Balta1701 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Really, justify for me why this judge is an attention hog. She's completely right on the merits of the clauses of the law she suspended; they're not likely to survive judicial review. She was recommended for the position by Senator Kyl. She's an Arizona judge, she didn't exactly request the case, she was the appropriate person to decide the case. Prior to this, none of us had ever heard of her before. Â Basically I can't see any reason why she's an attention hog other than "She ruled in a way I don't like!!!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you care to clarify what you had said, there is no assuming at all. You attribute to a few posters here the attitude of uncaring about the threats simply because we are not loudly denouncing them. So in your words, because we didn't say 'sorry' for what a few assholes did, we bad, too. Is that wrong? If so, please expand upon tour writings.

StrangeSox Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Go back and read your and mr. genius' apologia over the death threats. Maybe it was people that think she didn't go far enough! It doesn't matter anyway because she was an attention whore and people get death threats all the time! It wasn't because of a lack of :dinorage: but because of the statements you made making excuses for it. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanne Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 I think a ton of people don't realize it's just not the Mexicans down here. Arizona is a noted hotbed for entry other people as well...notably terrorists. But the thing that torques people in AZ is all the illegals that receive all the medical benefits and such for free and things such as that. Hell...I had my 1-year old Durango stolen by a 15 year old illegal who rammed it into a pregnant lady trying to get away. I spoke with the Asst. Country Attn. who basically said he wastes so much time with crap like this because they don't do crap to these people. He got placed under house arrest with a relative...and did the same thing 3 months later. They're lucky he didn't kill somebody because his psych profile indicated he had the mental capacity of a 9 year old...and was a drug abuser. Â Hey...I have no problem with Mexicans coming up here and doing the work that lazy-ass Americans won't do...none at all. I had an interesting convo with a guy that runs a convenience store next to my house who is from Lebanon (I think). He said what they do back there is people have to register and can go into say Syria with work permits which are renewed in like a 6 month period. They pay a flat tax to go into another country and work. Makes pretty good sense to me!!! There's ton's of law-abiding illegals here...but there are many more scum that ruins for those people. So before all the bleeding hearts go up in arms about this law...move and live in AZ for a while. And it's just not AZ. Our federal govt hasn't done jack squat. I voted Democrat (unfortunately...actually Hillary)...but tell you what...I'm done with this pansy-ass PC administration! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
