Judges in Kalifornia shouldn't make rulings for the rest of us.

This time, they ruled in favor of the good guys.

Why? IN this case, they are correctly interpreting not only the law as written, but the will of the voter....

Looks like they stumbled across a right answer for once.

Am I reading this wrong or are you? The whole thing reads like a running double negative, so I could be wrong.

"A federal appeals court on Tuesday refused to block implementation of a portion of a voter-approved Arizona law that denies some public benefits to illegal immigrants."

It sounds like they (the court) refused to block a law that "denies some public benefits to illegal immigrants".

Is that not a good thing to you?

Well, not quite. All they did was say that the plaintiff had no standing. Once they come across someone who does have standing, then we'll see what they have to say about the law.

There is NO constitutional right to receive public benefits.

The laws of the land supersede the "will of the people." We are a Republic, not a mobocracy after all.

Smart decision from the Ninth Circus, for a change.

Didn't the 9th Circuit rule that California's Prop 187 was unconstitutional?

Yes, but it obviously wasn't to the person that wrote the story. Hence all the double negatives. ;-)

CITIZENSHIP no longer matters. All that matters is RESIDENCY.
Illegal Immigrants are RESIDENTTS of the state and therefore are entitled to any and all state and federal benifits.

There are agencies that make sure they receive them all too.

This will be taken to a higher court and voided, just like Prop 187, OR they will take each piece to the courts until this law is recinded.

No way will the libs stand for this ruling.

Looks like they ruled right for once!

I for one am tired of watching emergency rooms close down because the illegals use them for free and the ER's go bankrupt.
