With all due respect to Cornell Clinical Law Professor and conservative blogger William Jacobson whom I like and read and link I think he is flat out wrong. I am also a tad disturbed that Instapundit that perhaps is the most widely read by blog by a lawyer seems all not too concerned. Yes I know he is not a big immigration reform guy but still!!
Mirrors of Justice has a good short post on this at Arizona Immigration Law. Now what is disturbing about all this among other things is the whole Citizens Law Suit angle for those State Govt agencies that are not doing their "job". My friends if you can't see the disaster that is coming out of that then you are blind.
Do people want to go down that road. I know that sounds GREAT !! Hell yes we can sue the Police if they don't arrest those maybe illegals down the street but are people really really thinking this through? It sounds like a perfect prescription for MOB rule!! What else shall we sue the police for and other agencies for non executing the law. A good part of police work is needed discretion in making certain calls. That seems to be flying out the window.
Why stop at illegals? Why not expand it to all crimes. What is the justification not to do that. It seems in close cases the budget strapped police office might decide with a spat between you and your neighbor where is conflicting stories he might as well just take you down to the police station so they go get sued.
This seems like a disaster.
