Arizona Taking Immigration Laws To The Supreme Court

Arizona Governor Jan Brewer has announced that the state's controversial immigration laws will be taken before the Supreme Court, and that the state's appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals decision will be lodged before the July 11th deadline.

I don't think that anyone was surprised by the 9th Circuit's decision, though they have couched it terms that said enforcement of Immigration is in the sole enforcement purview of the Federal government. Thus, they have ruled that the Arizona Legislation is unconstitutional. It's an interesting, if flawed, opinion.

Arizona's more pragmatic response is that the Federal Government has patently failed to stop the problem, and they are aiming to reduce the Federal burden in the matter by actually enforcing the law. A radical concept, to say the least.

I am certain that other states are keeping an eye on this battle before getting down from fence-sitting positions. We'll be keeping an eye on this one.
