Because, in all my years of listening to stupid news media people, I have NEVER heard more incompetent reporting than I’ve heard this morning on this issue. The so-called smartest people in the room, our beloved media, can’t even tell us what was thrown out and what was upheld in a coherent manner.
To p_r_s:
For once we agree...
That I know of, anyway.
Those who say Obama won this are beyond stupid.
Those who attack Roberts and Kennedy forgot to notice, the ruling was UNANIMOUS.
The provisions that say it’s an AZ crime to enter AZ illegally and obtain employment there have been ruled to be pre-empted by federal laws already in existence.
The law against illegal immigration remains in effect, the court ruled 8-0 that it’s a federal law and cannot at the same time be a state law.
It upheld for now the provision that cops in AZ can ask for legal status information in the normal pursuit of their law enforcement duties, apparently leaving door open a crack to have another go at the issue, later.
We wish the whole law was upheld as it was written.
But with a unanimous decision how can people keep attacking a couple of justices??
To dfwg:
Kennedy was a Reagan appointee.
Roberts, a W appointee, was joined by every other justice except the recused Kagan.
