U.S. v. Arizona
The United States Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in U.S. v. Arizona next Wednesday. This case will examine whether federal law preempts provisions of Arizona’s controversial S.B. 1070, which among other things, allows law enforcement officers to question individuals about their immigration status after stopping them on reasonable suspicion of criminal conduct and having reasonable suspicion that the individual is an illegal alien.
For a summary of the case and comparison to last year’s Chamber of Commerce v. Whiting (albeit an interested view), see this post from the Heritage Network.
