How many Presidents have joined other countries in suing states?? [Reader Post]

Loading

Barack Obama has already sued the state of Arizona.

Claiming “preeminent authority” to write the laws on immigration, the Justice Department filed suit to block Arizona from enacting its own.

“Setting immigration policy and enforcing immigration laws is a national responsibility,” said Attorney General Eric Holder. “Seeking to address the issue through a patchwork of state laws will only create more problems than it solves.”

The challenge, although not unexpected, appeared certain to reignite a searing national debate on immigration and send the midterm election season into fraught new territory.

“The American people must wonder whether the Obama administration is really committed to securing the border when it sues a state that is simply trying to protect its people by enforcing immigration law,” Republican Sens. John McCain and Jon Kyl, both of Arizona, said in a joint statement criticizing the lawsuit.

Mexico joined Obama in suing Arizona

Mexico on Tuesday asked a federal court in Arizona to declare the state’s new immigration law unconstitutional, arguing that the country’s own interests and its citizens’ rights are at stake.

Lawyers for Mexico on Tuesday submitted a legal brief in support of one of five lawsuits challenging the law. The law will take effect July 29 unless implementation is blocked by a court.

Not only did Obama sue Arizona, he turned Arizona over to the UN

There can be few sights more humiliating for the American people than that of a US president kowtowing to a foreign leader or to supranational institutions. Continental Europeans are used to this sort of thing after decades of dominance by unelected bureaucrats in Brussels, and have grudgingly accepted over time the gradual and undemocratic erosion of their freedoms. But most Americans fiercely defend their national sovereignty, and find the idea of giving international organisations a say over their laws and lives completely unacceptable.

Now Obama’s policy of suing states in America has become a truly international movement.

16 Countries Side with Justice Department in Lawsuit Against Alabama

Sixteen countries, including Mexico, have filed briefs supporting the Department of Justice’s lawsuit against Alabama’s recently passed immigration enforcement law. In June, the Alabama legislature passed a bill that many believe is tougher than Arizona’s SB1070 bill that also drew a lawsuit from federal prosecutors last year. According to the attorney who filed the briefs, the 16 countries “want one immigration law and not 50.”

In addition to the Justice Department, the Roman Catholic Church, ACLU, and National Immigration Law Center have all filed suits against the state.

“Mexico has an interest in protecting its citizens and ensuring that their ethnicity is not used as basis for state-sanctioned acts of bias and discrimination,” the brief filed by the 16 countries said.

Mexico doesn’t even border Georgia. What’s next? Will Mexico sue any state that insists on a driver’s license or other ID?

What other American President has joined other countries in suing his own states? WTF?

Please tell me again how Obama is not anti-American.

I don’t buy it.

The average US voting citizen is a schmuck.

The fact Obama wouldn’t hold his hand over his heart for the National Anthem is proof enough that the average voter is a retard.

Thank you for posting that picture, again.

I am a voter and I think that I am smart enough to spot a phony when I see him and O was the biggest of them all…..

@IVAN – You say “The average US voting citizen is a schmuck.” I agree but, I could think of more non-politically correct words to describe the average US (citizen) voter… I cannot even say it is sad because it is so very pathetic…

I’d be embarrassed to even be advertising I voted for Obumbles… Come to think of it, I really don’t see too many Bumper Stickers announcing “Obama 2008” and “Hopey Changey” anymore … I used to see them all over… Hmmm… I wonder if those Schmucky ‘Obama Supporter’s’ scraped the Hopey Changey bumper stickers off their bumpers out of sheer embarrassment?

I keep praying we come to our senses and get Obumbles out in 2012… I cannot phantom another four years of this for my Country and Fellow Patriots…..

@FAITH7: Odd you mention about the lack of old bumper stickers.
I have noticed that, too.
Oddly, the Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers stayed on cars until Edwards got in so much trouble, like early this year.
In fact the Gore/Lieberman bumper stickers stayed on many years, too.

Nothing surprises me as far as what this guy will do. I honestly believe he was chosen to destroy America, and I don’t mean chosen by the American people but the ‘higher powers that be’. Let’s face it, Hillary ran a campaign just as insipid as McCain did – on purpose.

This is just as odious as his EO 13575 where he grabbed 16% of the country and handed it to the UN Agenda 21.

If America was lucky, we’d elect a new president who would go after BO for high treason. I doubt the current Congress has enough guts to do what needs to be done.

