No Healthcare Ruling Today As SCOTUS Rejects Parts Of Arizona Immigration Law In Obama Defeat
Those hoping for supreme court to overturn socialism today will have to wait a few more days:
- HEALTH-CARE CASE ISN’T AMONG TODAY’S U.S. SUPREME COURT RULINGS
But SCOTUS did slap Obama in the face nonetheless:
- ARIZONA ILLEGAL-IMMIGRATION LAW GETS MIXED TOP COURT DECISION
- U.S. SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS KEY PART OF TOUGH ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW, IN DEFEAT FOR OBAMA - RTRS
Reuters explains:
The Supreme Court upheld a key part of Arizona's crackdown on illegal immigrants on Monday, rejecting the Obama administration's stance that only the U.S. government should enforce immigration laws in the United States.
The nation's highest court, in an opinion by Justice Anthony Kennedy, upheld the state law's most controversial aspect, requiring police officers to check the immigration status of people they stop.
But in a split decision, the justices also ruled that the three other challenged provisions went too far in intruding on federal law, including one provision that makes it a crime for illegal immigrants to work and another that requires them to carry their documents.
Arizona, on the southwest border with Mexico, two years ago became the first of a handful of U.S. states to pass laws aimed at driving illegal immigrants out, including requiring police to check the immigration status of anyone detained and suspected of being in the country illegally.
The battle over the law goes to the heart of a fierce national debate between Democrats and Republicans over what to do with the roughly 11 million illegal immigrants in the country.
Critics have said the Arizona law could lead to ethnic and racial profiling of the fast-growing Hispanic population in the United States. Hispanics are the largest U.S. minority group.
Other parts of the Arizona law require immigrants to carry their papers at all times; ban illegal immigrants from soliciting work in public places; and allow police to arrest immigrants without a warrant if an officer believes they have committed a crime that would make them deportable.
From CNN:
How did Americans feel about the Arizona immigration law before the Supreme Court ruled?
A CNN/ORC poll conducted on May 29-31 found that 75% were in favor of it while 2% opposed it.
CNN's Kate Bolduan, clarifying the ruling, said of the provision that was upheld: "If they suspect you have broke a law that is already on the books, they can check your immigration status" if theres reasonable suspicions a person is in the country illegally.
[Updated at 10:26 a.m. ET] The Court ruled largely in favor of the U.S. government, striking down three parts of the Arizona immigration law, but the Court did uphold one the most notorious provisions: A requirement that local police officers check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws if "reasonable suspicion" exists that the person is in the United States illegally.
The question now is can that single provision stand on its own, or does the court action mean Arizona has to go back to the drawing board on their immigration law.
[Updated at 10:23 a.m. ET] CNN's Senior Political Analyst David Gergen weighs in on the Arizona immigration ruling:
“The court apparently has said, ‘No, you can’t do that.’ Those are centralized powers and you can’t step in.”
The Supreme Court has issued 5-3 decision in favor of U.S. government, with Justice Kennedy saying that the government has significant power to regulate immigration and while Arizona may have signifacnt frustrations they may not have policies that undermine federal law.
This is a win for the federal government and a loss for Arizona.
Never a boring day.

