Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor stirred up a hornet's nest by endorsing a demand from the Hispanic Bar Association to censor words and phrases such as "illegal aliens" and "illegal immigrants" and substitute "foreign nationals" in court documents.

Then, when a blog at Judicial Watch reported on the instructions, court officials threatened to sue the government-watchdog organization, prompting its release of a statement defending the story.

The original report said the chief justice had agreed to forward to judges the Hispanic Bar's demands to alter the language in court opinions and documents.

Judicial Watch said, "In a strongly worded letter to the chief justice, Los Abogados' [Hispanic Bar Association] president says attaching an illegal status to a person establishes a brand of contemptibility, creates the appearance of anti-immigrant prejudice and tarnishes the image of courts as a place where disputes may be fairly resolved."


The letter, according to Judicial Watch, criticized the state's high court for using the term "illegals" in at least two opinions and the term "illegal aliens" in dozens of others.

Judicial Watch said the letter concludes with a list of acceptable and unacceptable terms relating to illegal immigration. Among the terms the group wants banned are "immigration crisis,' "immigration epidemic,' "open borders advocates", "anchor babies" and "invaders."

Acceptable terms are "foreign nationals," "unauthorized workers" and "human rights advocates," Judicial Watch said.

The report almost immediately was followed with a response from the court, Judicial Watch reported.

"The Arizona Supreme Court has threatened to sue Judicial Watch for revealing that its chief justice agreed to enforce a Hispanic Bar Association demand to ban the terms 'illegal' and 'aliens' in all of the state’s courtrooms," the organization said in a statement late today.

"In a threatening phone call to Judicial Watch today, a spokesperson for Arizona's Supreme Court denied that Chief Justice McGregor had banned anything and accused Judicial Watch of 'slander.' Judicial Watch, however, stands by its story," the organization said.

The letter, to which Judicial Watch provided a link, said McGregor took several steps to notify judges of the concerns raised by the bar association.

She confirmed she had provided copies of the demands to judges and concluded, "If Judge Song Ong has not already done so, I request that the Commission on Minorities in the Judiciary consider whether any further distribution of your request would be helpful."

The request from the Hispanic Bar Association, signed by Los Abogados President Lizzette Alameda Zubey and president-elect Salvador Ongaro, said it wanted McGregor to communicate "these points to all judges and court employees in Arizona so that none of these hurtful terms are used in Arizona court documents or proceedings again.

"Putting this in greater perspective, even a convicted murderer is never referred to as an 'illegal' because of that conviction," the bar association letter said.

"Those that use the terms as an instrument of hate know that it insults and incenses those that oppose their views," said the letter, which cited several court document uses of the terms.

"We believe it essential to ongoing public dialogue to eliminate hate speech in all forms and to strip away all vestiges of perceived bias," the group said.

It said acceptable terms are "undocumented immigrants," "foreign nationals," "persons without legal immigration status," "unauthorized workers" and "alleged or suspected undocumented immigrants."

However, the association said "illegals," "illegal aliens," "aliens," "resident or non-resident aliens," "illegal immigrants," "scratchbacks or wetbacks," "armies of immigrants," "invaders," "reconquistadores" and "anchor babies" should be banned.

On the Judicial Watch forums page the arguments included the technical.

"Yes, the concept of citizen implies that it can be legal or illegal, based upon the laws that confer citizenship in any particular jurisdiction. If members of a Supreme Court do not understand this, we are in a lot of trouble as a nation. God help us," wrote Gianni.

Others exhibited less patience with the request.

"If the Hispanic Bar likes that, then let's call drug dealers undocumented pharmacists, and home robbery suspects physical property adjusters," said the commenter. "I know a moron when I hear one."

They also got personal, "She must have gotten her law degree out of a box of Cracker Jacks," said another. "Calling an ILLEGAL ALIEN an 'undocumented immigrant,' 'unauthorized worker,' 'or 'human rights advocate' not only is nondescriptive of the individual, it is the same as calling a burglar an 'unwanted house guest.' Get real!"

"How about felonious foreigner," suggested another.

Judge "Song Ong"? Must be a nip. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif Bums everywhere are demanding recognition as "urban outdoorsmen". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
 
I agree with the judge and hispanic bar association whole heartedly. The terms tonk, mojado, and wet are sufficient labels for these foreign invaders. There is no reason to waste extra words on these feral people.

If that isn't the biggest load of BS .... PC ......

..... you know what ........ I HAVE EVER READ!!!

I am speechless ........

Three 44s
 
Why would we do that?

So that it won't make them feel like they are here ILLEGALLY, and hurt their feelings? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif
 
Yet another reason these self-anointed high philosopher kings (and queens) should be elected.

This half-wit Ruth McGregor was appointed in 1998, by Governor Jane Dee Hull, a Republican! (Actually, the Republican record on judicial appointments is pretty lousy. Horrible, liberal SCOTUS justices, Souter and Stevens and semi-horrible Kennedy were all Republican-appointed).

This witch needs to go!
 
I'm sure all Obama's Latino voters are citizens, too, right?

