PHOENIX – A judge has blocked the most controversial sections of Arizona's new immigration law from taking effect Thursday, handing a major legal victory to opponents of the crackdown.

The law will still take effect Thursday, but without many of the provisions that angered opponents — including sections that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.

Karma would be if this judge is the victim of a crime perpetrated by an illegal alien.

“not regulated by or based on law.”

Yep thats right like Rush Just said she didn't rule on the law itself, becuase the Law prohibits Racial Profiling.

sigh the stupidly of these people is sometimes are to take :(

Arizona has two choices IMHO. One, since this is only an injunction, fight on; or two, draft new legislation to correct.

I believe that Arizona does not provide driver’s licenses to illegals, so the law could be changed to specifically address confirming the identity of ALL persons, stopped for other reasons. Then it is not only an immigration law because there are other reason a person may not carry proper ID. The law should not single out immigration status but should include checking for wants, warrants and any reason a person maybe without proper ID.

Here in GAYsachusetts, “marsha” Coakley made a statement awhile back saying that - it is NOT illegal to be illegal in MA - ??????? - see my tagline..........

Obama is going to wish he lost this decision. This will only galvanize voters for the GOP.

That was my first thought. This is actually very bad news for the Dems. The pissed-off center-right voters, plus the disillusioned independents who voted for the Kenyan (the majority of voters) who are already motivated to go to the polls in November, will be really enraged now. The libs may celebrate now but they aren't going to know what hit them in November.

National ID Card ???

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

That is what i have said again and again!!!

THE FIRST TIME ONE DIRTY NUKE CROSSES THE MEXICAN BORDER...THE BORDER WILL BE SHUT DOWN IN 24 HOURS AND ORDERS WILL BE SHOOT TO KILL!

[sonic109]

Im with you .What are the feds going to do arrest citizens for arresting illegals?

[Parley Baer]

Al Queda just won. You can’t ask a suspected terrorist for their ID. This is no doubt an activist judge. If the Republicans plays this correctly this ruling will hurt the dimoKKKRATS in November.

I am no longer convinced there is a critical mass of intelligent, aware Americans to administer said Bad Karma.

This is even less likely with the upcoming dilution of the voting base with racist Hispanics who will vote Democrat in > 85% numbers.

[NeverForgetBataan]

How soon can this get to SCOTUS??

[TaraP]

Exactly!

We have an *Illegal Alien* running the Country from the White House!

Wether or not he is a Kenyan Illegal or a Demon Illegal
he is illegal in everu sense of the word!

[azcap]

Hayworth needs to verify (I’d bet my lunch he did) that McCain voted for this Clinton Judge and then pound the airwaves with it.

[SonOfDarkSkies]

I’ll bet the appeal has been in the works since the DOJ announced it would take AZ to court.

It's interesting that I've not seen any reference to US Code 1252c:

TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part V > § 1252c

§ 1252c. Authorizing State and local law enforcement officials to arrest and detain certain illegal aliens

How Current is This?

(a) In general

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, to the extent permitted by relevant State and local law, State and local law enforcement officials are authorized to arrest and detain an individual who—

(1) is an alien illegally present in the United States; and

(2) has previously been convicted of a felony in the United States and deported or left the United States after such conviction,

but only after the State or local law enforcement officials obtain appropriate confirmation from the Immigration and Naturalization Service of the status of such individual and only for such period of time as may be required for the Service to take the individual into Federal custody for purposes of deporting or removing the alien from the United States.

(b) Cooperation

The Attorney General shall cooperate with the States to assure that information in the control of the Attorney General, including information in the National Crime Information Center, that would assist State and local law enforcement officials in carrying out duties under subsection (a) of this section is made available to such officials.

1252c specifically authorizes states to arrest and detain certain illegal aliens. How does this judge expect the states to comply with 1252c if they cannot first determine if the person is an illegal alien, and then determine if said illegal alien has committed a felony?

You are correct that it is just a preliminary injunction. However one of the criteria a judge must apply in granting a preliminary injunction is that there is a high probability that the plaintiff will ultimjately succeed on the merits of the case. Put simply, she has said there is a good chance she will find for the Feds.

Telemundo and Univision news are running gloating, non-stop coverage of this, interviewing illegal aliens in front of the Arizona Capitol. And now Telemundo is interviewing someone in Mexico City who is gloating. My head hurts.

[They have now forced us to racially profile. Anyone who looks hispanic has got to be treated as an illegal alien since we have no way to determine if they are legal or not.

Do the legal latinos realize the damage they have just done to themselves? There are no longer any legitimate reasons to hire a hispanic. ]

You are exactly right. Now how about lawsuits from whites when a Latino officer asks them the time of day. Wouldn’t that be racist as well?

[John O]

We are very closely approaching the time when it will be open season on illegals and their supporters. If the federal government will not fulfill their constitutional role to defend this country WE THE PEOPLE will be forced to.

I pray each day that God will kill the enemies of our country.

Pray for Obama. Psalm 109:8-9
