Again, it’s not a mockery. If each state were to have it’s own immigration laws, that would mean that the US would lose complete control over immigration. We dodged a bullet today - had AZ’s law been upheld, there would be nothing stopping CA from issuing ‘visa waivers’ to everyone who wanted them, effectively making everyone who went to CA a legal immigrant.

Not so. You don't understand what was in AZ 1070 and what the court decided. Read the decision including Scalia's dissent.

“You don’t understand what was in AZ 1070 and what the court decided. Read the decision including Scalia’s dissent.”

I have. I predicted when it was issued that it would be found unconstitutional. So, if I correctly predicted the outcome, why are you asserting that I don’t understand the case?

It’s got nothing to do with the ‘liberal wing’ or the ‘conservative wing’. Roberts isn’t ‘compromised’ based on this one decision. It’s the correct constitutional outcome to uphold in part and strike down in part.

The only question was whether it was something like 9-0, or whether the court would issue a massive dissent to show disatisfaction with Obama. Scalia, Thomas, Alito all got to post their dissents.

This was the best outcome we could have hoped for on this bill. I’m happy with it.
