TRUE, but AZ votes Red and Mexifornia votes Blue. So our AZ law - although written practically identical to US law - is not permitted. Mexifornia, however is free to do whatever they want under the 10th Amendment.
Equal justice for all my a$$.

A federal judge on Monday dismissed most of the Trump administration's lawsuit seeking to knock down a series of California immigration laws, delivering a major blow to the Justice Department's efforts to crack down on so-called sanctuary states.
U.S. District Judge John Mendez tossed out the part of the lawsuit seeking to invalidate Senate Bill 54, which limits cooperation between local and state law enforcement and federal immigration enforcement. He also dismissed an effort to block another law — Assembly Bill 103 — which allows the California attorney general to review and report on immigrant detention facilities.
Mendez also tossed out part of the lawsuit against Assembly Bill 405, which sought to limit private employers' cooperation with federal immigration enforcement.
The dismissals came days after Mendez rejected the Trump administration's request for a preliminary injunction to block the laws while the case played out in court.
The Justice Department first brought the lawsuit against California in March, arguing that the sanctuary laws effectively hindered federal efforts to enforce immigration policies.
But Mendez rejected that argument, writing in his rejection of the Trump administration's injunction request last week that "refusing to help is not the same as impeding."
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, whose office is charged with defending the state against the lawsuit, celebrated the dismissals on Monday, saying that it upheld California's right to determine how best to protect its residents' privacy and security.
"Today's decision is a victory for our State's ability to safeguard the privacy, safety, and constitutional rights of all of our people," he said in a statement. "Though the Trump Administration may continue to attack a state like California and its ability to make its own laws, we will continue to protect our constitutional authority to protect our residents and the rule of law."
Yes. And his current speech is not making me feel any better. He mentioned the support of Elena Kagan and now is talking about his support for women.............I SUPPORT THE BEST PERSON FOR THE JOB!! I DON’T CARE IF IT IS MAN OR A WOMAN. Kavanaugh really is making me uncomfortable.
Por la raza todo, fuera de la raza nada
F’in tyrant in a black robe.
Nominated by George W. Bush in 2007.
**********************************
The vile effluvia Bush poured into our Federal judiciary continues to rot our nation on a daily basis.
STAY OUT DA BUSHES!
Nominated by George W. Bush in 2007.Sez it all right there.
[I thought this was settled with Arizona being slapped down for exercising state-level immigration laws.]
Amazing isn’t it. When it serves the left, count on a judge to pull law out of his a**.
Send the US marshals to arrest this black-robe traitor for sedition.
I think trump picked him simply to stop mueller and nothing more.
When are these federal judges going to be struck down? Seriously. They are enemies of the people.
yet, SCOTUS adiosed Arizona’s immigration law in part that Arizona’s law is invalid because it attempts to exercise a power over immigration that belongs solely to the federal government.
How does this not apply to California ?
Send 1000 ICE agents to Los Angeles and start rounding up and deporting ALL Illegal Aliens.
“U.S. District Judge John Mendez”
Is he even a citizen?
Pull all fed contracts out of CA including DoD. Stop granting Hollywood taxpayer dollars. And that will pretty much assist CA into the tailspin it’s been striving for.
I’m shocked /s Instead of rounding up the illegal alien harborers and prosecuting them, Magoo takes California to court with the inevitable outcome...What a POS.
Another one of many of W's mistakes.
“SCOTUS fast track...”
They are out of Session and I suspect they will need Kavanaughs vote. But it will need to go through the 7th Circus first.
I understand your remarks and don’t find fault with them.
At times they do seem to go straight to the Supreme Court though. How do they facilitate that?
That’s what we need here.
I believe the President has to request it.
Am I off base with this?
