Could SCOTUS determine that both the AZ and the Federal immigration laws are unConstitutional? If so, what then?
Note the article doesn’t mention anythign specific that makes Arizona’s law so “tough”. they just parrot the line that it is.
It's 59, actually -- the 57 states Obama claimed to have visited, and the two more he hadn't yet gotten to.
