Thought of the Day
How is there a preemption issue? I understand there may be other issues, but you’re arguing preemption. Where is the preemption if everybody who is arrested for some crime has their immigration status checked?
U.S. District Court Judge Susan Bolton, sending a chill through the federal government lawyers suing the State of Arizona, on preemption grounds only, vis a vis border enforcement. I'd bet $100 she doesn't stay the start of SB 1070 at the end of the month, because one of the elements for getting such an order is likelihood of prevailing on the merits. I'd bet more than $100, but we're in a lengthy recession.
Good for her for seeing the utter fatuousness of the Obama administration's legal arguments here.
