[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 987419, member: 17969"] In another victory for president OBAMA, the US SUPREME court has thrown out the MAJORITY of the Arizona immigration law. """"The Supreme Court on Monday struck down key parts of Arizona’s immigration law, and upheld one controversial piece of it as constitutional. In a 5-3 [URL="http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/11pdf/11-182b5e1.pdf"]ruling[/URL] handed down by Justices Anthony Kennedy, the high court held that most of the provisions being challenged encroached on turf that is constitutionally reserved for the federal government. The court overturned parts of the law that criminalize one’s presence in Arizona without documentation, criminalize working or looking for work without legal status, and permit police to arrest people without a warrant if there’s suspicion that they’ve committed a deportable crime. But the provision of the law permitting police to check a person’s immigration papers during lawful encounters was deemed valid and not a preemption of federal law. Joining Justice Kennedy in the majority were John Roberts, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor. Justice Elena Kagan, who worked on the issue as Obama’s solicitor general, did not participate in the case. Arizona argued that the law cooperatively assists the U.S. with immigration enforcement, but the court mostly agreed with the Obama administration that key parts of the law encroach on the federal government’s exclusive right to make policy on the matter.
