Semanko Blasts Obama, Minnick

Idaho Republican Party Chairman Norm Semanko had harsh words for President Barack Obama for the decision by the U.S. Department of Justice to sue Arizona over new laws designed to stop illegal immigration. He also levied criticism at Democratic Rep. Walt Minnick, who also opposes the federal government’s lawsuit. “It is a signal of the madness infecting the Obama administration and the Democrat-run Congress that instead of spending more money fighting the known crisis that is illegal immigration, it is squandering precious tax dollars in court fighting a state trying to do something about the problem,” Semanko said in a news release/Brad Iverson-Long, Idaho Reporter.

Question: Do you support or oppose the suit filed by the federal government in an attempt to stop Arizona from enforcing its new immigration laws?
