PHOENIX — The nation's high court this morning refused to resurrect a challenge by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio to the Obama administration's deferred action programs.
Without comment, the justices let stand a ruling last year by the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia that the self-named "toughest sheriff in America'' had no right to sue.

I am becoming more and more frustrated with the “no standing” dodge by the courts. I am thinking that all “no standing” decisions should be accompanied by a statement that defines who DOES have standing.
gay couples wanting to marry did not have standing... they were always free to marry ...
Think positive. Justice Roberts won’t be blackmailed into voting against conservatives if they don’t hear the case.
Only Kenyans have standing. Awaiting the High Court of Mombasa’s ruling.
Trees and fish and bugs and birds get standing, but Sheriff Joe does not.
Claim to be an environmentalist and the courts will listen to you.
It is pretty amazing how the highest court in the land is becoming more and more political as time goes by.
But Obama Always has standing.
My question is.. how in the hell can the SCOTUS claim Arpaio doesn’t have standing, when it’s on him to police up all that illegal scum in Maricopa County? Of course he has standing!
I HOPE Sheriff Joe KEEPS on doing what he's doing.
Lol. NO ONE is going to mess with him as he is armed and very willing to defend himself.
They did take the case brought by the State of Texas challenging Obama's immigration amnesty. They did not need to take a second case on the same issue, especially because Arpaio's standing was questionable (it was not the State of Arizona or Maricopa County that sued, only one elected official) and Texas's standing was clearer.
SCOTUS.
Thank you for explaining that. I hope we can trust Roberts on this issue. I figure even he has to know by now that everyone knows why he backstabbed conservative issues.

Because of mrs bill’s 900-and-counting FBI files on him and other “enemies”?
“Without comment, the justices let stand a ruling...”
Key word - “ruling,” also known as an opinion. Court “opinions” are not legally binding diktates. The only way a court opinion becomes law is if a legislature passes legislation that agrees with that opinion. Period. End of discussion. It’s way past time to elect legislators who understand the distinction between opinions and laws.
