The Gestapo reference comes from Ace (riffing on a favorite descriptor of the progressives), but the argument we're both noticing is from the mind of Byron York, who says that new law in Arizona will not lead to a rash of "driving while brown" arrests or a wholesale miscarriage of justice because it is not an example of nativism run amok.
I have friends who think otherwise (I'm told there's a Facebook group with a ton of signatures against the new law), but York seems to have the facts on his side. His thesis:
Has anyone actually read the law? Contrary to the talk, it is a reasonable, limited, carefully-crafted measure designed to help law enforcement deal with a serious problem in Arizona. Its authors anticipated criticism and went to great lengths to make sure it is constitutional and will hold up in court. It is the criticism of the law that is over the top, not the law itself.
