may look haitian. we cannot have this kind of thing. by the way, i m a minister, i m not a member of congress. again, we can t have different facts, sir. well, mr. sharpton, let me clarify a couple of things very clear. you really misstated some issues here. first of all, apparently have you read senate bill 1070? yes, i have. nobody takes the time to read it. i ve read it. i would like for you to take the time to tell me what s in it. hang on. none of what you have said is in that bill. so, apparently you haven t read it, just like eric holder and janet napolitano. let me tell you what the bill does. it is the rule of law. it mirrors federal law. secondly, do you understand if congress wanted to preempt the states, they could pass preliminary provision. they ve never done that, never been preempted. also you re contradicting the 58th, 69th, 10 kt district court that says the states have inherent authority to enforce these laws. the united states supreme court in miller fiv
post-enforcement. someone has to say i m aggrieved, i ve been stopped because i ve been racially profiled. the standard is, if this provision is preempted by federal law. if local law enforcement cannot make that kind of determination because it is really a complicated question of federal policy, federal party, federal law, federal judicial decisions then it is preempted. then the only question is how imminent, how likely is it those harms will occur? the truth is they ve already begun to occur. we believe if the law guess into effect next thursday it is inevitable. greta: did the judge give you any hint, nod or any idea when she intends to rule? there s to time limit she can rule in december if she wants. but we are hoping she will rule before next thursday did she give you any idea? she did not. we re with you on that.
have never been preempted. they have no authority to enforce the law as if in the state statute. if congress wanted to preempt states they would use planery powers. absent that, the supremacy laws gives the states right and responsibility. maybe they ought to read the constitution. they don t read their bills but they ought to read the institution. the tenth amendment says if it s not granted the federal government it s i am mild to the states but the government argues this is granted to the federal government through federal immigration policy. absolutely not true. regulation set the terms nor nationalization and immigration policy. they have a right to do that. enforcement is not regulatory. the fifth, 8th, 9th and
lobbyists are seeking to preempt to stop attorney generals from being able to enforce the laws as they did so extremely well over the last eight or ten years. so basically you avoid eliot spitzer from ever doing that again. you would avoid eliot spitzer, andrew cuomo, ag blumenth blumenthal, all of those who steppeded into the vacuum and protected policy-holders, because washington was completely asleep. those very people would be preempted if the lobbyists get this loophole that the white house is concerned about. in the face of millions of jobs lost, deprived pension earnings for years as the fed bails out the banks. underwater homes that people like senator judd gregg and others still refuse to actually address the underlying problem of glass-stegall, the separation of banking, the separation of trading and actual requirements? are they embarrassed because they part, i think there s part embarrassment and part of a lack
securing our borders and the fact that there are vulnerabilities at our various borders for terrorists to come in. would you have wanted them at the same time they gave this testimony on capitol hill to have included a very strong statement about we moved forward in our ability to take you down before it happens? well, look, this was a very gratuitous warning. we had almost a dozen major incidents in the united states preempted or occurred in the last year. this fits into the you got to be kidding sherlock type of analysis that we are somehow going to be hit in the next six months. of course, they are going to try to hit us in the next six months and we need to raise our security and sensible security. i m from a border state of montana. i know that our borders there just like along our southern borders are very are not defended as well as they should be.
