According to Fareed Zakaria of Newsweek, we have indeed.
After reading his article, I would have to say that I agree. Read it, a lot of good information there that we never got from anywhere else.
UPDATE: Apparently, Ted Koppel doesn’t get it. Being American, that is.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio now has until 9/10 to comply with a Justice Department request to explain his office’s “operations, policies and procedures” involving the arrest and detention of Hispanics, according to a letter obtained by ABC News.
Gee, sounds to me like the DOJ is putting words into the Sheriff’s mouth – trying to make it seem as though there is profiling, discrimination, bias going on.
Yet, the DOJ doesn’t seem to say anything about the violence and murders being perpetrated by the Mexican drug cartel members that have come across our southern border to perform their crimes on our citizens.
Unbelievable.
UPDATE: Here comes the lawsuit. Seems DOJ is claiming the following: alleged discrimination, unconstitutional searches and seizures, and having English-only policies in his jails that discriminate against people with limited English skills.
Cretins.
UPDATEx2: Apparently as a result of a Freedom of Information Act submission, ICE had cleared Sheriff Arpaio of any wrongdoing 5 months prior to the DOJ filing court papers against the Sheriff in 2010. Meaning, ICE investigated him in 2009 and now the DOJ is suing (in 2010) on those exact same charges back in 2009. Sheesh.

Our nation, predominantly the southern part bordering Mexico, is in very serious trouble.
Our citizens and law enforcement are also in very serious trouble.
Property theft, damage, assault, death – all from people that don’t belong here.
And now, our national level politicians are in very serious trouble.
Because, for NOT doing their jobs (the U.S. Constitution says they should be doing) they will be out of a job come January 2011.
Make it so, voters. Vote against incumbents.

But it is not Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
This man is doing the job the entire Federal Government refuses to do.
He has a price on his head per the Mexican drug cartel.
And now the DOJ is going to sue him.
I mentioned this to Sean & Frank on WCBM one morning not too long ago. That the guvmint was also sending a message to the county sheriffs that participate in the 287G ICE program. Besides sending that message to Arizona’s Governor about their newly crafted SB 1070.
(I had no idea I was so prophetic at the time.)
The Administration’s message? “Don’t bother the illegals.”
Well, come November 2, 2010, we aren’t going to bother re-electing any incumbents.
We need to divide the government, folks. Single party control is not good for us.

Even for a watered down bill (SB 1070) going into effect, the Mexican drug cartel seems to be feeling its oats.
This won’t end well.

Are the Dems trying to placate us by giving up two of their own?
My answer:
Not if the POTUS gets his way.
Some insightful comments about what may be the future of SB 1070 after court proceedings by Professor Jacobson. Smart guy.
Still, from what I read from this, it doesn’t solve the financial hit(s) we suffer from this situation.

“How is there a preemption issue?” the judge asked. “I understand there may be other issues, but you’re arguing preemption. Where is the preemption if everybody who is arrested for some [edit:other] crime has their immigration status checked?”
I couldn’t agree more.
“Why can’t Arizona be as inhospitable as they wish to people who have entered or remained in the United States?” U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton asked in a pointed exchange with Deputy Solicitor General Edwin S. Kneedler. Her comment came during a rare federal court hearing in the Justice Department’s lawsuit against Arizona and Gov. Jan Brewer (R).

Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Donald Berwick has no fear of discussing rationing of our medical care.
Congress hasn’t vetted him. He was appointed by Executive Order.
Remember? Got your attention?
Be healthy. Otherwise, …….. you have no right to life. According to some.
Oh, and then there’s this – thanks to The Professor. Healthcare, aka Obamacare, is indeed a tax and you cannot keep your doctor.
Healthcare choices are going away.
However, we will have a lot of choices at the ballot box.
Choose wisely.
