Supremacy Clause will sink AZ on this case. Arizona is subordinate to the Federal Government, all states are. Arizona can't go just do illegal things just because it feels like it.

I don't know why Republicans want to act like they aren't American all of the sudden, but they're Arizonian or Texan or whateverfirst and foremost.

Its against AZ law, as well as against fed law,to rob a bank in AZ. Just like every other state has a law against bank robbery. Same bank, same robbery, dual enforcement, state and fed. When will Obama and Holder be filing 50 more lawsuits demanding injunction against state bank robbery laws?

As to your second point: This nation was formed as a republic of independent states under a constitutionally limited federal government. State governments formed the federal govt, not the other way around. The states are not subdivisions of the federal government.

My two cents is that I don't know if Arizona will lose, but I can't blame them for doing a job that the federal government has refused to for decades. Arizona has asked several times for the federal government to do its job and they have refused, so Arizona is going to do its on its own to protect its interests. When you have only 4 states that border Mexic out of 50, i think it is too easy for the other 46 to ignore problems related to their location.

people say that "God has a plan for their lives"? I'm watching a drew brees interview and he gave this as the reason why he was able to cope with all the adversity he faced. I understand that it is a true belief for most people, but I cannot help but feel like it must be convenient to have "God's plan for your life" when you are well off and oozing with talent. Almighty and omnipotent God has a destiny for Drew Brees to achieve in football, but apparantly not for the 6 million children under 5 who die each year of hunger.

Please don't see this as an attack on Drew Brees as I believe he is a great guy who has and does do a lot of good for his community, it is just that statement that grates on my nerves when people use it.

BAMBOOZLED. "I went to to the supermarket today and was bamboozled by a portugese rope salesman selling magical peanuts!"

I would agree that Nas is one the most consistant rappers lyrically.

I don't like the supreme court justices. The ruling that corporations can now give as much money as they want to any politician without tax or documentation kinda sways me in Obama"s favor for this one.Buriz

[QUOTE="Plzhelpmelearn"][QUOTE="entropyecho"]I never fully understood this argument. I understand 20-somethings are struggling with payments, but if they do not have a safety net in place for their health and they get sick, it will be a lot more money out of their pocket. :?

haha yeah I hear opinions don't change much around here. I guess when I first heard about the healthcare overhaul, I was uninsured and making next to nothing so I only saw it as another expense that a healthy 20 yr old like myself would have forced on me. I now have a better job that offers insurance that I have opted for (because I do realize I'm only one accident away from complete financial ruin) i still can empathize with other young guys who make next to nothing with no insurance, but as long as there are means to help them I can't say I have a problem with it really.

[QUOTE="Plzhelpmelearn"]...but is it fair to force 20 somethings who are struggling to make ends meet to pay additional costs in health insurance that they don't need at the moment? entropyecho

Separation of Power good sir. It's their job to challenge the president. I commend them for them for doing what they were created to do. ferrari2001
