The Supreme Court has sustained Arizona's law that penalizes businesses for hiring workers who are in the United States illegally, rejecting arguments that states have no role in immigration matters.

Kagan was recused.
HAHA bit Bambi in the ass. Hopefully the dirt will continue to be found on her working on Bambicare as well.
Damn. And there I thought that the States had delegated enumerated powers to the Congress in the first place!
Silly me.
I can hardly wait to hear Barry’s snide comments about this decision.
I can hardly wait to hear Barrys snide comments about this decision.
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 Communist Party apparachniks, dissented.
There. Fixed it for ya!!!!!
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.
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.
We send our sincere congratulations to the citizens of Arizona and the much-maligned, very brave Governor, Jan Brewer!
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.
Well then, congratulations to Russell Pearce and Kris Kobach as well!
And congratulations to the Supreme Court for upholding the Rule of Law.
Ping!
Probably bodes well for AZ SB1070...
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.)
Texas can’t get it done soooo......City of Houston voters please visit and register:

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.
