I can just imagine what quickly that boycott will collapse if he went

One Brian Marick pointed out, elsenet, "CA threatens to boycott AZ, so
AZ threatens to not sell things to CA?"
If he followed thru, he'd run afoul of all kinds of federal
regulations covering interstate commerce. (LA's boycott might, too!)

Except for scrubbing pelicans or giving deportees legal
representation. They're kind'a funny, like that.
Regional backouts is kinda the point of throwing the switch. This is
why it's a very, very, VERY bad idea for one state to launch a boycott
against another. Arizona's power companies are privately owned, and
they most certainly CAN throw the switch any time they like.
Arizonians should be every bit as concerned about CA blackouts as the
Los Angeles City Council are about small AZ businesses who they've
driven out of business.
BTW, California gets about half it's water from AZ.

That didn't stop Cheney & Enron during the 2000s.
It seems to me that if LA refuses to do business with Arizona, they
would be in a very bad position to force AZ to do business with them.
Why does SF have all the gays and LA have all the lawyers?
SF drew first pick.
And, um, you're under the impression that California imports oil and
water from ARIZONA?
Not if there are contracts in place.
Or BP and Barack Obama.
During his time in the Senate and while running for president, Obama
received a total of $77,051 from the oil giant and is the top
recipient of BP PAC and individual money over the past 20 years,
according to financial disclosure records.

And as a privately owned company do you really think that they will stop
those electric meters from turning? Hell no. They don't make their money
from tourism. They'll keep the money flowing.

If they don't pay; that's in the contract.
Of course there are. That's why the offer was made to release
California from to contracts, forcing the incompetent Mayor of Los
Angeles to bluster foolishly.. I'm quite certain that lawyers could
find violations in Los Angeles' contracts that could gum up the
works. I suspect that Arizona could easily at massive taxes out of
state providers. They could have "accidents" on the hottest days.
There's a million ways the State of Arizona can make life miserable
for Los Angeles.
Ever have a pissed of supplier? You'd be AMAZED how little contracts
can help.
What on Earth makes you believe the electric meters would stop
turning. There are LOTS of places to sell electricity. Remember?
The econuts insisted we stop building electric plants decades ago.
Much demand, little supply.
Indeed. Amazing how many problems with back ordering and
manufacturing and just all kinds of other little things that can stop
the machinery so to speak.
My own boss found that out the hard way one year.
Almost lost a couple of major contracts due to a "minor" hold up on
getting partws from a supplier he had cussed out.
That electricity goes to Las Vagas.

Probably trying to appeal to America v. 6.0 yupscum.
"Binding contracts". Arizonans aren't obliged to buy California
oranges.
but the Power and water agreements are contractural. In fact, mostly
federal, so Arizona has no say anyway.

I am certain that big corporations break contracts with citizens all
the time. Look at HMOs, for example.
Further, the AM radio station that I only listen to every day for 15
seconds or so was claiming that Gary Pierce meant his statement
rhetorically, and that down at the bottom he was only presenting the
option as a hypothesis. The professional liar, between citing Rush L,
then claimed that all the news organizations and blogs who ran with
this story were too lazy to read the whole letter.
I can't tell what part he was talking about. Is this yet another
fabrication of the far-right? Lies are indeed all they have to support
their positions these days. The conclusory paragraph starts "If an
economic boycott is truly what you desire, I will be happy to
encourage Arizona utilities to renegotiate your power agreements so
Los Angeles no longer receives any power from Arizona-based
generation." That does not look very hypothetical to me, but maybe we
are indulging in some Orwellian double-think or new-speak I'm unaware
of.

This is exactly why economic boycotts ("sanctions") are better than
warfare. Unlike warfare, they directly interfere with the dictators'
cronies' forecasts & stocks.
LA boycotting over AZ apartheid compares favorably to LA boycotting
over South African apartheid. I seem to recall you wingnuts opposed
that boycott, and supported that apartheid, too!

