I would love to be wrong but I see no way in hell that this is not going to end up in front of the Supreme Court.

`sigh...90% of all legislation seems to go to court. The unelected courts are NOT the place to overturn a political decision and nullify the will of the people.

A court overturned California Prop 187, making a mockery of the process.

I bet the brief from Mexico got in before the cutoff. Any takers?

What would these liars, cheats and thieves do IF Arizona had just passed the Calderon Mexican Immigration Law? Why waste words, just pass Mexican Immigration Law and be done with this mass insanity?

A judge is not required to actually read an amicus brief. In this order the judge is simply trying to reduce the judicial resources (i.e., staff time) managing the inflow of documents which may be stamped and filed in the case, but which will likely have absolutely no effect. You see this more frequently at the SCOTUS level, but the media attention this is getting is drawing every two-bit public interest law firm and "public interest" center/institute/foundation, and they will likely be inundated. It's done not so much as to truly influence the court - but rather to allow the center/institute/foundation to be able to issue a press release announcing their participation, thus "blowing their own horn."
