Steve Rose: Kobach should have his pay docked

[proud2BlibKansan]

This time Kris Kobach has stepped over the line.

Until now, the Kansas secretary of state was nibbling around the edges of questionable double-dipping.

As reported in previous columns, Kobach has been earning thousands of dollars on the side, writing anti-illegal immigration laws for several states, including the norotious Arizona law SB1070 that was mostly struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court.

But we gave him the benefit of the doubt, when he told National Public Radio’s KCUR reporter Laura Ziegler a year ago that he was writing these laws on his own time. He told Ziegler he spent between five and 10 hours a week “on nights and weekends” doing immigration business. He even claimed he wrote an Alabama law on his laptop while at a turkey shoot.
