Foreign government brief cited in Supreme Court Az. decision along with brief of registered lobbyist for a foreign gov., Madeleine Albright

.
Good work by the left in getting rid of the embarrassing US Constitution. The left gets whatever it wants because the right refuses to fight.

6/25/12, "Arizona v United States," Opinion of the US Supreme Court

page 3: "The federal power to determine immigration policy is well settled. Immigration policy can affect trade, investment, tourism, and diplomatic relations for the entire Nation, as well as the perceptions and expectations of aliens in this country who seek the full protection of its laws. See, e.g., Brief for Argentina et al. as Amici Curiae; see also Harisiades v. Shaughnessy, 342 U. S. 580, 588–589 (1952). Perceived mistreatment of aliens in the United States may lead to harmful reciprocal treatment of American citizens abroad.
  • See Brief for Madeleine K. Albright et al. as Amici Curiae 24–30."...

3/31/2006, "Behind the Dubai-Gate Debate," Economic Policy Institute, Jeff Faux

"What else could explain George Bush’s threat to produce the first veto of his presidency in order to protect this one government contract? Or big-time politicos like Republican Bob Dole and Democrat Madeleine Albright lobbying Congress on behalf of a company owned by a government that, to put it mildly, coddled 9/11 terrorists? Or the way so many media pundits – swallowing assertions about security from an administration whose incompetence in these matters is now legendary — savaged those who have merely asked for a delay in order to follow the law, accusing them of racism, demagoguery and ignorance? "

"The proposed deal to allow foreign-government-owned Dubai Ports World to manage some U.S. port facilities has highlighted another aspect of the Washington lobbying scene: Foreign governments can and do hire former members of Congress and former high-ranking U.S. officials to be their paid advocates.

Former Senate Majority Leader Bob Dole (R.-Kan.), former Rep. Tom Downey (D.-N.Y.) and Carol Browner, who served as director of the Environmental Protection Agency in the Clinton Administration have all been hired by the UAE-owned company. Browner currently works for The Albright Group, a consulting firm headed by former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who served as America's top diplomat during the Clinton years.

The AP reported February 23 that Browner and Downey visited the office of Sen. Charles Schumer (D.-N.Y.) on behalf of the UAE-owned company. Albright Group spokeswoman Jamie Smith told the AP that Albright was not personally involved in the ports deal but had traveled to the People's Republic of China in February on behalf the UAE-owned company. "Secretary Albright was in China with government officials and people in the private sector to help them better understand DP World's interests in China," said Smith."...
