Breaking news.

Judge Bolton said the law had to be put on hold until "courts resolve the issues". What, exactly, are these "issues"?

Judge blocks parts of Arizona immigration law

PHOENIX – A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona's immigration law from taking effect, delivering a last-minute victory to opponents of the crackdown.

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

The judge also put on hold parts of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places.

[NOTE: The judge blocked parts of the AZ state law. But Federal law still requires immigrants to carry copies of their immigration papers. -Ed.]

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled that the controversial sections should be put on hold until the courts resolve the issues.

The ruling came just as police were making last-minute preparations to begin enforcement of the law at 12:01 a.m. Thursday and protesters were planning a large demonstrations to speak out against the measure. At least one group planned to block access to federal offices, daring officers to ask them their immigration status.

The volume of the protests will be likely be turned down a few notches because of the ruling by Bolton, a Clinton appointee who suddenly became a crucial figure in the immigration debate when she was assigned the seven lawsuits filed against the Arizona law.

Lawyers for the state contend the law was a constitutionally sound attempt by Arizona — the busiest illegal gateway into the country — to assist federal immigration agents and lessen border woes such as the heavy costs for educating, jailing and providing health care for illegal immigrants.

Arizona needs to ignore the obviously partisan hack of a Clinton appointee judge and move forward with the law. It mirrored federal law.

I don't think there are words for how frustrating this is!!!!!! They don't even have to carry papers?!!! And how can there be discrimination? *scream*

You should check out the judge's actual written ruling in this case. It can be found at:

http://www.foxnews.com/projects/pdf/072810_ArizonaRuling.pdf

The judge points out that SB1070 is not a freestanding law itself, but is simply a group of amendments to existing Arizona state law.

First the judge says that there are parts of SB1070 that she does NOT block. And she lists them:


Portions of Section 2 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 11-1051(A): prohibiting Arizona officials, agencies, and political subdivisions from limiting enforcement of federal immigration laws

A.R.S. § 11-1051(C)-(F): requiring that state officials work with federal officials with regard to unlawfully present aliens

A.R.S. § 11-1051(G)-(L): allowing legal residents to sue any state official, agency, or political subdivision for adopting a policy of restricting enforcement of federal immigration laws to less than the full extent permitted by federal law

Section 4 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 13-2319: amending the crime of human smuggling

Portion of Section 5 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 13-2928(A)-(B): creating a crime for stopping a motor vehicle to pick up day laborers and for day laborers to get in a motor vehicle if it impedes the normal movement of traffic

Section 7 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 23-212: amending the crime of knowing employment of unauthorized aliens

Section 8 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 23-212.01: amending the crime of intentional employment of unauthorized aliens

Section 9 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 23-214: amending the requirements for checking employment eligibility

Section 11 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 41-1724: creating the gang and immigration intelligence team enforcement mission fund


Then she says that there are parts of SB1070 that Obama is likely to succeed in challenging, and so she's blocking them until this is resolved. And she names those, too:


Portion of Section 5 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 13-2929: creating a separate crime for a person in violation of a criminal offense to transport or harbor an unlawfully present alien or encourage or induce an unlawfully present alien to come to or live in Arizona

Section 10 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 28-3511: amending the provisions for the removal or impoundment of a vehicle to permit impoundment of vehicles used in the transporting or harboring of unlawfully present aliens

Portion of Section 2 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 11-1051(B): requiring that an officer make a reasonable attempt to determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested if there is a reasonable suspicion that the person is unlawfully present in the United States, and requiring verification of the immigration status of any person arrested prior to releasing that person

Section 3 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 13-1509: creating a crime for the failure to apply for or carry alien registration papers

Portion of Section 5 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 13-2928(C): creating a crime for an unauthorized alien to solicit, apply for, or perform work

Section 6 of S.B. 1070 A.R.S. § 13-3883(A)(5): authorizing the warrantless arrest of a person where there is probable cause to believe the person has committed a public offense that makes the person removable from the United States


One fellow told me that, while the judge has blocked SB1070's **REQUIREMENT** that Arizona state officers must ask for someone's immigrations status under certain constitutions... she has not FORBIDDEN the cops to ask for it. I don't know if that's true.

Does SB1070 give PERMISSION to Arizona state and local cops, to ask for IDs of people they encounter, separately from the section where it REQUIRES them to ask?

If so, then the judge's blocking the REQUIREMENT, doesn't block the AUTHORIZATION. And cops can still ask for immigration status of someone they run into who was speeding, shoplifting etc. if they want to.

It's all designed to delay all action until after Nov. The dark lord needs those illegal voters. I can't believe anyone thought there would be impartiality on the part of the judge. Federal judges are either liberal or conservative, NONE are neutral. To figure out how the judge will decide just look at who appointed them.

[KarlMarx]

This ruling just proves my point, ladies and gentleman. The November elections mean little.

We have to get the culture back otherwise all is lost....

and who am I kidding? It already is!

The liberal mindset has poisoned our society to such an extent that even our borders, our language, and our very core beliefs mean absolutely nothing.

We are destined for the ash heap of history. When we go, the light of freedom will perish with us. Humanity will then begin its descent into ignorance and servitude. Eventually, the Chinese, the Moslems, or some other power will take over. The dark ages will visit us once again.

Then, all of the things that liberals claim they hate the most will become everyday occurrences, women will become second class citizens, people will be enslaved, most of the population will be illiterate, disease and poverty will be a way of life, there will be no freedom except for an elite class.

Perhaps, a thousand years from now, a small group of colonists of a yet to exist empire will band together, begin a revolution to throw off the shackles of tyrrany... and write "We hold these truths to be self evident...." and
And they will be self evident after a thousand years of being downtrodden....

but they aren't self evident to people like Judge Suzie.

Given the ratings of his TV show are lower then Obama's approval ratings; Chris Matthews could be Obama's guy to "fix" the immigration problem

The moonbats will fuck that up over time also.

The good thing about the ruling, it's more likely that Democrats will lose many more votes than they might gain. This AZ law has been favored more than 2:1 in AZ and strongly throughout the country.

People are not happy they were ignored about health care, stimulus spending, etc., this is one more reason more that are angry, will vote.

The reason Matthews is loosing viewers is because if you don't agree with him you are a radical right-winger or "not being serious".

He asked the man whether we should have a national ID card. Hell the libs can't even agree that drivers licenses should be used at polling places because minorities would be affected somehow.
A SS card is a national ID and identity theft is rampant.
We have e-verify, but not everyone uses it.
The program to check the status of EVERY prisoner won't be in use everwhere until at least 2012.

Why have ANOTHER program instituted???? Enforce the laws already on the books, require everyone to use e-verify and get the prisoner status checks in jails sooner than 2 years.

Another reason Chris Matthews (and MSNBC) are losing viewers is because most people do NOT like to see a slanted and biased presentation of the news. MENBC has given up even PRETENDING to present an unbiased presentation.

Their entire lineup are far left rabid Obama supporters. They shout down conservatives who oppose Obama, and have few people with a different POV

That is why Fox News destroys MSNBC and CNN
