Justice Dept Files Suit Against Arizona.

[DuncanONeil]

Semantics apart, the distinction between a colony and a protectorate is such a fine one as to be non-existent

I agree semantics be dammed! The differences are QUITE clear!

Not even Southern states (whose political views are surpassed only by the previous apartheid regime in South Africa) would nowadays be daft enough to specify a particular race when formulating their exclusion laws. But it's not how you word your laws, it's how you apply them.

So here you are taking the position that the authorities have the worst possible reason for deciding that enforcing Federal law is something they should do? That means that you are assuming the outcome of something before it happens. You know what that means, correct?

By the way have you personally read the law??
