Judicial Watch Wins One In Arizona

posted by on December 6 at 8:30 AM

A week after getting smacked down by a California judge, Judicial Watch—the right-wing group that’s hinted at legal action over the City’s funding of Casa Latina—Casa Latina—is claiming victory in Arizona.

Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon has dropped his support of an immigration policy which would have prevented police from contacting immigration agencies to report suspects they believe to be illegal immigrants.

Gordon, who was re-elected in September, switched his position after Judicial Watch came to town and started pushing for an election recall.

Still no definite word on whether Judicial Watch will file suit against the City of Seattle.

Yet another reason I'm glad I don't live in Phoenix anymore (In-laws and heat are the 2 biggies).

And that fucking Nazi Sheriff Arapaio is another. Considering that he (who, in case you didn't know, is basically a cliche parody of an evil southern lawman who forces prisoners to live in tents in the desert, wear pink underwear, and eat spoiled bologna sandwiches) gets re-elected by large margins, this was a strictly political victory as opposed to a legal one.

As someone once said, if I owned Hell and Phoenix I'd live in Hell and rent out Phoenix....
