White House A Sore Winner On Arizona Ruling

The Supreme Court voted 8-0 Monday to uphold a key provision of Arizona’s S.B. 1070 that requires state troopers to check the immigration status of people suspected of being in the U.S. illegally after they’ve been caught committing other crimes.


But after the Obama administration and its media allies crowed that the court ruling was a win, their fury over their loss on the one provision became obvious.

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced that the administration would cut off ties to Arizona’s police and end provisions of seven 287(g) task force agreements that gave some Arizona police agencies powers to enforce immigration laws.

The vindictive, disproportionate response effectively isolates the state in terms of being far more stringent than anything the administration has inflicted on Burma, North Korea or Iran.....