In key states, Latino vote fueled Obama's victory
By Ivan Moreno
Associated Press
November 10, 2008

DENVER (AP) -- Latinos are hailed as a key voting bloc, even though they show their power at the polls only sporadically. When they turned out in record numbers to vote for Democrat Barack Obama, they not only erased recent gains by Republicans but shattered the myth of a black-Latino divide.

Amid worries about home foreclosures and economic recession and driven by an unprecedented get-out-the-vote effort and the acidic debate over illegal immigration, Latinos helped Democrats flip the battleground states of Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico and Florida.

"Without the Latino vote, we would not have won those states," said Federico Pena, Denver's first Hispanic mayor and a national co-chairman of the Obama campaign.

The nonpartisan National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials estimates that between 9.6 million and 11 million Hispanics voted in the election, compared to a U.S. Census estimate of 7.6 million in 2004. Latinos comprised 9 percent of all voters this year, compared to 7 percent in 2004, according to Associated Press exit polls.

Nationwide, the AP polls suggested about two-thirds of Latino voters chose Obama over Republican John McCain. About three-fourths of Hispanics under the age of 30 supported Obama.

In Florida, where President Bush won 56 percent of the Latino vote in 2004, Obama earned 57 percent of the Hispanic vote to McCain's 42 percent. Obama won three-fourths of Latino votes in Nevada, and nearly 7 in 10 favored him in New Mexico, where he would have lost without them.

In Colorado, Hispanics supported Obama at nearly the same rate as Democrat John Kerry in 2004 -- about 6 in 10 -- but they made up 13 percent of the electorate this year, compared to an estimated 8 percent four years ago.

"In many respects, the Hispanic vote in this election has redrawn the electorate map," said Frank Sharry, executive director of America's Voice, an immigration reform advocacy group. "Four states that went for President Bush in 2004 went for Obama in 2008, and the critical factor was the huge turnout and the huge trend by Hispanic voters to Democrats."

Gone are the significant inroads by Bush among Hispanic voters. Bush won over many in 2000 by saying he would build a solid relationship with Vicente Fox, then president of Mexico. Their relationship later soured.

In 2004, Bush won 40 percent of the Hispanic vote, assiduously courting Spanish-language news media and Hispanic small-business owners, said Maria Teresa Petersen, executive director of Voto Latino, the nonpartisan voting advocacy group co-founded by actress Rosario Dawson.

This time around, many of those small business owners have been battered by the economy, and Latinos came home to Democrats in droves.

"If you're a Republican strategist, that should make you break into a cold sweat," Sharry said.

Latinos have historically supported Democrats over Republicans, but other factors contributed to a surge for Obama that Kerry didn't have against Bush in 2004.

The U.S. government naturalized a record number of Americans in the last year -- more than 1 million -- and Obama scored big among first-time voters. Some 28 percent of Hispanics the AP polled said they were voting for the first time, compared to 12 percent for all first-time voters. And the new Hispanic voters backed Obama by 76 percent to 23 percent for McCain.

"States that would've never been in play -- Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada -- were in play because of the increase in Hispanic population. Period. And all of a sudden, we saw a shift of more Latinos being eligible to vote," Petersen said.

The debate on illegal immigration also hurt Republicans.

"Boy, it's just really hard to vote for a party that says they're going to deport your loved ones," Sharry said.

Mexico native Graciela Cabral is a 38-year-old first-time voter in Denver who became a U.S. citizen in April. She said she voted for Obama because she felt he would do more to help immigrants and provide educational opportunities for their children.

Cabral not only voted for the first time but went door to door encouraging other Latinos to vote. It often took three visits to persuade neighbors to cast ballots, she said.

"A lot of people got annoyed, but a lot were grateful, too," Cabral said in Spanish. For months, she worked with the nonpartisan advocacy group Mi Familia Vota, which targeted Latinos hesitant to vote.

The bleak economy also motivated many Hispanics to pick Obama.

"He wants to get jobs back, he wants to give tax exemptions to companies that want to create jobs here," said Denver resident Gustavo Garcia, a 38-year-old producer of radio and TV commercials. "And I also like his perspective on health care -- that everyone should have health care."

"It totally makes me happy," Garcia added. "I think that this election was the election of the minorities."

In fact, Latinos like Garcia disproved a perception that Obama critics latched on to at the start of Obama's campaign: That Hispanics wouldn't vote for a black candidate.

"I think what was important is this really dispelled the myth that Latinos would not support an African-American candidate," said Arturo Vargas, NALEO executive director.

That perception may never have been true to begin with, at least in Colorado. Wellington Webb was elected Denver's first black mayor in 1991, largely thanks to Latino support.

"We have more in common than we have apart," Denver City Councilman Paul Lopez has said. "The issues in the African-American community are almost the same issues in the Chicano and Mexican-American community. I think we're allies."
 
Ya know dawg Pat Buchanan has been speaking out for years about how America was being invaded and over run. In fact much of his dialog actually bordered on true racism.I found myself not listening to him because it didn't feel right.Now I wonder, maybe he was right and I was wrong.