He can't, because that 75,000 number (with is the only thing the
corporatists have to go with on this one!) is _cumulative_ thru his
legislative career. The actual amount in his presidential campaign is,
perforce, smaller.
And I doubt the wingnut blogs will be reporting it, so he can't tell
you it.
Whatever idiot wrote this line apparently has never heard of the
California Aquaduct Project.
The vast majority of water in California comes from the Sierra, and
the mountains in the north of the state.
Further, AZ runs a bigger water deficit than any other state in the
union.
Why not just move your illegal immigrant ass from Texas back to Mexico
and join your brethren in their boycott.

You act like ya'lls piddly little boycott is actually going to hurt
the state.
Anything that is produced in the locations you listed can be found
somewhere else likely at the same cost.
And what have you to say about Costa Mesa? They've announced that
they aren't going to be a safe city for any illegals and will be a
"rule of law" city and can do exactly as Arizona is under existing
California law.
And good luck convincing all of those that are looking for more ways
to do business with Arizona firms as well as the tourists that have
said they will be vacationing there more often.
And you will have better luck pissing up a rope than convincing the
thousands of college kids that descend on lake Havasu each year to

Let Arizona cut off the juice for a few hours and we'll see how
quickly this boycott will collapse.Liberals' devotion to their pet

So does Escondido. That doesn't make the law right.
From the top: As late as 20 years ago, immigration was one of those
issues, like abortion, that the GOP kept alive, so they could rely on
single-issue voters. Meanwhile, with lots of holes in the border,
migrant laborers could literally commute to US crops and help harvest
them.
The balance of power maintains when unscrupulous employers use
undocumented immigrants, because both sides break the law equally.
However, as the GOP runs out of options, they must appeal to haters,
like you, who can't see beyond skin color. So instead of cracking down
on employers, they crack down on undocumenteds, with random sweeps.
Meanwhile, the one thing the GOP can improve is the border. Crossing
is now so hard that migrant laborers, for the past 15 years or so,
have stayed on this side of the border, and raised their families
here. Just because they are Mexicans, and therefor automatically know
how to commit all kinds of crimes, as wingnuts imagine them, doesn't
mean they automatically know how to get back across the border once
they are deported.
And that's why the current system continues to reward employers for
illegal hiring practices, while at the same time randomly breaking up
families. Instead of fixing the problem - by issuing as many work
visas as we have open jobs - the GOP wants to exploit the situation by
making a public example of each deportee.
And sorry pieces of human shit like you are falling for it, because
you can't see beyond your bleary miasma of hate.
Yes, they worked so well against Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Burma...

No!! D'ya think??
Just like Goldman Sachs was a heavy bundler for Obama and Obama had to
throw them under the bus when the heat got hot. The same for BP. Obama
has to make public display of him wagging his finger at them in front
of the cameras.
Who's next? Probably Google, being one of his top contributors, since
Obama is a proponent for net neutrality and Google is against it.
That's how Don Obama operates.
Once he gets all the money out of taxpayers, he won't think twice

Just enough to force Obama to cover it.
BP and its employees have given more than $3.5 million to federal
candidates over the past 20 years, with the largest chunk of their
money going to Obama, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.
Donations come from a mix of employees and the company�s political
action committees � $2.89 million flowed to campaigns from BP-related
PACs and about $638,000 came from individuals.
to cover what?
And how could $75,000 "force" anyone to do anything? I thought the
nature of the system was these _weren't_ bribes. (And if you want
collusion, look at AT&T sponsoring the Dem National Convention in
exchange for immunity from wiretapping law enforcement.)

So what? Obama then took the money and deregulated them?
Do you have any paperwork on that - without Cheney's fingerprints on
it?
I didn't think so...

