Which McCain would you vote for today for U.S. Senate – Meghan or her Dad, John McCain*? Especially following their reactions?

I'd vote for Meghan McCain, even though I disagree with her on this particular issue. I disagree with old McCain on almost everything and don't think he has any qualifications for office at all other than a rich wife who is a beer distributor. Not only does Meghan appear to be a progressive, if she were elected to something I'd get to see more photos of her.

But you seem interested in the new Arizona law. I think that is a worthwhile attempt to enforce the immigration laws. Like most laws, it has the possibility of abuse.

However, I think most objections are due to a grossly simplistic reading of the law. It was mostly written by a law professor who did his research, not typically boneheaded state legislators. People read that the police are supposed to check when they have "reasonable" suspicion and are supposing that the police will be able to pick a definition of "reasonable" off the top of their heads; but, that's not so.

Enshrined in our constitution is a prohibition of "unreasonable" searches, so the definition of "reasonable" and "unreasonable" has a long and extensive case history and has been continually refined by the courts for generations. The police know that stuff and the courts will correct them when they get it wrong. Without state and local police enforcing the law the laws are pretty much doomed.

Back during prohibition federal, state, and local police tried to enforce the prohibition against drinking. Where the local police didn't cooperate the law was virtually ignored. They are the only ones with enough "boots on the ground" to enforce most types of laws.

And there is no constitutional problem with states making the same things illegal as the federal government, it happened with both prohibition and with the drug laws. The states just can't contradict the federal law without problems.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
