Finally Some Republican Sanity! Jan Brewer VETOES Birther Bill!

Jan Brewer, in a rare moment of lucidity, VETOED the Birther Bill! When vetoing the bill, she wrote to the Speaker of the AZ House of Representatives:

Dear Speaker Adams,
Today, I vetoed House Bill 2177. HB2177 empower the Arizona Sec of State to judge the qualifications of every federal, state & local candidate at the time of filing..I do NOT support designating one person as the gatekeeper to the ballot for a candidate, which could lead to arbitrary or politically-motivated decisions. In addition, I never imagined being presented wit a bill that could require candidates for President of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their "early baptismal or circumcision certificates" among other records to the Arizona Sec of sTate. This is A BRIDGE TOO FAR!
This measure creates significant new problems while failing to do anything constructive for Arizona.
Sincerely
Janice K. Brewer
Governor

Thank you Governor Brewer. John McCain congratulated you. You stand with other Republicans including Karl Rove, Tim Pawlenty and others who have refuted the insane Birther perspective. We stand with you in ridiculing Donald Trump, Orly Taitz and any other Birther that disrespects our President! Hopefuly you will keep up this level of sanity and rescind racial profiling bills like sb1070.

Jan Brewer saw the writing in the wall ...

She will be despised by Republicans when they finally understand that the Supreme Court is not going to pass this monster.

If the Supreme Court approves this garbage of SB 1070 then it is preparing the Federal Government and the Presidency to be continually challenged in many matters by Rogue States of the Union.

Isn't the United States involved in three wars in Muslim Nations ??

Do People want internal conflicts ??, endless judicial discussion ??, rogue or scoundrel states forever contradicting the intentions of the President ??, the Federal Government and the U. S. Congress ??

This is a Juridical, Constitutional and Legal matter.

But has very grave political implications for the future.

It is more than Mexican Laborers working for a pittance and a few crumbs of bread. It is about leadership of the presidency and congress. It is about the future in many matters not pertaining to Immigration.
