This split on the AZ case doesn’t give me a good feeling as to what’ll happen with Obamacare. Sounds to me the USSC is trying to apply the “something for everyone” approach.
Does anyone have the votes on the Arizona decision? If I heard correctly, Kagan recused herself which means that Roberts must have voted with the majority as a 4-4 decision would have left the 9th circuit’s decision intact.
No, what the court is doing to affirming the Federal obligation in Immigration control, at the same time, saying the Govt did not make the case that what AZ was doing was unconstitutional.
I have felt the same way for awhile....today's climate is wishy washy...trying to please everyone.
States enforcing what constitutes breaches in immigration laws is unconstitutional. Had this been upheld - every state in the Union could have their own immigration requirements.
So it’s a very good ruling by SCOTUS here.
