Don't miss Adam's column in the Reno-Gazette Journal:
Last Friday, Nevada joined a majority of the other states in a lawsuit challenging President Obama's unconstitutional actions on immigration. Nevada did not join the lawsuit to make a statement about immigration. Rather, we joined the lawsuit to take a stand on behalf of Nevadans in support of the rule of law, the United States Constitution, and the separation of powers between the Congress and the president. Partisan critics were quick to call the lawsuit a "war on immigrants." Clearly this is not so.
It has never been true that in order to sympathize with the plight of immigrants, one must reject our constitutional system. As attorney general, my job is to protect and secure the interests of the state and defend our constitutional system. For that reason, Nevada joined the lawsuit.
