So if the Court is rejecting arguments that states have no role in immigration policy or enforcement, that could bode well for when the Supremes have to rule on the Arizona immigration law. The liberals will explode if the Supreme Court would uphold the immigration law.

As a legal precedent, this could be very big. If the court is saying that states do indeed have a role to play in immigration policy, it could pave the way for the Arizona immigration law to be upheld. And pave the way for other states to do the same.

Heck, it could even pave the way for a future Republican administration to actually enforce the immigration laws on the books now.

I hope that’s the way it’ll work.

This is a double home run for AZ, because the feds are challenging SB 1070, their new immigration law, “on the grounds that it pre-empts federal authority.”

This means that unless the feds change their argument about SB 1070, the Supreme Court will find the same way for it.

Let’s not get too carried away. That would require cajones and a spinal column, neither of which Republican administrations seem to be able to wrestle up when the chips are down. It has something to do with losing the Hispanic voter, who are soon to outnumber the White voters across America.

I think this ruling makes the other moot, since it affirms that it is a state right in total.

>>

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.”

Justices Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, all Democratic appointees, dissented. The fourth Democratic appointee, Justice Elena Kagan, did not participate in the case because she worked on it while serving as President Barack Obama’s solicitor general

Kagan was recused.

Kennedy voted with the majority (must have been caught sleeping)

Not really true. The ones who want welfare will continue to swarm the country. We have to cut that off, too.
