Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer demanded Friday that a reference to the state's controversial immigration law be removed from a State Department report to the United Nations' human rights commissioner.

The U.S. included its legal challenge to the law on a list of ways the federal government is protecting human rights.

In a letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Brewer says it is "downright offensive" that a state law would be included in the report, which was drafted as part of a UN review of human rights in all member nations every four years.

"The idea of our own American government submitting the duly enacted laws of a state of the United States to 'review' by the United Nations is internationalism run amok and unconstitutional," Brewer wrote.

And Arizona's governor is not taking this slap-in-the face quietly...

All I can say is I hope Arizona re-elects Brewer...

A recent Arizona law, SB 1070, has generated significant attention and debate at home and around the world. The issue is being addressed in a court action that argues that the federal government has the authority to set and enforce immigration law. That action is ongoing; parts of the law are currently enjoined.

Doesn't seem to controversial to me. Sounds like a controversy contrived by an attention whore.

You're absolutely correct. And that attention whore is the Hildabeast.

Arizona needs a Palin/Arpaio ticket. Since they're already a laughingstock, might as well go all the way.

The top people can't control their radical fvcks like Teabaggers, Palin, Beck, Limbaugh and the anti-immigration milita idiots. They are imploding because they are looking more and more like Muslim terrorists and the assholes who run Saudi Arabia.

Thanks for the boost, Conk trolls!!!
