AZ Update

Here is the latest on the Arizona Eligibility bill, which began winding it's way through the Arizona state house today.

Arizona's House reps passed the bill on the first reading, then sent it to the Senate side where it was voted down 5-3 by the Judiciary Committee. Two republicans flipped, including Rick Martin a co sponsor. ????? Nevertheless, the bill finds itself in the Senate Rules Committee which will vote shortly, most likely this week, in order to determine whether or not to send it to the floor for the consideration of the full senate.

This bill should pass, it passed 4 readings in the 2010 session, but for a pocket veto by the senate president, a republican, it would have been given to Gov. Jan Brewer last August for her signature. Arizona's statehouse has turned redder, rather than bluer, another plus for our camp.

Arizona is not the only state working this type of legislation. Obama's got a bigggg problem.