You heard it here first, folks - Goldman Sachs is just the victim!
It's also going to hurt the people you supposedly care about. If the
boycotts succeed, a lot of the people you supposedly care about will
be out of work. But then I doubt you actually care about those people
anyway.
Was there not a contract in place for Arizona to host the Super-bowl
some years ago? Did not the NFL break that contract for no reason other
than that the Arizona voters refused to vote for a Martin Luther King
holiday?
I don't recall hearing the left cry about upholding contract then.

This Congress has the entrepreneurial spirit in producing the most

Obama wants to cover up his cozy relationship with BP during his term
as Senator and his campaign.
For all those opposed to the new AZ law let me say this:
At least, they are trying to do something. If you don't like this new
law, then what's YOUR solution? How would you fix the illegal alien
problem?
Well... Not exactly... But the whole boycott-thing is hilarious!

Turns out to be the RepubiCUNTS Hall of Shame.
The problem is that Los Angeles desperately needs Arizona for its very
survival, while Arizona doesn't need Los Angeles at all.
Have you ever tried to deal with a pissed off supplier? If Arizona
wants Los Angeles to have brown outs and water shortages, they *will*
happen. "Oh, my, we had a relayer shut down. Sorrrrreeeeeeeee. We'll
have it fixed by Monday. Oh, wait, that's Valentines Day - we can't
ask our repair crew to. You'll only be dark for three weeks, or
months."
Brown outs and water shortages will continue until it's time to re-
negotiate the water and electricity contracts.
Why do you think Los Angeles has shut the frak up about the boycott
anyway?
And that contradiction is....?
Yeah, tell us again how self-sustaining Arizona is.
Make us laugh.

You using the word apartheid to describes Arizona's law just shows you
are stupid and ignorant.
You do not even know what apartheid is.
What did you do drop out pre-school?
Of course you're right. Additionally, Los Angeles is very likely being
pelted with emails and voice mails from the overwhelming majority of
the American people who support Arizona's new law. I left a message
for the Mayor of Los Angeles, telling him I'm boycotting his city as
long as they boycott Arizona. I also sent an email saying the same
thing. I encourage everyone who supports Arizona to tell Los Angeles
you won't be visiting that city because of their actions. Here's a
handy website with some email addresses and phone numbers:
Don't worry, an overwhelming majority of the American people support
Arizona. I live in the Los Angeles area, and I'm boycotting Los
Angeles and supporting Arizona. I will visit Arizona and spend money
there, and I will no longer visit Los Angeles, and I will not spend
money there. There are many more Americans who agree with me than
agree with Los Angeles.
Here's your problem - for every one American who's against the law,
there are two who support it.
Last year, the left started a boycott of Whole Foods. They wound up
find the number of customers INCREASE.
...wait, don't tell me, let me GUESS!
You're one of those ignorant morons who thinks civil rights are up for
majority vote, but taxes should require a super-majority!

I never even heard about it, which suggests it wasn't nearly as
controversial as the Arinazis are.

modulo a shifting definition of "American"...
What's so controversial? That an overwhelming majority of the American
people support Arizona?
Incorrect. You get an "F" for fail.

¿Norteamericano o sudamericano?
Ask *most* people around the world who the "American people" are, and
see what they tell you.
Let 'em. Rights aren't subject to plebiscite, bubbles.
Fat, ignorant and bigoted, and seemingly intent on destroying their own
country?
And not a single one has an idea.
Nobody read your question.
The ideas are
A> to issue as many work visas as we have open jobs (yes,
cheap labor is good for the economy - IF it's are above-ground
and controlled by the rule of law), and
B> to stop remotely thwarting the Mexican political forces that
would help them make all their own jobs, in Mexico.
I can't seem to recall posting those answers before around here.
Probably just an oversight - sorry!
In the current system, Big Government (who you hate, right?)
deliberately issues fewer work visas than we need to fill our guest
labor force. And Big Government constantly applies a vestige of the
Monroe Doctrine to Mexico, aggressively propping up their governments
that favor feudal oligarchies over free labor and social justice.
Oh, and then there's the War on Some Drugs, also an artifice of your
favorite institution, Big Government.
If you agree with that system, then why do you love Big Government so
much??
Except they're wising up now that they see the people they elected to
run the country are destroying the country.

