Arizona plans to coutersue the US Government
Arizona plans to sue on five different counts, including a claim that the federal government has failed to enforce immigration laws enacted by Congress and a claim it has failed to reimburse the state for costs associated with jailing criminal immigrants.

In reading some of the comments posted about this article, it shocks me to see how many people are calling the AZ. Gov. a racist and a Nazi for her actions. How is it that these people, as well as part of our government, doesn't seem to know the difference between legal and illegal?
I can't understand how any American citizen can say that Jan Brewer is wrong for trying to get our government to uphold Federal law.
If your reading this, and feel what Jan Brewer is doing is wrong, then please take a minute and explain to me your reasons, because I can't honestly see what the 49 other states don't stand up and follow suit with Arizona...

Gabrielle Giffords
I know we've all heard about Arizona Rep. Gabrielle Giffords getting shot yeaterday. Latest reports say 5 or 6 people were killed, including a 9-year old child, and 10 to 12 others injured, these number vary depending one where you look for the information, go figure.
Although the gunman has been captured, reports are now saying that there is another person of interest the authorities are currently looking for.
I am very interested in what kind, or seemingly lack of, security there was at this event yesterday. It just seems hard to believe that a lone gunman with a Glock 9mm was able to kill and injure so many people before he was taken down. Either this guy was an excellent shot, had an extended round magazine, or security was just so laxed that he was able to fire off an entire magazine and load another one and get off a few more shots before anyone was able to do anything about it. It will be very interesting to hear the final story on this.
The entire deal is a tragedy no matter how you look at it.
