Immigration law in Arizona is a pass

That I did not know, I didn't think climate varied in the desert that much especially one state over. Then again I am not a person fond of the desert so I would have no real interest in researching it. (outside what I am learning here in this thread)

To put it this waythe New Nexican desertis a very mild version of Mongolia and the Arizona desert is a very mild version of the Sahara. Southern New Mexico has spots that are appropriate to the twilight zone especially in the South East.

I hated to leave that state but the job was elsewhere.

If it wasn't for the 14th Amendment, I am sure he would have referenced Dredd Scott.

I really should read his opinion. The excerpts quoted in the media are outrageous.

I AM the Law!

In Scalia's defense: a law can be constitutionally valid while still being a bad law.

Noting that laws forcing freed slaves to leave a state had been upheald as legally valid doesn't constitute an endorsement of those laws.

The problem with using that argument in this case is that freed slaves were not foriegn nationals and there was no explicit Constitutional clause granting the Federal government the exclusive power to make laws regarding them.

I can't fidn a link but I was reading yesterday - I think it was on Bloomberg - that the Supreme court didn't uphold the ID-check provision. Instead they referred it back to the lower courts for further consideration.

This time around, Sotomayor recused herself because she'd worked on the Federal government's case prior to her appointment. Next time, she won't.

are you sure? it was Kagan who recused herself in the case

[Iangould]

Ah, that's my error then. Both women are recent appointees and I just confused the two.

I don't even have to know of a case. I just know know its a fact.

That sums up modern conservative thinking nicely.

My state is the highest rate of identity theft right now. Id be willing to bet the majority of it isn't coming from legal citizens.

How much?

Why would they care if their legal ,and have the papers to back it up ,and the police always could ask for ID.

Why do they feel their special?

But if there illegal citizens should the constitution even really apply to them?

There - "Look over there!"
They're - "They're being racist!"
Their - "Those Hispanics don't have their papers!" (papers pronounced with thick German accent)

God forbid any action of any kind is taken against undocumented aliens. Imagine people started sneaking into this website without registering, not following the rules that everyone else has to adhere to. They would be banned and kicked out in a day or two. But in the real world, this simple logical order is completely incomprehensible to the far left.

Your user name is appropriate.

Now, now, dupe, don't taunt the banned.

[dupont2005]

Now, now, dupe, don't taunt the banned.

Ah, that didn't take long

[JCAll]

Now, now, dupe, don't taunt the banned.

But it's so much more fun fighting people who can't fight back.

I learned that from Arizona Republicans.
