White Supremacy Means No Respect: President Heckled During Press Conference in Rose Garden by stupid white man. President Obama announced his new immigration rules today regarding halting deportations of young eligible immigrants and in the process was heckled by Neil Munro, an idiot from Tucker Carlson's conservative show The Daily Caller. At one point after the President addressed him directly, Munro called out, "What about American workers who are unemployed while you employ foreigners?"

"Excuse me sir, it is not the right time for questions sir," Obama said as Munro shouted questions. "Not while I'm speaking." "The next time I prefer you let me finish my statements before you ask your question," Obama said later in his remarks. "I didn't ask for an argument, I'm answering your question." [MORE] 

Albuquerque Police using Hangman's noose on Internal Documents. An "elite" Albuquerque Police Department unit has for decades used the image of a hangman's noose on internal documents such as wanted posters and even as a logo on the wall of the unit's office -- until Chief Ray Shultz on Thursday pulled the plug on the practice under mounting pressure. In an email to local media, Shultz said the Repeat Offender Project, known as the ROP team, would no longer use the logo and apologized to the public. The hangman's noose symbol came to light last week when a department wanted poster was introduced as evidence in a police wrongful death lawsuit in state District Court.

Attorney Shannon Kennedy said she found the symbol when reviewing internal documents released by the department in the case of an Iraq veteran shot dead by officers. "I was surprised and appalled," she told the Los Angeles Times. "This is a logo that symbolizes hatred and violence against African Americans in our country. And this hangman’s noose was their calling card." [MORE] 

Rush Limbaugh: Barack Obama in 'full panic mode'/ has Fake "Black" callers on show. 'Rush Limbaugh on Friday said the Obama administration’s new immigration policy is proof that the president is in “full panic mode” about the upcoming election. “The regime today told the border agents: ‘If you catch young illegals, let ‘em go and grant ‘em work permits.’ No more deportation of illegal immigrants. They are to be given work permits and they can stay in the country,” Limbaugh said, according to a transcript of his show. “So what this is, is ‘Catch, Release, Vote.’” He's broken the law.  He has simply bypassed Congress.

CALLER: I'm an African-American.  I'm a conservative...  I'm also a combat veteran. Rush, Barack Obama ain't never done nothing for black people since he's been in office.  He gave the gays marriage; he gave the Latino citizenship. All he gave us was a music video. And, by the way, the music wasn't even that good.

RUSH:  (laughing)

CALLER: And I want to say something to Americans: The next time they want to do a Jackie Robinson experiment, at least make sure that the guy is an American at heart, all right, that puts American values first.

RUSH:  Wait, let's just clarify what he said.  The next time America wants "to do a Jackie Robinson experiment," make sure he's "an American at heart." [MORE] 

Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion is Different from Issuing an Executive Order. Naturally Rush and the rest of the right wing idiots are propagandizing Obama's immigration announcement - saying its illegal. Ignorance or misinformation? It's called "seperation of powers." Media Matters reported that following the Obama administration's announcement that it will grant certain undocumented immigrants the chance to be exempted from deportation, Fox News claimed President Obama had issued the decision as an executive order, implying he did so to circumvent Congress. In fact, the change is an exercise of prosecutorial discretion that is consistent with the current law and has decades of precedent. [MORE] Prosecutorial discretion is the inherent power of the executive. It is the authority to decide whether to enforce the law and to what extent. Prosecutors in local criminal matters for instance, have the prosecutorial discretion to file charges against an individual or not. Unless there is some statute requiring automatic enforcement of the law (probably Unconstitutional), the Executive has the power to decide what laws he will enforce and what remedies to seek, if any - bw.
