[...] Now for some facts on Ms. Alexander. She is a Right-wing partisan. A Right-wing web site she runs says: “Rachel Alexander and her brother Andrew are co-Editors of Intellectual Conservative.” (Talk about a contradiction in terms.) She is identified on the site as a “Deputy County Attorney with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.” No wonder the expose of her office’s antics on Fox News so unrattled her. It was Fox News after all. That had to hurt. [...]

This amazes me. Assimilation was the historic strong point that made “Americans.” My ancestors did it, as did many others. Now, some “do-gooders” and/or judges, operating on feelings rather than the written constitution, are re-creating the discriminations of the past.
What we need rather than separate federal offices, programs, and functions for different ethnicities, etc., is one federal program of American assimilation. Once we start to act separate, all we do is promote divisiveness. Once we allow separateness to become institutionalized, all we do is fracture this entire nation. The UN & other groups or people like them, may want us all to be “accommodated” (read treated) as separate people, but they never understood what America was all about anyway. These tactics are now a common ploy of those who scream and holler, rather than deal with facts.

And who’s to say Spanish-speakers are getting due process in actual Spanish? Unlike court interpreters, counsel and other court officers aren’t accountable to anyone for whatever they say—particularly if there’s no record of their communication. A Spanish surname is no guarantee of speaking Spanish, let alone mastering the complexity of legal proceedings and lay speech in both languages. This is why a single language professional, sworn to impartiality, making a record in English and accountable to the Court, is preferable to an entire room of professionals in anything other than languages, counsel certainly being sworn to represent and conduct privileged communication with their parties, and making no record and no accounting.

Separate but equal courts in Arizona…

The return of “separate but equal”…

The amazing thing is that it’s happening in 2006: Under the guise of multiculturalism, the Presiding Judge of the Maricopa County [Arizona] Superior Court, Barbara Mundell, has set up separate……

Many politicians and many Judges belong in prison for corruption and stupidity. The third worlders need to be re-patriated to their third world dumps.

Treating people differently for “cultural” reasons is not a compelling reason justifying discrimination.
True, Which is why so called Native Americans should be treated as citizens across the board. No different treatment than any other citizen. Not just in DUI cases.
Good piece of reporting.
