They are held accountable by the voters who elected them adn can vote them out of office, but liberal socialist judges are unelected and are held unaccountable. Sounds a like like Big Media, Big Union and the Thug President have their hands in this one. The Socialist Party (fka the Democrat party) needs new "victims" to stay in power..dbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16936986475587812444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-25811208008050439642011-08-29T22:01:50.362-04:002011-08-29T22:01:50.362-04:00POOR REPORTING…..even if it is just a blog.
I wou...POOR REPORTING…..even if it is just a blog.<br /><br />I wouldn’t normally comment on something that is so distant (in Alabama) or so complicated but Mr. Ordoñez’s opening paragraph is flawed. <br /><br />He summarized the AP with the following, “…ruling Monday that she needed more time to decide whether the law opposed by the Obama administration, church leaders and immigrant-rights groups is constitutional.”<br /><br />His source, the AP article, states constitutionality isn’t the consideration, “…Blackburn didn't address whether the law is constitutional, and she could still let all or parts of the law take effect later. Instead, she said she needed more time to consider lawsuits filed by the Justice Department, private groups and individuals that claim the state is overstepping its bounds.”<br /><br />On the specific challenge by religious groups Judge Blackburn said, “This statute in my view does not violate the constitutional rights of the bishops on the grounds you allege,"<br /><br />On other issues she severely question the Alabama Solicitor General about the parts of the new state law that encroached the field of federal jurisdiction. Hardly constitutional; just case law.<br /><br />So, Mr. Ordoñez’s opening paragraph is a poor representation of a very important set of complex issues. <br /><br />I expect better of a wordsmith.<br /><br />Bolyn McClung<br />PinevilleBolynMcClunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02938579006144446381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2628953912605985656.post-78834765427121906292011-08-29T18:37:46.361-04:002011-08-29T18:37:46.361-04:00"Franco Ordoñez writes about immigration (and..."Franco Ordoñez writes about immigration (and Haiti) for the Charlotte Observer."<br /><br />If Franco does in fact write about immigration, why are the vast majority of his blogs about illegal immigration? Are there no interesting stories to write about people who came to this country the legal way? I personally would find those a lot more interesting than the blogs about how our Federal Government is doing their absolute best to NOT enforce the laws of the land on this matter, while at the same time screaming as loud as possible that they are the only ones who have the authority to enforce these laws.<br /><br />And isn't it rather a stretch to state he wrote anything in this blog other than, "Here is the full story from the AP:". Everything else in this blog is simply cut & paste.<br /><br />Mr. Ordonez, I am aware you read the comments on your blog and sometimes do respond to them. So if you decide to respond to mine, please explain why you choose to focus on illegal immigration the vast majority of the time. And please don't ask me to give you ideas or leads on what to write. I don't have anyone telling me how to do my job on a daily basis. And I don't expect to have to tell journalists how to do their job or where to find stories to write about. I come here to read those stories, not write them.One of many American Patriotshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10791751844053593401noreply@blogger.com
