Brewer reacts to "outrageous but not surprising" Federal lawsuit challenging AZ immigration law

[Amerigo Vespucci]

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer refused to flinch after Obama administration officials confirmed Friday that they plan to file a lawsuit challenging the state's anti-illegal immigration law.

In a statement issued late Friday, Brewer called Obama's decision "outrageous" but "not surprising."

"Our federal government should be using its legal resources to fight illegal immigration, not the law-abiding citizens of Arizona," she said.

Meanwhile, Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard said his office plans to withdraw as the state's lawyers in legal challenges to the law, leaving Brewer's attorneys to defend it. Brewer had complained that Goddard's criticism of the measure raised doubts about his ability to defend it.

Brewer said with Goddard out, "I will ensure the immigration laws we passed are vigorously defended all the way to the United States Supreme Court if necessary, where this reasonable law will ultimately be found constitutional."

4. Since this law is trying to circumvent the Civil Law Act

it is illegal and should be taken to court. Does Arizona think they are above federal law.

6. I liked how she got all huffy about how the President of the United States didn't

call her, the Governor of Arizona, to let her know that they were moving forward with the preparations for a lawsuit.

Cause he needs to be calling her about this kind of stuff.

7. Brewer is drunk with POWER.

The game she plays is foolish. She will be a road-bump in the history of American civil rights.
