The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to weigh-in on immigration. The state of Arizona is requesting that the court allow enforcement of those parts of Arizona's immigration measure that have been blocked by lower courts at the Obama administration's request. Among those provisions is one that requires police, while enforcing other laws, to question a person's immigration status if officers suspect he is in the country illegally.

Big Sis is deeply concerned...

republicans are playing this wrong. SB1070 should be justified as public safety legislation. mexican drug violence is spilling over the border. americans are being killed. to oppose SB1070 is to tie the hands of local law enforcement in the face of drug thugs.

then let’s see what eric holder and the obama campaign have to say.

"Obama’s lawyers had urged the court to steer clear of the dispute, but the justices instead agreed to hear Arizona’s contention that states have leeway to question and detain illegal aliens.

"Justice Elena Kagan, formerly Obama’s solicitor general, said she would sit out the case.

"The justices instead said they will hear the case of Arizona vs. United States and are likely to set the arguments for April. The court’s eventual ruling is likely to determine the fate of similar immigration laws adopted in the past year by Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah."

I wonder if this ruling will be an indicator on how the SCOTUS will rule on the fed govt mandating we buy a product. It seems to me both cases involve the 10th Amendment.

[commish]

I would imagine we will be seeing Alabama, Georgia, etc etc signing on to this case also as their laws are very similar and facing the same challenges.

At the very least I would expect Amicus briefs from the state AGs.

This could have far reaching consequences. Not the least is if they rule against Arizona and that in turn encourages the states to propose and pass a new amendment to the Constitution boosting their rights vs. the Feds.

What will La Raza Queen Sonia Sotomayor do, I should have to ask.

A borderless nation is quite a difference. :)

O’Bummer publicly dumps on the SCOTUS at the State of the Union address. Soon, the SCOTUS will return the favor.

I’ll be looking with great interest for some article that follows up on that tease. They just dropped that one sentence and moved on.

1. The Supreme Court should be renamed the Glacial Court considering that the speed at which it moves would do any glacier proud.

2. Like the other branches of the federal government, the Supreme Court is all about consolidating federal power, so don't expect this to turn out the way we hope.

Kagan recuses re Arizona Law Here. So does that mean she'll have to recuse with the Obamacare ruling?

[LibLieSlayer]

The SCOTUS will rule in favor of the bull dike and la raza.
