WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has sustained Arizona’s law that penalizes businesses for hiring workers who are in the United States illegally, rejecting arguments that states have no role in immigration matters.
By a 5-3 vote, the court said Thursday that federal immigration law gives states the authority to impose sanctions on employers who hire unauthorized workers.

Guess who recused herself? Why, none other than Justice Kagan, who worked on the case while serving as Президент Обама’s Solicitor General. Who knows…she might actually do the same when Обамаcare comes up for a vote.
And of course, there’s no way of telling how this ruling might affect SB 1070’s ascent up the appellate ladder. We’ll have to wait and see.
