You know you’re in trouble when Tom Tancredo says you’ve gone too far

Holy crap! Here's one for the "things I thought I would never see" file. AZ Immigration Law Goes Too Far For Tom Tancredo:

Former Congressman Tom Tancredo — the same guy who said we should send the president back to Kenya and said a Supreme Court nominee is part of the "Latino KKK" — said this weekend that the new Arizona immigration law goes a little too far.

Tancredo told Denver news station KDVR:

[He] applauds the law in that Arizona took control of enforcing laws the federal government hasn't enforced.

But he questions how police can stop people for any reason. "I do not want people here, there in Arizona, pulled over because you look like should be pulled over," says Tancredo.

He suspects police in Arizona will only pull people over for breaking the law. But they could already do this before the new law.

And here's another one for the file from FAUX News contributor Judge Andrew Napolitano. Judge Napolitano on Arizona's new immigration law: 'She's gonna bankrupt the Republican Party and the state of Arizona':

Fox News Analyst that day [Friday] had been sturdily defending the bill. Not the Judge:

Napolitano: She's gonna bankrupt the Republican Party and the state of Arizona. Look at what happened to the Republicans in California with the proposition — [California Proposition 187 (1994)]

Cavuto: What happens?

Napolitano: Ah, Hispanics — who have a natural home in the Republican Party because they are socially conservative — will flee in droves. She's also gonna bankrupt her state, because no insurance company will provide coverage for this. And for all the lawsuits that will happen — for all the people that are wrongfully stopped — her budget will be paying for it. Her budget will be paying the legal bills of the lawyers who sue on behalf of those that were stopped.

This will be a disaster for Arizona — to say nothing of the fact that it's so unconstitutional that I predict a federal judge will prevent Arizona from enforcing it as soon as they attempt to do so. That will probably be tomorrow.
