Supreme Court upholds key part of Arizona for now; strikes down other provisions

• Washington Post
The Supreme Court on Monday said states may play a limited role in enforcing laws on illegal immigration, upholding part of Arizona’s controversial law but striking other portions it said intruded on the federal government’s powers. The justices let stand for now the part of the law that requires police to check the immigration status of anyone they detain or arrest if they have “reasonable suspicion” that the person is in the country illegally.

If you go back to all my comments on this issue, for the U.S. Supreme Court to strike down this controversial Arizona state immigration law that violates the Federal Preemption Doctrine, was to me then, and it is to me now, a foregone conclusion.
