Arizona Gov. Brewer Vetoes Bill to Allow Guns on Public College Campuses - FoxNews.com

Brewer vetoes birther, campus gun bills

This evening AZ Gov Jan Brewer, of transplant-cutting and racial profiling fame, vetoed bills that would require the President as well as any other presidential candidates to show proof of citizenship via either long form birth certificate, baptism or circumcision certificate as well as a very unpopular bill to allow guns to be carried on AZ campuses.

"I never imagined being presented with a bill that could require candidates for President (sic) of the greatest and most powerful nation on earth to submit their "early baptismal or circumcision certificates" among other records to the Arizona Secretary of State. This is a bridge too far", wrote the Governor.

With these developments just in, does Brewer hurt hurself vis-a-vis Tea Party support? Time will surely tell, but both vetoes this evening are welcome news from a state that has been in the spotlight for very controversial reasons over the last year or so.

Good for her, even politically for her own self-interest which I'm sure was part of it, never mind just doing the right thing.

The gun bill was something that was too politically controversial and was working its way into the overall very negative image of AZ and especially the AZ GOP that's been developing. I'm even saying that as a gun owner and general supporter of gun rights. Given all the other controversial stuff hitting her desk and its current unpopularity there, it's an argument better raised for another day for those who think it's a good bill IMO. That's especially so given the companion Birther bill landing on her desk.

She did herself and the GOP a HUGE favour there by torpedoing that Birther bill IMO. It's already being discussed here and I was putting in my views why that bill was just making the whole Birther thing more absurd than it already is:

The idea that a POTUS would ever be required to produce a record describing whether or not his wing got clipped to appease the current Birthers is a bill that needed to be clipped itself with the veto pen.
