MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Gardendale Republican Senator Scott Beason thumbed his nose at the Justice Department Tuesday while addressing the tea party on the status of Alabama’s controversial anti-immigraiton law on the first day of the 2012 session of the Legislature.
He said when the Republicans talk about “clarifying” the law, that really means they will be making the law even “stronger.”
“And if the Obama Justice Department doesn’t like it,” he said, “frankly, they can lump it.”
He also claimed the Occupy movement had to bring in protesters from “out of state” to oppose him.

Beason should just go ahead and admit that it is one of the most short-sighted, ill-advised laws ever passed ANYWHERE…and that it is really not a Republican/Democratic argument against the law and its enforcement; the Anti-Immigration Law is simply the wrong way to approach the problem.
I cannot believe that politicians still hide under the facade that it is a “great” law and that they have done Alabama a great service by passing it.
The woman in black, in the lower right of the photo, is either picking her nose or giving Beason the finger.
Maybe both.
I think she is wiping tears from her eyes.
