Rove says he has ‘problems’ with AZ immigration law

By Christine Show, Orlando Sentinel

THE VILLAGES – Karl Rove, chief political strategist for former President George W. Bush, today questioned a controversial new Arizona law designed to cut down on illegal immigration by making it a crime to not produce proof of citizenship when a law enforcement officer demands it.

Rove, speaking to a crowd of about 500 at the mammoth senior community as part of a national book tour, said that while the law is understandable, it does present difficulties. The law has become the nation’s toughest anti-immigration measure.

“I think there is going to be some constitutional problems with the bill,” he said to the standing-room-only crowd at the Colony Cottage Recreation Center. “I wished they hadn’t passed it, in a way.”

Still, Rove, who was promoting his book Courage and Consequence: My Life as a Conservative in the Fight, objected to comments by critics including President Barack Obama that the law will lead to problems such as racial profiling by police.

1. I think he sees the political writing on the wall. nt.

[Enrique]

2. ha, 'constitutional problems'

gee, I wonder what Rove's concerned with, constitutional problems or hispanic vote problems.

[No Elephants]

15. Rove's reverence for the Constitution is mythical--er, I mean, legendary. Yeah, that's it.

Legendary. That's the ticket!

[Xipe Totec]

3. Reap the whirlwind. nt

[totodeinhere]

4. Now he's suddenly worried about the constitution? n/t

[cstanleytech]

13. Yes, the irony is thick he is however correct in that there are probably

gonna be some challenges to it.

[Thor_MN]

5. Headline is four words too long

[pinboy3niner]

9. Ha! I see your point. Too bad the reporter got the law wrong, too.

" . . . making it a crime to not produce proof of citizenship when a law enforcement officer demands it." It's not proof of CITIZENSHIP, it's LEGAL PRESENCE. Sheesh!

[DLnyc]

6. Rove IS a problem.

He needs to be arrested for treason, elections fraud, racketeering and criminal ugliness with an intent to destroy civilization.

[mrfocus]

7. Seriously...Turd Blossom is worried about the Constitution suddenly?

that's a change...

[bergie321]

8. RINO

:rofl:

[pezDispenser]

11. hahaha!

[Iliyah]

12. The GOP

are scared that they may lose in November b/c of this. I don't think they ever cared about the Latinos, but pissing them off can result in votes against the GOP and votes for the other party. Even the GOP Latins don't truly care either, and I have no love for Rubio.

[thelordofhell]

10. Well, a turd blossom is brown

A broken watch is right twice a day.

[lonestarnot]

21. Immigrated from turdland w/o papers too. Dough boy afraid he'll be deported.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

14. Make no mistake. The only problem this little filthy maggot has is that

it may cost the repukes more votes than they think they'll gain by this.

[No Elephants]

16. Rove never met a voting demographic he didn't like.

24. It was probably his idea.

The Republicans are betting they can cost Democrats votes with this. And they may, if Democrats don't stand up against it.

[goclark]

17. Probably trying to get his own talk show or run for office

:puke:

[panzerfaust]

18. Concerned that private citizens may not have power to ask "suspected illegals" for identification

[Doctor_J]

19. Why is that fucker not in prison yet?

Oh, yeah, he's a Repuke

[yellowcanine]

22. “I wished they hadn’t passed it, in a way.” Whoa, that's telling them, Karl.

Karl offers a ringing defense of the Constitution!:sarcasm:

[Arkana]

23. Yeah, I know what Rove's problem is.

It doesn't go far enough.
