A brilliant example of unintended cnsequences.
Not unintended, but correct..
The court got this one 100% correct..
Arizona overreached by trying to set it’s own immigration policies, which is a power granted to the federal government...
The fed overreached by trying to micromanage how local and state law enforcement carry out their duties....
Sanctuary cities have always been illegal, as is paying ANYTHING to an illegal..
The states should sue the feds to recover any and all costs associated with their refusal to enforce the laws of the land..
This battle rests firmly with the individual states attorney generals....
If the heat needs to be turned up, that is where to put the fire...
My favorite kind when they happen to supposedly intelligent people.
I am expecting down the line another civil war over states rights.
How about this being just one more example of OBAMA playing tiddlywinks instead of chess; ie, not thinking ahead to properly analyze the repercussions of HIS actions?
Amateur night at the white house.

I disagree. The decision said that presidential whim should be considered by courts. Seriously. By Obama’s whim he chooses not to enforce immigration law in Arizona, and the court said that was fine and dandy.
I assume the whimsical decision cuts the other direction, also. He can ignore violations of his whim as well as object to violations.
Beyond that, perdogg has, I think, properly explained Roberts’ vote. Since Kagan had recused herself, had Roberts voted with the conservatives, it would have been a 4-4 tie. That would have meant that the 9th circuit decision would have stood and the entire law would have been thrown out. As it was they got to (for the time being) keep 1/4 of the law, the police check part.
