Additional lawers have been added to the hispanic case to stop HB-1894.  Martin Perez is one among 100 reconized as the most prestigious constitutional lawyers in America. He is a Civil Rights lawyer in Virginia. Twenty five others of the legal defense fund are also being consulted. Attorneys representing Oklahoma Governor Brad Henry and Attorney General Drew Edmondson have asked Payne to dismiss the lawsuit, offering what many legal observers feel to be nothing more than a series of flimsy claims designed to postpone the inevitable striking down of the law.First the state claimed that the lawsuit should be dismissed because it was filed before 1804's implementation date of Nov.1. Henery and Edmondson believe the suit should be dismissed because no-one has been arrested yet. The two elected officials also feel they should be removed as defendants, even though Henry, as Govenor, signed the divisive bill into law and Edmondson, as Attorney General, is responsible for it's enforcement. " These Defendants have no connection to this statute," the motion for the dismissal mysteriously maintains. Claiming that the plaintiffs cannot establish that they or anyone else has been harmed by HB 1804, Henery and Edmondson assert that living under an unconstitutional law is not by itself sufficiently injurious to warrant overturning such a law. This idea is viewed by critics as being not just absurd, but unconscionable. " These are elected officials, who swore an oath to uphold the Constitution," a spokesman for the plaintiffs said. CONLAMIC's national President Rev. Miguel Rivera has called for the bill's author, Randy Terrill (R-Moore), to resign from office for sponsoring what Rivera feels is frivolous and immoral legislation. (note:) this is the latest on the Federal Court dealings, in case anyone wanted to know.  (cricket)

Have you read what Terrill has been saying.  How happy he is that more Hispanics are leaving.  Everytime he talks its against the Hispanic people.  The bill might not be racial, but the aurthor of the bill sure is by what he says.  If he wasn't racial he wont mention a certain race.  Here is the website to that story.
