9th Circuit Upholds Blocking of Arizona Immigration Law

Remember that controversial Immigration Law that Arizona passed a while back? Well, the most controversial provisions of it were blocked by a federal judge and Arizona appealed. The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals held yesterday that the lower court was correct.

Arizona governor Jan Brewer is considering whether or not to appeal to the Supreme Court.

This is an important issue especially for states in the southwest that consider themselves under siege by illegal immigrants. Even though I sometimes find the decisions of the current Supreme Court questionable, I think it is necessary to bring the case to the court in order to get a final resolution.
