Bad judgment on Arizona law

White Plains, N.Y.: The feds won't protect Arizona's border, and now a federal judge refuses to allow Arizona to protect itself. Just as President Obama ignored the decision of two judges against the drilling moratorium in the Gulf of Mexico and did it anyway, Arizona should ignore Judge Susan Bolton's ruling and enforce its laws to protect its citizens. There are two sets of laws in this country now: One for citizens that have to be followed, or else. And another for illegal aliens, who don't.

Joseph Chillemi

Astoria: Arizona Federal Judge Susan Bolton's ruling proves two things: Judges have way too much power if they can cancel citizens determinations with a stroke of a pen, and this administration has to go if she agrees with Attorney General Eric Holder's contention that illegal aliens are entitled to more rights than American taxpayers.

Brad Morris

Colorblindness

Brooklyn: I agree with Voicer Daniel Iscouici about Eric Adams and Charles Barron doing nothing about violent crimes in African American communities. But why did he leave out the biggest racist of all, Al Sharpton? As long as no whites are involved in killings, these three couldn't care less!

Gary Korba

Flaunting it

Cheshire, Conn.: Isn't it great how the Clintons have improved their financial condition since their presidential days? Of course, now they need to improve their manners - a wedding isn't a place for wretched excess.

Joan B. Chapman

Breaking a sweat

Valley Cottage, N.Y.: To Voicer Paul DiSclafani: Realistic? I guess you have been living under a rock because car racing, curling and, according to ESPN, poker are considered sports. I dare you to actually go to a cheerleading competition and see for yourself if you think cheerleading is just an activity. Get educated before trying to convince yourself and others it's not a sport.

Stephanie Dolce

Three cheers

Yonkers: To Voicer Christopher Burner: I'm a former cheerleader, and I challenge you to try doing three back flips in a row and tell me that it is not a sport! We had uniforms, practices and competitions just like any other sport. I now currently enjoy golf. It, like cheerleading, is a sport.

Lisa J.Reeves

Interrupting the ads

Bronx: I am appalled at the audacity of corporate sponsors for allowing the integration of actual programming, clearly disrupting and mindless, into the redundant commercials I have inadvertently become accustomed to.

Michael J. Hanahoe

Speaking roles

Maspeth: On TV, most women speaking have squeakier voices than men, who have stronger voices that you can understand. Many men need jobs, including ex-servicemen with families. Let them work on TV.
