What has been seen as the key provision in Arizona’s SB 1070, Section 2B, requiring law enforcement officers to check immigration status of those in contact with law enforcement for other reasons HAS been upheld by the United States Supreme Court!
The high court today basically allowed Section 2B to stand but also remanded it back to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
THAT means that, as soon as an Arizona Law Enforcement officer proceeds with such an immigration status check, it is very likely that a court challenge OF it will ensue and THAT case will proceed quickly to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals.
The case is far from settled.
Basically, what the Supreme Court said was, regarding Section 2B, it cannot be ruled upon until it is in play IN Arizona and a challenge TO it has made its way back TO the Supreme Court.
3 other provisions of SB 1070 including making it illegal in Arizona for illegal aliens to seek work were struck down by the Supreme Court.
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer HAS stated that her state WOULD, if portions of SB 1070 were struck down, begin to REDRAFT those provisions into a new law.
As WE wait for what will most likely be Monday’s announcement of the Supreme Court decision regarding Obamacare, now would be a good time to take a look at how we got to this point.
GEEEEEZ…What a week.
In truth, this week hasn’t been a great deal different that any other for the Emperor when it comes to dodging and weaving around the truth. After 3 1/2 years, it starts to blur.
And so we now know exactly what Eric Holder meant when he stated that he was ready to make “An extraordinary accommodation” to avoid a contempt of Congress vote in the house.
Last Friday, the Emperor stepped up to the microphones in the rose garden and issued a decree that illegal aliens, brought here by their parents and under the age of 30, would no longer be deported and would be given a 2-year work visa.
Well…HERE’S a tidbit.
