Current Event 2/11/11

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/02/10/brewer-countersue-federal-government-immigration-enforcement/


Arizona governor Jan Brewer announced Thursday, February 11, 2011, that Arizona will be filing a counter-suing lawsuit against the federal government because the feds have not secured the Arizona border. This is a response to the Obama administration's lawsuit against Arizona's SB 1070. Brewer's complaint is that the feds have given her no other choice because they have failed to secure the border and Arizona is picking up the tab. The feds have not reimbursed Arizona as they are obligated to do.
According to Brewer, it is ridiculous for the feds to sue Arizona for enforcing federal laws. She expressed her desire to push the law to the Supreme Court if necessary.
Who: The main "character"of the article is Arizona Governor Jan Brewer, who was the mastermind behind the SB1070.
What: Jan Brewer is filing a counter lawsuit against the federal government for not securing the borders and not reimbursing Arizona for its efforts to do so.
Where: The area in question is the southern border of Arizona with Mexico, but the courts will be the literal locations of the article's topic.
When: Jan Brewer announced Thursday, February 11, 2011 her plans to sue the federal government.
Why: The federal government has not secured the southern border, and Arizona wants it to be secured on the fed's tab.
This article is effective because it is not biased, and it reports the facts and the reasoning behind Jan Brewer's motion. It does not provide alternate viewpoints, nor should it. The article is on Jan Brewer's reasoning and lawsuit, not the topic of illegal immigration. It covers the necessities of such an article: why Jan Brewer is suing the feds, her resolve, and the history of SB1070.
The CBT of Social Science: Sin: is applicable to this article. This CBT states that the purpose of laws is to restrain the depravity of man, both the governors and the governed. This article handles the governors, and Jan Brewer's Arizona is suing the federal government for not enforcing the laws. The law system is keeping the feds in check, at least theoretically, by providing Arizona with the ability to sue the federal government for not enforcing its laws.
