It would probably be illegal under the federal constitution if the feds tried to do it for federal office because of the privileges and immunities clause of the 14th amendment. But they're interpreted that in a stupid way to only apply to federal privileges and immunities and not state ones so it'd have to be challenged under equal protection and that's a harder argument to make.


I think she should try to take it to the U.S. Supreme Court anyhow but I doubt she'd win.

With our current court, they would probably order her to be deported.

I should run for Japanese office. I'm sure I could be quite effective as they Mayor of Tokyo.



Sony is run by a guy who doesn't speak Japanese. Or at least didn't speak much before he took the job. I don't know if he's learned since.


Your point is beyond stupid.

multibillion dollars businesses are run by people who don't speak the language most of the employees speak and they do fine but there is no way in hell a mayor of a smallish town can run the town - where most people probably speak spanish - if she doesn't speak English!!11



You're a clown. This is seriously the worst POSSIBLE way to defend the law. Interpreters are not some fancy newfangled invention.

Of course they will. This is the government, an entity run by morons. But that argument is dumb in my opinion. I would stick with the other stronger arguments.
