A New Look at the Federal Suit Against Arizona’s Immigration Law
Under the Constitution, EVERY STATE RETAINS THE RIGHT OF SELF-DEFENSE, EVEN TO THE POINT OF ENGAGING IN WAR.
According to Article I Section 10 paragraph 3 of the U.S. Constitution: “No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, … engage in War, UNLESS actually invaded, or in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay.” [emphasis added]
What’s more, according to Article IV Section 4: “The United States… shall protect [every State] against Invasion…”.
So then, to me the essential Constitutional question that the courts have to answer regarding Arizona is this:
Q: Has Arizona been “actually invaded” and or is Arizona “in such imminent Danger as will not admit of delay” within the meaning of the Constitution and, if so, has the United States sufficiently fulfilled its Constitutionally-mandated duty to “protect [Arizona] against Invasion”?
I think the answer to my Constitutional question is obvious – don’t you?
