Mexico’s “Amicus Curiae” brief accepted by Judge Susan Bolton

By Uncategorized Add comments

Mexico gets to have a say in one of the lawsuits challenging Arizona’s immigration enforcement law.

A US District Court Judge Susan Bolton on Thursday granted Mexico’s request to be allowed to file a legal brief supporting the challenges to Arizona’s draconian and controversial SB-1070. What this means is the Court will consider the amicus curiae brief Mexico submitted previously.

Attorneys for the Republic of Mexico says they want to defend the rights of it’s citizens, both legal and undocumented, and that the law would lead to racial profiling and hinder trade and tourism. It also says the law would hinder work against drug trafficking and related violence.

The law’s provisions include a requirement that police enforcing another law ask people about their immigration status if there’s a “reasonable suspicion” they’re in the country illegally.

The law takes effect July 29 unless blocked by a court. Legal experts expect an injunction to be entered at the hearing on July 15, preventing the law from taking effect.

    Before she became a judge, Susan Bolton unsuccessfully sued New Times over a story she felt should not have been published. Her ruling in the current case is consistent with her scant regard for the First Amendment and the rights of a free press.

    I realize you anti's are all legal whiz's and Constitutional scholars, but pray tell what the amicus curiae brief filed on behalf of the Mexican government has to do with the First Amendment?

    Next, you'll be following Whining Willy Gheen's MO of accusing her of being a traitor and suggesting she be tried for treason.

    Sounds good to me advocate540,
    Better yet, hanging is the answer.
    I was taught in my youth that judges had brains.
    Boy was I mislead.
    This 'judge' is a sham to the judge industry … and should be exiled to Mexico … IMO.

    They're such legal whiz's that at ALIPAC they relate this “Amicus Curiae” brief as [sic] “Mexico law suit with Arizona”! Legal whiz's? They don't even have good reading comprehension skills!

    Federal judge Susan Bolton should be impeached for aiding and
    abetting a foreign government against the American people!!!!!!!

    This is outrageous behavior for a federal judge and is treasonous!!!

    As a U.S. Citizen living along the NM border, my safety is being
    compromized daily!! I can no longer explore or go camping in this
    beautiful part of the country for fear of bodily injury from drug
    smugglers and drug cartels!! I am a tax paying citizen who's safety and
    wellfare are being compromised – while this judge is more concerned
    about the safety of illegal aliens!!!

    Her decision to allow a foreign government a legal brief against the state of AZ is unconscionable and violates the allegiance toward one's country. This is an outright
    betrayal of trust and confidence of the American People and to her oath of office which she represents!!!

    WHAT ABOUT MY RIGHTS TO FEEL SAFE AS A U.S. CITIZEN IN MY OWN
    COUNTRY!!!!

    WAKE UP AMERICA OUR COUNTRY IS BEING TAKEN FROM US!!!!!

    One very concerned, angry and pissed -off U.S. Citizen!!!

    Eric Scott of Las Cruces (a half-hour from El Paso) or Clovis (the New Mexico border with Texas)? Please explain where you are wanting to camp in New Mexico. And how your safety is compromised daily.

    It really amazes me how someone supports a measure without question, but worries if it has to go through the court system…

    What I find unfortunate is these people that claim to stand behind the Constitution and stand for law and order, begin hollering “traitor” and “treason” whenever a decision is made contrary to their beliefs.

    Judge Bolton seems to be a fair and impartial jurist based on some of her other cases.

    These people really need to learn what treason is before throwing it around

    Case in point: http://www.alipac.us/ftopic-204666-days0-ordera...

    A sponsor of a legal immigrant rightly identifies the term as too harsh. ALIPAC “Executive Officer” April thinks that calling Obama and others in his administration “traitors” is too good of word for them. Willy looks for the day “when Congress will investigate them, put them on trial, convict them, and put many of them in prison for the massive amount of murders, rapes, thefts, and degradation our innocent citizens are enduring due to their 'plans'.”…

    They ostracize the husband of a legal immigrant (his wife is from the Ukraine), and throw in a couple digs against Mexicans along the way, but there are a couple of good points and posters…

    I saw that David and you are correct, there are some common sense comments there, which if you know Gheen, does not set well with him. I'm surprised the posters haven't been banned.

    The President is failing to honor his oath of office and the US Constitution and instead is pursuing an agenda supported by elite financial and political interests.

    Since his actions violate the essential principles and requirements of our Republic and since a super majority of Americans oppose what he is doing and the method he is using, we are using the words traitor and treason more often.

    If you take issue with my choice of words representing this organization, then there is the door. Feel free to find yourself an organization that better suits your tastes.

    You may feel that President Obama is not betraying us all, and that is your opinion but it is not an opinion shared by the majority of ALIPAC supporters.

    Obama signaled his fellow conspirators today with the words 'Security and Prosperity' and those of us that have had our hands deeply in this issue for the last five years know exactly who he is speaking for when he says that. He is NOT speaking for the American public. He IS speaking for the Council on Foreign Relations, the US Chamber of Commerce, the big banks, and the cabal seeking to wreck the United States.

    These people are traitors and I envision a day when Congress will investigate them, put them on trial, convict them, and put many of them in prison for the massive amount of murders, rapes, thefts, and degradation our innocent citizens are enduring due to their 'plans'.

    If calling these people that want to usurp the self governance of the American people traitors is too strong or agressive for your tastes, the feel free to join another group or form your own.
