Federal Judge Rules In Obama Regime’s Favor, Blocks Alabama Immigration Law From Taking Effect…
Weak.
(Politico) — Alabama’s tough new immigration law on Monday was temporarily put on hold by a federal judge.
Alabama’s toughest in the nation crackdown had originally been set to take effect Sept. 1, but had come under fire from several groups that filed lawsuits against the measure. Last week, U.S. District Judge Sharon Blackburn heard motions to block the contentious legislation, but did not issue a ruling.
According to the court order, the temporary hold was issued to give Blackburn additional time to address the challenges to the law. The hold will remain in effect until Sept. 29 at the latest, or until the court issues a ruling on the motions to block the law.
According to the temporary order, this move in no way addresses the merits of the motions or offers a reflection on a potential decision.
The order stated that Blackburn will issue detailed comments on the injunction motions no later than Sept. 28.
Multiple lawsuits — filed by the Obama administration, bishops from Alabama’s Catholic, United Methodist and Episcopal churches and civil rights groups including the Southern Poverty Law Center and the American Civil Liberties Union — were consolidated for the motions seeking a preliminary injunction against the measure.
The law is considered even tougher and more restrictive than Arizona’s and has several key features to deter illegal immigration, including allowing police officers to arrest anyone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant during a routine traffic stop, making it a crime to transport or rent to an illegal immigrant, and requiring schools to report the status of students.

Alabama and Arizona and Texas should start making noises about secession. Give Barry and his Marxist friends a swift kick in the ass that will bring them to their knees. This crap has to end.
“Multiple lawsuits…..”
———-
How many complainants are residents of that state, and could actually be affected by the law? (How were they personally ‘damaged’ by the law?)
.
“…..bishops from Alabama’s Catholic, United Methodist and Episcopal churches and civil rights groups…”
———
All of which should lose their tax exempt status, now that they are engaging in political matters.

@ironmaiden – I think we should just convince Washington DC to secede. The rest of us are just fine together.
Holder has a striking resemblance to Heinrich Himmler, doesn’t he?

************************
Lots of noise is only LOUD… Forget noise… Git er done… The Republic of Texas is fine with me and I have always heard that the Confederacy WILL return…
Might be a good time for that to happen too!
Maybe the bitch judge will consider American families that have been murdered,maimed and robbed by these maggots………naa,probably not
These two are not the biggest losers in America, but they’ll do.
Just another illegal lovin judge who will most likely allow law breaking illegals to continue with their lawless ways. What is the problem? The Feds claim they hold jurisdiction over immigration, yet will not enforce the laws and allow millions to enter illegally (and now remain here) and create babies that taxpayers must then support. What are states to do that get stuck paying for these criminals? Why have laws if they won’t be enforced? If the churches are so against this, they can pay for the illegals. They should not even be involved in the first place. Deport all illegals !
F*ck you and that ugly horse faced scrunt you rode in on barry
A tidal wave of resentment is going to wash over the Progressive ideology after 2012.
Every one of their pet programs will go up on the chopping block. The new president will used his newly acquired magic wand, The Executive Order, to nullify five decades worth of “social safety net”.
The lesson: If you’re going to lose anyway, you shouldn’t piss everyone off before you leave. They opposition might decide to use the national anger to their own advantage. They might destroy everything that Progressives have built over the last century.

Eric Holder looks like the meerkat in The Lion King.
Hakuna matata!
So, in other words, the 10th Amendment within the Bill of Rights has been declared null and void.
Cute.
Lots of good comments here.
gastorgrab hit one of the nails on the head at 3:39. As soon as ANY church speaks out politically, immediately deny them tax-exempt status.
“…and civil rights groups…” That’s the thing that pisses me off…..what about the rights on tax paying, hard working, citizens, who are sick of this shit. Who’s out their protecting MY rights and fellow WZ member’s rights?
My rights are violated daily. Maybe I should start an origanization to shout out for us good ol’ boys (and girls) who live life by the law instead of against it….hmmmm, I could call it SPONGE…
Society for the Provention Of NonAmericans Getting Everything.
GOOD!
Now Holder and the DOJ can put their full attention into burning down Gibson Guitars… THERE’S a real threat, ya know.
A imperial pig in a long black robe Time for the imperial pig judges to face removal and Obama as well
Just an observation, but why do Demokkkrats look like animal species?
Barney Frank looks like a rabbit on methamphetamine.
Holder looks like a ferret in heat.
Then there’s the wookie.
John Kerry looks like Seabiscuit.
Henry Waxman looks like a pig who got his snout stuck in a vacuum cleaner hose.
Obama looks like a fraud usurper.
Maybe all Holder needs is a chin implant, plus both he and Obama need brain implants, they got the ones from the jars that read “Abby-Normal” last time.
i guess since we have a president with two illegal relatives in the country braking the laws of a country of laws you can’t expect breaking the immigration laws enforced
Good, now Holder can get back to the good work of destroying Gibson Guitars, evil terrorists that they are.
Alabama: Tell the Judge to fuck off, eat shit and die. Just do what you have to do.
What is the judge going to do? Send in some jack booted SWAT teams and
arrest Alabama law enforcement officers? Bring it on you federal assholes.
Ever wonder why there’s nary a peep about “separation of church and state” when The Episcopal Church, United Methodists, and Catholics join a lawsuit with the Southern Poverty Law Center and the ACLU against Alabama?
You beat me to it Maggie. He’s going to do it without even having a crime against them, they’ll just confiscate raw materials and force them to try to get it back in court, of course that will cost a fortune in legal costs in these trying times.
Imagine Gibson going away because of this? They made a point of keeping the work in the USA, unlike Fender who have plants in Japan and Mexico. I guess that that’s the good way to do it if you want Obama and Holder to like you: either hire illegals or export the jobs.
EARTH TO THE MSM: OBAMA IS ANTI JOBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Xerocky
And yet, the music world will continue to support these thugs … even as the threat of confiscating their existing properties of beloved Gibson Guitars is tangled in with this…
BTW, MANY of said musicians have designed and/or had Gibson Guitars made and named for them …
Time they stepped up and said something … loud.
The Judge was appointed by Bush I in 1991. She was in law enforcement before taking the bench. It isn’t unusual for judges to keep a restraint on controversial laws while they research complex legal issues; a stay doesn’t mean she will definitely rule against Alabama. So keep praying and keep hope alive.
“Time they stepped up and said something … loud.”
Calling Alex Lifeson
Legislation needs to be passed that revokes the tax exempt status of any non profit that gets involved with politics be it be it policy or example.
It’s time to crack down on the enemies of this nation and their actions to dismantle what originally made us great.
Time for all 50 states to suceed from WASHINGTON D.C.(DISTRICT of CRINIMALS)and tell that judge to GO POUND SAND
