3 Big Civil Rights Groups file a lawsuit on SB1070


The ACLU, NAACP and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund are trying to challenge the infamous Arizona law with a lawsuit.

HuffPo reports:

The American Civil Liberties Union, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund are among the groups that filed the latest challenge in U.S. District Court on behalf of labor unions and others.

County attorneys and sheriffs in Arizona's 15 counties -- but not the state or Gov. Jan Brewer -- were named as defendants.

The Republican governor was included among defendants in at least four earlier lawsuits filed to challenge the law. All the lawsuits were expected to eventually be consolidated for court consideration.

The immigration law takes effect July 29 unless blocked by a court.

Its provisions include a requirement that police enforcing another law question people about their immigration status if there's "reasonable suspicion" of illegal presence in the United States.

This is going to get interesting!

I bet the Hate State of Arizona is going to lose a lot of tourists like me, who don't want to be surrounded by racist lunatics.

Oh darn! Too bad they didn't include that empty-headed cunt in that lawsuit. Maybe, just maybe, she would realize that nobody is playing with her ignorant ass except Sarah Palin's dingy ass.
