This Arizona immigration law is eating the Obama administration's lunch. Last week, Attorney General Eric Holder admitted that he hadn't read the bill despite saying he might file a lawsuit against it. Though Holder did say he 'glanced' at it - one can do that while wearing a smoking jacket and holding a glass of brandy in one hand with a pipe in the other. Now DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano walks the same plank Holder did.
While being questioned about her opposition to Arizona's SB 1070, Napolitano admits to "knowing of it" but also says she hasn't "reviewed it in detail". Is that better than glancing at it? Your call.
What's amazing here is that after Napolitano says she hasn't read the law, she goes on to say it's not one that she would have signed as Governor. Like Holder, Napolitano is jumping to conclusions without reading the law. These are people in positions that are supposed to inherently preclude them from doing such things at every turn.
Now we have the second Obama appointee in less than a week utterly disgracing the position. The good news? Holder gets to take a breath, I guess.

TEXAS LAWMAKER TAKES PROFILING OUT OF HIS BILL
Texas State Representative Leo Berman (R-Tyler), one of two lawmakers in this state - the other being Debbie Riddle of Tomball - who has announced that a law similar to Arizona's SB 1070 will be introduced at the next legislative session in January, is acting early to eliminate the specious claims of racism certain to emanate from the mouth of Al Sharpton. Berman announced today that there will be 'no profiling whatsoever' in the Texas version of the bill.
Via KVUE News in Austin:
KVUE also mentions Gov. Rick Perry's reticence when it comes to supporting such a bill. What needs to happen is that Texans need to support the efforts of Berman and Riddle along the lines of 80%, thereby dragging Perry kicking and screaming to sign the bill.

Via KVUE News in Austin:
AUSTIN -- The state lawmaker leading the charge to bring an Arizona-style immigration law to Texas, says racial profiling will not be allowed if his bill becomes law.Just wait. There will be cries of racism even if Berman concedes illegals are allowed to be in the state, unless they are caught committing another crime. Good move by Berman here. He just helped the leftwing wackos make themselves look even more foolish in objecting to this bill.
“It will be the same bill except that we will completely eliminate any verbiage of profiling. There will be no profiling whatsoever,” said State Rep. Leo Berman, R-Tyler. “If you don’t commit a crime, you're not going to be asked the question if you’re illegal or not -- just don’t commit the crime."
Berman explained his bill would allow local law enforcement agencies to ask about immigration status only if the people they stop or arrest can't show an official ID, such as a driver's license. Some immigrant advocates worry that still targets minorities unfairly -- especially Hispanic Texans.
KVUE also mentions Gov. Rick Perry's reticence when it comes to supporting such a bill. What needs to happen is that Texans need to support the efforts of Berman and Riddle along the lines of 80%, thereby dragging Perry kicking and screaming to sign the bill.

VIDEO: ERIC HOLDER MONTAGE OF INCOMPETENCE
The only critique I have for this video is that the background music is not that of a circus. Excellent montage focusing on Arizona law SB 1070 and Attorney General Eric Holder's subsequent comments, leading up to the crescendo of his admission to Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX) that he hasn't read the bill - though he did "glance at it".
Incompetence on display.