Dr John, another pure gold article. Thanks for all your work keeping us informed as to what the Usurper in Chief is up to.

McCain is now a defender of immigration laws? I am sorry, but he is another RINO I completely ignore. But, I do agree that Holder and the rest of the administration are doing everything they can to completely rip apart the fabric of our country’s foundation.

Our next president must call Mexico on it’s blatant interference in our internal politics and policies. If it were me, I would send the Mexican Ambassador home with a message to Mexico saying stay our of country’s politics (just like Mexico tells the US.) and then order the Army to seal the border against a clear and present danger to the US.

@FAITH7:
I have actually seen two vehicles that have obama2012 on it. I have gotten my car into position to be able to see the type of person that would vote for him. – and oh BTW, the occupants in both cars were white.

You don’t see Obama stickers on cars anymore because those were the cars that were crushed during the Cash for Clunkers deal. Sad, isn’t it that we have a president who not only shows contempt for our country, but is enticing foreign leaders to join in. I am appalled.

@FAITH7: With regards to the bumper stickers, you must not live in Illinois.

@another vet:

Living within a few short miles of Illinois is enough for me right now. Not only do we in Indiana get the people coming to shop here, but a large percentage of contractor personnel(union members) at my work still favor Obama. Disgusting that the state I was born in has been reduced to the nearest thing to Communism found within our states. Even if I was given a house and easy, well-paid job in Illinois, I wouldn’t move back there. Not until Chicago floats out into Lake Michigan and sinks.

@johngalt: @johngalt: All of my family is here and this is where I grew up so I’ll stay but am actively considering making a move to perhaps get a second place in Arizona or some state that actually has a clue as to what it is doing. The people here are becoming more ignorant by the day. Wave someone into traffic and they won’t even acknowledge it. They think you owe it to them but that’s the mentality here. It’s funny you mention the union types. A buddy of mine used to be fairly conservative and would make sense when discussing issues until he got into a union. After that he began to not make any sense and would always be parroting their talking points. Now he is out of work but that’s what happens when unions charge $150 or whatever it is to plug a light bulb in at McCormick Place. People end up taking their conventions elsewhere.

I still see obama stickers here in AZ. 98% of them are on vehicles driven by women. Nothing like advertising your stupidity.

@just me 95:

This is just as odious as his EO 13575 where he grabbed 16% of the country and handed it to the UN Agenda 21.

While I agree with you about Obanana and many of his treasonous acts, I don’t see how this one is one of them. No where in EO 13575 can I find any reference to the UN. In short, the EO states:

Sixteen percent of the American population lives in rural counties. Strong, sustainable rural communities are essential to winning the future and ensuring American competitiveness in the years ahead. These communities supply our food, fiber, and energy, safeguard our natural resources, and are essential in the development of science and innovation. Though rural communities face numerous challenges, they also present enormous economic potential. The Federal Government has an important role to play in order to expand access to the capital necessary for economic growth, promote innovation, improve access to health care and education, and expand outdoor recreational activities on public lands.

While I disagree with this completely and have doubts to his authority to do this, I don’t see where he has taken 16% of America and handed it over to a non American organization. Please point out where I missed it … or maybe you were thinking of something else?

As Newt Gingrich said, “I don’t want to bloody his nose, I want to knock him out!” We can’t do that if the other side is able to prove our statements as inaccurate and accuse us of inciting fear. I only bring this up so we keep each other completely honest and therefore unbeatable! Let’s knock him out!

@johngalt:

Not until Chicago floats out into Lake Michigan and sinks.

And all politicians from there are in the city as it floats out and sinks!

@MCA:

Strong, sustainable rural communities

See what you originally quoted, MCA, that I re-quoted?

That is Agenda 21. ‘Sustainable’ anything is a concept devised by UN lackeys and first appeared and defined in the UN’s Brundtland Report aka ‘Our Common Future’.
Gro Brundtland is the daughter of a Marxist and she is well versed in all thing Marx/communism. She defined ‘sustainable development’ using article 18 of the 1977 USSR constitution.
Our Common Future also outlined and introduced ‘multiculturalism’, but that’s another issue.
Agenda 21 is the action plan to implement ‘sustainable’ everything.
BTW, I didn’t say Obama handed over 16% of the country to the UN – I said he handed it over to the UN’s Agenda 21 meaning that his EO is the implementation of Agenda 21. Sorry if I was unclear on that.
Anyway, I gave you a short history lesson, now it’s up to you to research and do your own homework.
