MSNBC (amongst others) is reporting that, pretty much as expected, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton has issued an injunction blocking the most heinous and constitutionally bogus provisions of Arizona SB 1070. While this is good news from the perspective of justice, we need to be clear on a few things. First, this is only a temporary injunction until the final court decisions are made.
Secondly, don’t think for a second that this is any sort of blow to the racist crackers who populate the Arizona Republican Party. While the honkey-on-the-street will be understandably upset by this injunction (and the ultimate decision finding that most of this turd fails to pass constitutional muster) the actual players in the AZ GOP are probably jizzing themselves dry at this news. Expect the Arizona airwaves to be saturated in the coming days with campaign advertisements from Brewer, McCain, Hayworth, Arpaio and the rest of these scumbags decrying “Obama” and the rest of the evil Washington insiders for preventing Arizonans from practicing their lilly-white-god-given right to hunt darkies.
As for myself, I do agree with the AZ GOP on one thing. It’s a shame that this state has been invaded by foreigners, we should probably send them back from whence they came.
I am not a racist by any stretch of the word. I supported 1070, but I believe it didn't go far enough, it didn't fix any of the issues that we are facing, but it was a step. Maybe it was a step in the wrong direction, but at step at the least. What we need is something that gives us enforcement rights, or at least forces the government to enforce it's own laws. 1070 may not have been a good step for AZ, but at least someone finally stood up and said we've had enough.
Take it as you will, but we have a problem that needs to be solved. We have enough people with the will to solve it. Why can't we fix this mess?
Piss off.
Less succinctly, you're a tool. Literally a tool of people who are perfectly happy to see your job be sent to Mexico, or China, or India as long as they can eek a tiny bit more profit from the working class. But, you know, keep on being afraid of those darkies tool.

So Blake, what you're essentially saying is “It may have been a step in the wrong direction, but at least it was a step!”
That's, uh, well, stupid. Isn't it the same as saying, “I may have answered all my test questions wrong, but at least i answered them!” Neither helps.

You're right, not sure what I was thinking there. Yay for not re-reading before posting.
