"I don't know ... but I know that if AZPOST gets [itself] together, works on this law, puts down the description, that the law will be enforced civilly, fairly and without discriminatory points to it."
These were the words of Az. Gov. Jan Brewer, when asked “what does an illegal immigrant look like?” After signing into law a bill that allows the police to stop and search anyone who appears to be an illegal immigrant, she proceeds to rely on a privately owned newspaper to provide a state full of police officers with the criteria that will justify the “stop and search”. This is how law is being created in Arizona.
Earlier this week, the United States Supreme Court was presented a case where the University of California Hastings Campus required a Christian group, associated with the Campus, to allow gay students into the group. Hastings contends that association with the campus requires compliance with the “equal access” policies of the campus. The Christian group refused to admit gay students because the students did not share the group’s core beliefs that, evidently, concern sex between two consenting adults. The nation’s High Court must either rule in favour of the Christian Group, which justifies discrimination, or in favour of UC-Hastings, which could foreseeably require a Jewish group to grant admittance to a Nazi. Yet another example of how new millennial law is being made.
In 1970, a comprehensive law was created forbidding the use of certain drugs in the United States. This law opened the door to the present day questionable Constitutional subversion, on which every American must now deliberate. As it was spoken back in 1970, when we allow the state to take any right away from us, we give them permission to take them all.
