Slow Saturday Special: Clinton Inebriated in Ecuador

Had to be.

Otherwise, why would she spill the beans?

You know how people get after a few nips.

"Obama will fight Arizona over law; Thrusts US into immigration case" by Randal C. Archibold and Mark Landler, New York Times | June 19, 2010

The Obama administration has decided to file suit to strike down an Arizona law aimed at deporting illegal immigrants, thrusting itself into the fierce national debate over how the United States should enforce immigration policies.

The Arizona law is simply an adoption of the federal law so the net result is abdication of the prime responsibilities of the federal government.

And I thought Obomber's AmeriKa was going to be better than Bush's.


The federal government only occasionally intervenes forcefully in a state’s affairs, and it carries significant political risks.

Yeah, sometimes they even occupy the place after an invasion.


With immigration continuing to be a hot-button issue in political campaigns....

Only because the divisive, agenda-pushing MSM is making it one.


The lawsuit, though widely anticipated, was confirmed by an unexpected source: Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who answered a question about it from an Ecuadoran television journalist in an interview June 8 that went all but unnoticed until this week.

Noting that President Obama had publicly objected to the law, Clinton said, “The Justice Department, under his direction, will be bringing a lawsuit against the act.’’

A spokesman for the Justice Department said the matter was still under review, but other senior administration officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a decision had indeed been made and only the details of the legal filing were still being worked out.

These officials said several government agencies were being consulted over the best approach to block the statute....

A State Department spokesman, Philip J. Crowley, said Clinton’s comments, made during a visit to Ecuador’s capital, Quito, were meant to answer deep qualms about the law in Mexico and other Latin American countries.

“It is important to recognize that this has resonated significantly beyond our borders,’’ Crowley said.

It is all about the New World Order is what he is saying.
