O hey, remember that guy Ken Buck?
From the Greeley Tribune…
Weld County will pay almost $300,000 to the American Civil Liberties Union involving a lawsuit over illegal immigration and identify theft.
The Weld District Attorney on Monday announced it had settled with ACLU, which sued the county over its Operation Numbers Games operation in 2008. Weld Sheriff deputies seized roughly 5,000 tax returns from a local tax preparer in search of illegal immigrants committing identity theft.
The ACLU filed the lawsuit against Weld District Attorney Ken Buck and Weld County Sheriff John Cooke on Jan. 26, 2009. They claimed that officers violated the Fourth Amendment rights of those 5,000 tax clients of Amalia’s Translation & Tax Service in Greeley in 2008, while they searched for those illegal immigrants believed to have committed the crime of identify theft. Courts last year agreed.

I’m sure Weld County doesn’t have any programs or anything that money couldn’t be better spent on, right?

Since when does it make any sense that the public (i.e.voters) can sue the officials they elect, just for doing their job, which is protecting the rights of citizens from the crimes of aliens?
The constitution says you can petition your government. It doesn’t say anything about power grabs by liberals using activist courts to achieve their aims. Buck knew the deck was stacked against him, otherwise he never would have settled!
The judicial powers of review are indeed established by the US Constitution (Article III).
Mis-civics lessons from the imaginary playmate of Bucky Chestnut??
Look what Larimer County has done to you.
That’s all I’m saying.
