The First Amendment is sacred. Referring to illegal aliens by their correct name is not a curse word. Only curse words should be discouraged out of the courtroom.
I am a U.S. citizen of Hispanic heritage and I think pro illegal alien organizations are abusing the Civil Rights movement and the patience of the American people.
Illegal aliens are lawbreakers and they are not "undocumented" immigrants. I will go as far as calling them thieves, since they abuse our social services while they are here illegally.
Organizations like "Los Abogados" are an embarrassment to loyal American citizens of Hispanic heritage. Giving in to these individuals is not the correct behavior for a judge.

I am so fed up with "political correctness" and how it has affected the discussion and dealing with so many issues too numerous to list. Whatever happened to truth, accuracy and good old common sense?! I would be glad to be signed on to the complaint as a Friend of Arizona.

Is Justice Gregor heading up an new judicial command as the leader of the "Speech Police"? Where do we draw the line, what becomes hate or derogatory, who determines it and what methods will be used to define "OK words" and "not OK" words? Shall we soon be issued citations from the Speech Police for using the PERFECTLY appropriate term of illegal alien to refer to those who come to stay and/or work in our country without our knowledge or approval? And what is this complaint that "no human being is illegal"? That is the most ridiculous chant of the pro-illegal alien and pro-open border camp. Americans will have lost the very crucible of what and who we are FREEDOM OF SPEECH is the very heart and soul of this nation.

Changing terminology does not change the fact that if you are in the country illegally, then you are an illegal alien. NOT immigrant, not undocumented anything (they have plenty of stolen and forged documents). This has nothing at all to do with their humanity! Get over it! If I sneak into another country (because of the "freebies" – (whoops I mean grass is better there), then I am in that country ILLEGALLY! Again, get over it! Hmmmmm, here's a few you might like:

"Justice"?? McGregor. This leftist tyrant has no business in dispensing justice because she doesn't know what justice is. She is a disgrace to the legal profession. She has adopted the arbitrary tactics of those who want to silence opposition to their support of illegal aliens in this country. She ought to be impeached.
Stop violating the needs of the community and the country and follow the law. Show your love of country and our heritage by doing the right thing, which is to protect the citizens by following the law and not making new laws from the bench. Kick out the illegal aliens from our country by ruling against them and stop listening to the crummy Hispandering "abogados" and their lies.

This is America and not Mexico or any other country. Mexico's illegal alien laws are ten times more severe than the illegal alien laws in America and no one, I repeat no one from any group should be telling American judges what they can and can't use as far as illegal alien status is concerned. Any judge that accepts this type of cooercion should be disbarred permanently. Stop being politically correct, or a coward and get a back bone!!! Stand up for America, NOT Mexico!

Whether or not someone is 'offended" by a word, Americans still have the first amendment right to say what they choose.

Judge McGregor has overstepped her authority when she tacitly approved of the "request" by the lawyers guild to control the official language of the court. And by passing this letter on to the other judges, she gave the nod to this blatant example of self-serving, arrogant contempt for the dignity of the court as the dispenser of "blind justice" as exemplified in our sovereign US Constitution and our laws. Clearly, her purpose was to put pressure on the other judges with her tacit approval.
This is entirely unacceptable. Judge McGregor should be reprimanded and removed from her position as the Chief Judicial Officer for Arizona.

I have had it with these racist groups trying to change legal terminology. The definition of an immigrant is "a lawful permanent resident" someone who sneaks across the border does not fit that definition. The definition of an alien " a stranger" ergo illegal alien.

Arizona Supreme Court Chief Justice Ruth McGregor is guilty of subversion of the rule of law, specifically, violation of the First and Fifth Amendment rights of American citizens; of giving preferential legal treatment to illegal aliens; and of conspiring, with "Los Abogados" ( aka “the Hispanic Bar Association”), to obstruct justice, in violation of all applicable Arizona state and U.S. federal laws.

Normally, I would applaud someone who made the attempt to phrase something so that it would not unnecessarily hurt someone but not at the expense of honesty. When you refuse to recognize that someone entered the U.S. illegally, you are refusing to recognize the law of the U.S. that says they do not have the right to do this, it is wrong, it is breaking the law. Therefore, the person who entered the U.S. illegally is an illegal alien. That is just the facts of the situation.
I am sorry you, in the top of our legal system, has such an illogical sense of this situation. To make matters worse, you are using your own personal opinion instead of the law. You should at this point in your career realize that you (as a judge) must be able to put aside your own personal ideas and follow the law of the United States... NOT to move forward your personal opinions and agendas. Apparently, you cannot do that and therefore you really are not doing your job and should step down or be taken off the bench.

I would like to be included on the complaint because I support using the words "Illegal Aliens" which is exactly what those aliens who are within our borders illegally are: ILLEGAL ALIENS!. I am also against the racist "Hispanic" groups who support and encourage illegal migration - they and their supporters are enemies within and should be deported along with all the Illegal Aliens!