What "civil right" is at issue here?
Once again, what "right" is at stake?
"The right of the people to be secure in their persons,
houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches
and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall
issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or
affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be
searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

There is nothing in the Arizona law that calls for "unreasonable"
searches and seizures. But why aren't you leftists up in arms about
the federal law upon which the Arizona law is based? ICE agents don't
even need the *lawful* contact Arizona police officers are required to
have. ICE agents can approach anyone they suspect of being in this
country illegally. It's been federal law since 1952. Why aren't
leftists boycotting the entire country?
I wonder why the ACLU hasn't complained about federal law in all these
years? The Arizona law puts restrictions on Arizona police that the
federal law does not put on ICE agents. Yet irrational leftists are
going crazy over a state law, and ignoring the federal one. Can you
explain why?
How does this law violate this right?
Why isn't California boycotting itself?

CA Immigration Law Similar To Controversial Arizona Law
As Arizona's new immigration law is set to take effect at the end of
August, a little known law in California has some striking
similarities to the controversial Arizona statute.
Arizona's law will require an officer to inquire about a person's
immigration status when they are stopped and detained. If the officer
believes they are in the U.S. illegally the person will be arrested.
California's law requires a suspect to be arrested first, but
according to Capt. Raymond Gregory of the Riverside County Sheriff's
Department, swift action is then taken if cops believe the arrestee is
an illegal immigrant.
"We have a system and policy in place when people come in, when they
self admit that they're illegal aliens or ir they list they were born
out of the country we do notify I.C.E. (Immigration and Customs
Enforcement) of that information", said Gregory.
Gregory tells KPSP Local 2 that Federal agents from I.C.E. are at the
Indio jail nearly every day acting on referals from deputies who
suspect inmates of being illegal aliens.
The California law is spelled out in California Penal Code Section
834(b):
This is especially for Ramon:
Good point, thanks for this.

That's a mischaracterization of the Arizona law (once again media
can't get it right). Arizona police will not be "required" to inquire
about a person's immigration status.

All of this is after the police have stopped the person for some other
*lawful* reason. Only after stopping the person for some other
*lawful* reason, if the police officer becomes suspicious that the
person is not in the country legally (for instance, not being able to
produce a valid ID), will the officer then check with ICE to determine
the person's status to legally be in this country.

This is great information. Thank you, I'm going to make sure the
leftist city councils in California cities that are boycotting Arizona
are aware of it.
And of course you don't see any of the MSM saying jack squat about
Californias law.
Wonder if the Gov of Arizona is aware of Californias similar law?
She could have a field day with that.
I don't think they're aware of it. I live in California and I wasn't
aware of it. I already sent communications to Los Angeles and San
Diego to tell them I'm officially boycotting those cities (which are
in my vicinity). I won't spend a dime in either of those cities as
long as they're boycotting Arizona.

This is going to come out. You're on top of this story! I'm going to
send your article to as many places as I can to get the word out.
CA Immigration Law is nothing like AZ racial profiling.
Give away your rights, not others rights, shit-for-brains.
Well, I just discovered that Los Angeles Police have a policy that
they don't enforce the state law. Sort of the way the federal
government has a policy that they don't enforce federal law. So L.A.
can get themselves off the hook on a technicality, though they still
should be boycotting parts of California that do enforce the law (as
was shown in the article you posted).
I already responded to this, but you've got your follow-up set so my
own reply didn't show up on the group I read. What I told you is that
the Arizona law specifically forbids racial profiling.

Likely because they are terrified that Arizona authorities will
actually enforce the law unlike the feds.
So,ever get an answer to that?
Yes, several.
Suffer from selective blindness much?
