Chief Justice John Roberts, writing for a majority made up of Republican-appointed justices, said the Arizona’s employer sanctions law “falls well within the confines of the authority Congress chose to leave to the states.”

Damn. And there I thought that the States had delegated enumerated powers to the Congress in the first place!

Silly me.

You’ll have to wait for his annual dressing-down at the SOTU speech

“falls well within the confines of the authority Congress chose to leave to the states.”

Out and Out LIE, The States Created Congress and The States gave Congress Specific Enumerated powers, This is not one of those Enumerated Powers the States granted Congress So we have no Say in the Matter. The Problem is NOBODY ACTUALLY READS THE CONSTITUTION ANYMORE.

"...Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, all Democratic appointees, dissented...."

At least in the Red States. Looks like a win for the Constitution.

I’m not sure your conclusion logically follows. The Supreme Court could reverse on appeal. (I hope they don’t, of course.)

Oh sh*t I misunderstood. I thought this was the AZ Supreme Court. You’re right, this is big.

Outstanding. This will set off a wave of states passing mandatory E-Verify laws and revoking the business licenses of firms that violate the law. This is huge.

Ruh Roh! If the reporting on this decision is correct, this is a big one, the Supreme Court just ruled that States DO have a say in immigration policy and it isn't exclusivly a federal matter. By this precedent pretty much every pending anti-illegal peice of legislation should be upheld. The Obama folks must be going ballistic, I wonder if the Supreme Court is in for another lecture at the state of the union speech this year?

Knowing Obama though, when he gets slapped down by another branch of Government he attempts to bully to get his way. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't try the "executive order amnesty" that the hard core pro-illegals have been pushing.

I am encouraged by this ruling...
No wonder the Palins bought a winter home in Arizona.

We send our sincere congratulations to the citizens of Arizona and the much-maligned, very brave Governor, Jan Brewer!

Yeah, our Judges think they were appointed to be Philosopher-Kings, above the petty limits of a silly old document from 220 years ago.

The law in question passed in 2007. It had nothing to do with anything RINO Brewer did. Russell Pearce is the one who deserves the most credit. Kris Kobach, now Secretary of State in Kansas, wrote and defended th law.

Employers "will hesitate to hire those they fear will turn out to lack the right to work in the United States," he said.

Well, duh, that is precisely the point, Justice Breyer.

Breyer said the Arizona law upsets a balance in federal law between dissuading employers from hiring illegal workers and ensuring that people are not discriminated against because they may speak with an accent or look like they might be immigrants.

Total leftist garbage and Breyer should be ashamed of himself for making such a stupid statement, but I'm sure he isn't. But any citizen of the US, and any legal resident, has documents readily available or obtainable to prove their eligibility to work in the US. (And any few who don't can obtain such documents with reasonable effort.)

What’s most amazing about this story is there is a Judge; who knows how to judge. There is hope that maybe a few more may be out there somewhere.
