What was Your Reaction to Presiden't Obama's Speech in Arizona
When President Obama took the podium at Wednesday night's memorial service in Tucson, Ariz., he was greeted with the unbridled excitement of a college campus embracing their commander in chief. Cheers and screams and hoots continued even after he asked for people to sit down. As he started his eulogy, with the somber words, "To the families of those we've lost," voices still cheered and at least three people shouted out, "We love you!" It was not the way most memorial services usually kick off. What did you think of the audience reaction to Obama's speech last night?
like to. Anyone hasn't had cast the quantity. And it in what Sarah Palin's response by. I agree to a terror you know they up blood -- there's no question about that.you know books. Stick you know it's ridiculous they were saying is Sarah Palin hiding out and because she wasn't you know coming out there and talking about what happened in Arizona. Then she goes out gives a very respectable speeches that thought she did a terrific job I wouldn't have -- the and the way she did but she chose to and that's her decision. But the -- and then they say look at Sarah paley chiefs try to get publicity from this. I mean she she can't catch a break either way people hate Serra that. I'd I'd love to have moon -- tell me why they hate Sarah Palin so much it's just amazing to me. -

Who should be responsible for Clearing Snow from Sidewalks?
A recent ruling by the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court makes it easier for people injured on snow covered walkways to successfully sue those property owners who don’t clear snow from walking surfaces. Winter is here and so are slippery sidewalks, parking lots and walkways. Previously, Massachusetts courts have ruled that a property owner cannot be held liable if someone is injured walking on new or what courts have called “natural” snow. Instead, owners can be held liable if someone walks over the natural snow and then another person falls down while walking on the same area of snow, called “unnatural” snow by the courts.

Jessica Vaughn joining us now hey Jessica how are you.
I'm I'm do you find Charlie how are you.
Good thanks for joining us on such short notice I know we usually try to set this up a little bit quicker and jobs but with this decision coming down today I. I'm really surprised is as we've been telling our listeners and we've got all the stories here. The -- you'll be happy to know though they are dancing in front of the US embassy in Mexico City. They're very they're very happy in Mexico City not so happy on the Charlie Manning show and I'm sure not so happy and Arizona are either.
Well I wondered for the good dancers are people who left in advance of the life even going into effect.
I know I read that story over the weekend that a lot of people were already leaving Arizona. -- die and die yet but the judge of course ruled totally in their way you know.
Well you know I I agree with -- I am I've actually very surprised. That. She would find bad. Element of federal law for some reason can't. You know be enforced than in the state. But. The life having an effect already because people are leaving. Even though it you know it's not gonna go into effect right away. And so that's that's one. Silver lining at least but it I'm really looking forward to reading the twisted legal logic on why this. Can't go into effect because I think it's really a disservice to people of Arizona.
Here's here's a line from -- that has us all scratching our heads I'm sure you're you've been talking to your folks at the -- Center for Immigration Studies but here's one -- Requiring Arizona -- are in fourth -- officials and agencies. To determine the immigration status of every person. Who is a rested. Burdens. Lawfully present aliens. Because the -- Brady will be restricted. While their status is checked.
Well that's complete mistake because what the law says is that. If you claim to be a US citizen or if you can show in Arizona driver's license which you should have if you're driving in Arizona. That you are not gonna have your status verified that it wouldn't. Even applied to them. -- like it it seems to me that there really reading much more into the laws that was actually written into the law by the lawmakers. And turning it into something that it really never was -- But that very unfortunate.
I was telling our listeners that I was sort of hopeful because this is a federal district judge who lives there. In she can see the problem I would think firsthand in less cheese and some gated community you know with us surrounded by. Anglos as they like to call the man who really doesn't know but I you you you knew you'd have to know people who have. You know had difficult problem situations -- dean's that's all of that stuff. To know how the states just overrun. In fact she has this phone -- line in there. Lifts the we're seeing if I can find it anyway she has this phony line which he says she sort of says she understands. You know. About half it is. For the people live out of terrorists' own. And -- thoughtful I can't find it here.
He had a great empathy for them yes I have yet.
Exactly right that's and that's why she pulled the guts out of their law here's another line from her there it's a substantial likelihood that offer -- Who wrongly arrested -- eagle resident aliens under the new law.
She'd slap in the face to the law enforcement but.
She added that are required in the new law the police determined the immigration status of all arrested people. Will prompt legal immigrants to be swept up by this requirement.
What do you think that it it and that's already happening in Arizona. In seven of Arizona's fifteen counties which represents 90% of the population. The jails are already checking the immigration status of every single person is arrested. Well why don't complain about the.
It and you can check it -- it's not against the law to check it.
Especially somebody who's been arrested. It's now checked automatically which secured communities is the -- Supreme Court has already ruled. That a local officer did not need. Any even reasonable suspicion that at an alien about their immigration that. So I mean if it doesn't get his record it was you know we think it says. Strong chance to see allow. But. Yeah it's. Not if it really is a disservice to not let it go into effect. I had it happen because. It's really they are turning it into. Something that it would never intended it. -- that the cool for -- really was aimed at sanctuary jurisdictions. Who are actually. In violation of federal law. In prohibiting opposite. Question. -- and that. Yet on the one hand accepting money from the federal government from the Department of Justice for incarcerating illegal -- if this doesn't doesn't make any --
should drive you crazy well Jessica Vaughn thanks for joining us and sit sort notice if you have a chance overheard the next 24 hours a soda really dig in on this in -- will did you call tomorrow morning and glad you c'mon take some calls from our listeners and will really get into -- little bits Marcus I'm sure folks. As it you know they get out of work today and they hear about this is definitely gonna wanna talk about it tomorrow. All right thank you so much we always appreciate you coming on the show. That's just go -- are immigrant legal immigration expert now we're talking about the decision. In Arizona today it's a huge victory huge victory for illegal immigrants.
