Kris Kobach can't teach at UMKC if he gets elected

  • If Kris Kobach goes to Topeka, he leaves UMKC.

The law school at the University of Missouri-Kansas City plans to offer a course in the spring called Immigration Law and Policy. But the school's (in)famous expert on the subject may not be around to teach it.

Kris Kobach, the UMKC law prof who helped write Arizona's controversial "Got papers?" immigration law, is running for secretary of state in Kansas. If he wins, he won't try to balance teaching duties and political office. "He has to take a leave of absence," says Deb Lucia, a spokeswoman for the Kobach campaign. "It's not even an option."



Lucia is referring to the University of Missouri System's rules for employees. The system forbids staff members from holding local, county, state of federal office on a full-time basis.

No doubt, Kobach will keep busy enough if elected. He has promised to crack down on voter fraud, a threat he'll have to find before he can stop it. He will also want to give his fancy new title a test drive or two across the chyron on The O'Reilly Factor.

If life in Topeka is still boring, Kobach can administer to the anti-immigration laws and ordinances he's written that become subject to court challenges once the fun of massing against fruit pickers and day laborers dies down.

Mr. Kobach is also eating crow and it's tough. HB2067 passed, but not without significant modification such as, among other things, the Secretary of State can't change the rules all by his little ole self. Legislators saw him coming and were ready -- in mass. Ha ha, let's play ball!

Have you ever noticed that when someone lacks a substantive and intelligent argument, they revert to crass vulgarities?

Once Kris Kobach gets your vote, you will be quite normal. Don't worry.

By the way, Kris Kobach is signing those 'awesome' Obama caricatured "stop the voter fraud" signs, at his huge rally this coming Saturday at T-Bones. By all accounts, this event will be the pre-celebration party for his Secretary of State victory.

Would hate for you to miss it.

By the way, how do you like your CROW -- medium or well?

"At the meet and greet, you can ask him yourself.
You could actually learn something about the law and the Constitution. Enlighten yourself!"

What could a normal person learn from a KKK member? What could a normal person learn from a racist? What could he possible teach about the Constitution, A document that he does not support but wants to subvert to keep a white male minority power base in position?

Have you ever read one of his positions on the constitution and then read the constitution on that same thing? The two positions have nothing in common and only a absolute ignoramus would support his position.

What he spews would be better off coming out his buttock then his mouth.

My in-laws, who are idiots, have this awesome autographed KK "stop the voter fraud" sign, with caricatures of Obama and his administration holding a bazooka which is aimed at some innocent voter thingamawhatsit. I'm telling you it is awesome(ly hilarious). I know it will be worth money someday.
