SB1070 Update: If Judge Bolton just read the bill . . .
July 28, 2010
by David Safier The question needs to be asked. Did Judge Bolton read SB1070? The reason I ask is, we've been told over and over, if you just read the bill, you'll see it's nothing more than a mirror of federal law and it absolutely, no-doubt-about-it prohibits racial profiling. So I guess the judge didn't
No more “El Blog”? {Sob}
July 28, 2010
by David Safier If you remember, shortly after The Suns became Los Suns on Cinco de Mayo — and won the game, by the way — we decided to become El Blog to show that we would be making a continuing effort to shine light on SB1070 and its perpetrators. SB1070 has gone into remission,

SB1070 Update: CNN’s Ed Henry gets it completely wrong
July 28, 2010
by David Safier On his CNN show, Rick Sanchez made the same point I made yesterday while he was talking with Ed Henry, then Henry contradicted it. Sanchez was 100% right. Henry was 100% wrong. But Henry got the last word. Sanchez said, and I'm paraphrasing, Look, people underestimate the goodness of Americans. A CNN
