Arizona Governor Condemns UN Human Rights Report

[nmbluesky]

PHOENIX — Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state's controversial immigration law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations' human rights commissioner.

The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.

In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is "downright offensive" that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.

"The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to 'review' by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional," Brewer wrote.

2. She didn't see it coming?

She thinks that anything done in the U.S is above reproach. She has a deal with private prisons to house the illegal immigrants she picks up. Funny she hasn't really said too much about those escaped prisoners from one of her private prisons. Two innocent people died....

3. You See Why It's Good for All Governors to Have at Least a College Education

What a mess is Jan Brewer. She hates, and she hates those who hate her hate.

College might have helped.

5. Dear Jan Brewer

You aren't the boss of me.

Love and Light,

My point above? She disregarded Federal Law and Authority and now the Federal Law and Authority has every right to disregard Ms. Brewer and her so-called authority.

6. What's "downright offensive" is the Arizona law itself, not the United Nations' reference to it. nt
