Next, Arizona should either sue the federal govt for failing to do their jobs, or
Continue business as usual, until the feds step in and start doing their jobs.
Remember, Roberts was appointed by illegal loving GW Bush.
From what I can tell all the provisions in question got knocked down.

Hope will not change the fact that Kennedy is an attention whore and Roberts seems to be one in training. It is the only explanation for a vote declaring enforcing the law is against the law.

I vote for Arizona to sue the Feds.
Another reason that border states are in such financial trouble is that the Feds don’t stop the illegals from crossing our borders in the first place and then the Feds refuse to reimburse the states/counties/cities for the cost of catching 7 holding them for ICE.
Worse—Ice won’t even answer the phone & come get these creeps & deport them.
California is owed millions for the costs of rounding up the illegals there.
“I’m hoping Roberts joined the majority to write the opinion and limit the damage.”
Nope, Kagan recused herself, so even with Kennedy switching sides it would have been a 4-4 decision.
The most controversial portion of the bill was upheld. AZ can check immigration status at traffic stops etc.
I CAN SEE ARIZONA FROM MA MAISON IN FRANCE ;•}
Absolutely! That’s why Roberts voted with the majority. Otherwise the vote would have been 4/4 and the whole law would have been kicked back to the Appeals Court.
Roberts is playing chess, not Chinese checkers!
Most in legal circles are saying the CJ Roberts has written the ObamaCare decision. We’ll find out on Thursday.
On another note, for the 250+ subscribers to the FR French Politics, Culture and Fashion Ping List,
this bizarre take on the AZ decision by an American guy living in France (dual nationality, also votes in French elections) whose blog seems to have the sole purpose of trashing America, and cheering on Socialist, pro-Islamist, anti-Israel demagogues who now rule France.
His trashing of the NYPD stop and frisk, and his pseudo “analysis” of Joe the Plumber and the Holocaust
http://arunwithaview.wordpress.com/2012/06/20/joe-the-plumber-and-the-holocaust/
are worth the price of admission, as well as your humble correspondant’s defense of RKBA, and our great patriotic men in blue who have made (Thanks to Rudy) and kept NYC the safest big city with the lowest crime rate in America.
Great to learn that we, the founders of the VRWC, have scared these leftists silly. Ha!

”...the long-term coup d’état the Republicans have set in motion, to rig the political system to their benefit for generations to come and regardless of electoral majorities. Given their ideological self-confidence and relentless determination—qualities utterly lacking on the other side of the political spectrum—I fear they will succeed. With the far right lurch in the US and Europe’s descente aux enfers—not to mention global warming, environmental catastrophe, and the rest—, it’s kind of hard to be optimistic for the future.”
From his keyboard to God’s ear ;•}
His other posts on America and the “ultra conservative far right” ;•} are worth reading for good examples of the mind set of the Kool-Ade drinking leftists who have brought Europe to the brink of the abyss.
Monsieur Kapil states he is American, but his chicken little scaredy-cat whining betrays him. We are an optimistic people confident in our destiny who are doers. We have lived through the very worst and understand we cannot, and will not, ever give up or give in.
What are these people going to do in November?
