado Minutemen and the star of the show, Oin Oakstar, who MORE
