Oh dear Lord....
I didn’t think that the Arizona law would be upheld, and while I wish it were, I can see the SC’s point. If we want strong immigration law and regulation, we need to elect leaders who will implement that direction. Not have the states pass immigration laws that may be in violation of federal law.
However, nothing that happened today made me more or less pessimistic about the ruling on healthcare.
Apparently the decision was in line with long standing precedent, and commerce clause precedent does very little to offer encouragement that Obamacare will be struck down.
Just my opinion, but I think the fire in these decisions will all be in the Scalia dissents.
