A law is to be enforced in its entirety

July 29th, 2010

I did my every other Thursday radio program this afternoon.  We veered from our scheduled topic to discuss the federal court’s stay of Arizona’s illegal emigration law.  This decision and the President’s position pose significant threats to our current balance of power as we know it.  Not only are state’s rights threatened and the courts acting beyond their constitutional boundaries, the question is raised about the administration enforcing only the parts of laws they want to enforce.  A federal law, state law or local ordinance is the law.    A law is to be enforced in its entirety, it is not the role of any executive official to hand pick laws or segments of laws that are to be enforced and purposely not enforce others.  This is what is happening in this situation and that is scary.
