Fed. Judge upholds key element of AZ’s SB1070
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled yesterday that the fundamental provision in Arizona’s law addressing illegal immigration can proceed. That provision authorizes police to ask the status of those suspected of being in the United States illegally. Such questioning is permissible if a suspect is stopped during the investigation of another crime.
The issue has been at the center of a two-year legal battle that resulted in a June 25, 2012 U.S. Supreme Court decision, which upheld the requirement.
The daily newspaper doesn’t disappoint. In the single initial sentence in the República’s report, Arizona’s popular immigration law is described using the word “controversial” that is stuck on the keyboards of the reporters and always precedes any mention of SB1070 or its requirements. In the same sentence, the reporter deceitfully tosses in the left‘s favored “show me your papers” language to describe the law.
The newspaper, its nose out of joint, also disallowed comments following its report. It would be unthinkable to the brain trusts who set the leftwing policy that they could be forced to deal with rejoicing readers.
Five other states — Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, South Carolina and Utah, have emulated Arizona’s law.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer reacted favorably to the ruling. Her statement can be read here.

Glad to see this but the fact remains that this case should have never been in the federal courts. The feds have no constitutional authority to nullify state laws.
