AZ Gov Retains power to disarm Minutemen

State senators didn’t get the two-thirds need to over turn Gov. Napolitano’s veto of legislation geared to reign in her power. What power might that be? The power to declare an emergency and disarm members of the Minuteman Project patrolling the Mexican border (is that an oxymoron?).

I love the Governor’s nonsensical explanation for her power grab. Read this one.

Napolitano said she had no intention of taking anyone’s weapons. But she said the measure was crafted too broadly, taking away her power even to order someone to move ammunition from the path of a forest fire.

I love Rational Reviews take editorial comment on this.

[editor's note: How can you "trim" a non-existent power? - TLK]

Gutless wonders won’t even stand up for the Constitution. The Governor has no authority to take away the guns of law abiding citizens. I appears that the Governor wants an open border and no protection of the 2nd amendment.
