Governor Jan Brewer
Yesterday, we reprinted the entire statement prepared by Mark Kelly, husband of former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, which he read at the sentencing of Tucson shooter Jared Loughner.

It was a damn good statement that included a pointed remark about Governor Jan Brewer's comments after the shooting. To that, the governor responded that she "isn't interested in engaging in politics" (for once).

Jan Brewer Comments on Border Patrol Agent's Death by Going After Feds, Obama

Thumbnail image for Thumbnail image for brewer jan.jpg
Governor Jan Brewer has an opinion.
You probably could've seen this coming, but Governor Jan Brewer just couldn't issue a comment on the killing of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Nicholas Ivie without mentioning President Obama or his administration.

While most public officials remained cordial with their remarks (for example, Attorney General Tom Horne and Senator John McCain), Brewer says everyone should be angry at the federal "failure."

Oh boy, what I has did now?
Governor Jan Brewer's declaration that participants in the Obama Administration's deferred-action program can't get driver's licenses "has absolutely no basis under state or federal law," according to the head of the ACLU of Arizona.

Brewer's order blocks the immigrants who are granted deferred action from obtaining driver's licenses or any other "taxpayer-funded public benefits."

Jan Brewer's Finger-Wagging Chat With President Obama Finally Decoded (Sort of)



After months of speculation, someone finally deciphered what Governor Jan Brewer was saying when she stuck her finger in President Obama's face, thus humiliating the state of Arizona.

OK, so maybe it's more of a guess as to what Brewer said, but right now, it's probably the best theory out there.

Jan Brewer Even Dumped on by Fox News Hosts for Declaring "Victory" in SB 1070 Ruling



When Governor Jan Brewer's being dumped on by her compadres at Fox News for something, it would seem to be an indication that she may not have the brightest idea about what's going on.

Jan Brewer Declares "Victory" as Supreme Court Tosses Unconstitutional SB 1070 Provisions

jantalkdirty.jpg
Governor Jan Brewer is declaring the Supreme Court's decision on SB 1070 a "victory," as the high court sided against Arizona on three of the four provisions challenged.

The Feathered Bastard is providing the updates on the 1070 decision, as the Supreme Court let section 2(b) -- "papers please" -- stand, though the opinion sounds a little iffy on the future of that provision.

"Today's decision by the U.S. Supreme Court is a victory for the rule of law," Brewer's statement says. "It is also a victory for the 10th Amendment and all Americans who believe in the inherent right and responsibility of states to defend their citizens. After more than two years of legal challenges, the heart of SB 1070 can now be implemented in accordance with the U.S. Constitution."

Jan Brewer's Response to Almost Everything About Obama Immigration Policy: Secure the Borders

brewersign.jpg
Secure the border, baby.
Governor Jan Brewer called for a press conference this morning shortly after news broke of the Obama administration's plan to stop deporting young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the country when they were kids.

Brewer apparently forgot that she'd actually have to articulate a response to the policy change, because most of her press conference and response to questions contained variants of the phrase "secure our borders."

After declaring Obama's announcement "outrageous" and a "dangerous distraction," Brewer gave her response that "we need to keep our focus on securing the border."

Can Jan Brewer Run for a Third Term as Governor?

JanBrewer.jpg
For the second time in as many years, Governor Jan Brewer's starting the rumor that she can run for a third term.

The main problem with that would be the Arizona Constitution, which has a section intended to prevent governors from getting a third term.

The argument from Brewer's camp is that since she took over for former Governor Janet Napolitano two years into a four-year term, it doesn't count against her as a "term."