Four events have dissolved Benjamin Franklin’s hope for ”a republic if you can keep it”:
1) The 1913 Federal Reserve Act
2) The Supreme Court’s interpretations of the Commerce Clause
3) The amendment to provide direct election for the U.S. Senate instead of by state legislatures for six years as intended by the framers
4) The dissolution of a state’s right to enforce U.S. law on its border.
For the moment, thanks to five “supreme court justices’ (6 if Elena Kagan had not excused herself because she was involved in the case as Solicitor General), the states of Arizona and California now belong to Mexico.
Rather than a victory for Obama, I predict this will be a losing election issue for him - because the “supreme court” identified Homeland Security as the agency in charge of policing the border and Homeland Security’s chief operating officer is the “president” of the United States, a man who has publicly declared that he will not police the border.
Many counties in other states are Mexican Majority. Nothing is being said or done about the Mexicans that are terrorizing local citizens with violent crimes or the discrimination they perpetrate on Whites, Blacks, and other US citizens. We just get to hear about a "white" guy named Zimmerman who is racist murderer of a black man from the lying corporate/state media.
People like Katrina VandenHeuvel, the ultra left wing liberal magazine editor of the Nation, should spend at least 6 months working in an agriculture/production facilility with Mexicans. She might change her stance on open boarders to All, after she's been worked over by her fellow Mexican employees (men constantly hitting on her and using sexual overtones in speaking to her; and women backstabbing her and withholding important information needed to do her job.)
This is the Congress that refuses to act on behalf of the people - on Bernanke, on monopoly, on the borders, on illegal wars, on unconstitutional Supreme Court decisions; it is the Congress’s role to order the President to arrest people who are not in the country legally. I hope this decision is the beginning of a tremendous push against the Congress.
you guys are hilarious
this is hardly a slap in the face, no matter how fervently you wish it to be
I don't really care for our current Illegal-Alien President.
Why do I think of the Nazgul when I hear of the nine in black robes?

Does this mean Arizona can ask the Kenyan residing in the white house to produces his papers?
Absolutely. Although the Secret Service (or SS, as I like to call them) can and will shoot a sheriff like a dog. If need be.
The police has been reporting people to ICE if they suspect anyone who has commited a crime to be an illegal immigrant for YEARS. It's not new. What's new is the "Papers please" nonsense. DHS has a database with fingerprints and pictures etc that they collect from every immigrant. It shouldn't be a problem cross checking driver's licenses with the DHS database. There is no need to be carrying a wallet full of IDs. Just one will do.
It costs $450 dollars if you lose you green card, and a 6 months wait while they process it. The only time I carried mine was when I had to go through booking and orientation with a new company, or going abroad. This can, and will be used as a tactic to instill fear in anyone who isn't white, even people who have been here for generations. That's the problem I have with it, there are yahoos who like the power to terrorize first, and ask questions later. Hey, someone has got to make sure those private prisons are fed.
All we needed to do was take over Mexico City during the Mexican-American War and many of these problems would not exist today. Well, at least not in Arizona.
No, it was a win for Arizona--the most important provision, the only one that can be enforced, was upheld.
I wonder how long this web site will be up ... or maybe this is the way the powers that be bury the Obama political career, not that they have a new tool in Romney. Maybe THEY realozed that they too had been deceived ... or maybe they are all for communist dictatorships? dunno...

There does seem to be more evidence linking Obama to the communist figurehead, sociopath and pervert Frank Marshall Jr. than to Obama Sr.... who is conveniently dead. This would make the entire Kenyan thing, simply misdirection that would keep people looking in the worng place, for the wrong answer.
Why would Obama not want to have a birth certificate revealed and all his records sealed? Maybe so that people do not know who he real father is (which would make his entire life, as portrayed a complete lie ... and his entire personality and political philosphy totally unsuitable for a free US republic.)
However, my guess is that Obama will raise a ton of money and spend very little of it, preferring to keep the money for himself after he "retires" from politics after this election. Seems like fraud to me.
If the police ask you questions do you have to answer? Can you lie?
The battle over the law goes to the heart of a fierce national debate between Democrats and Republicans over what to do with the roughly 11 million illegal immigrants in the country.
When will this LIE end??? 11 million? More like 25 million!
Yeah ZH, keep giving me more tough loving. So, Obama's "socialism" still not taken care by the court, so a little racism with Arizona law will do, right?

Dingaling, the people that "own" the Repubs are of the same ilk as those running FOX...You have the Master-Slave relationship backwards....
No one is denying that the Left has talking points, just that they have been no where near as effective....
I ain't going to defend CNN, they are a bunch or irrelevant hacks, whereas FOX is a different beast, Goebbels would have been amazed at what they have achieved. As for MSNBC, c'mon, does anyone really care what they have to say? I certainly don't...
