If it turns out to be true, there's going to be an increase in BP med dosings today.

And perhaps more antipsychotics as well.

MSNBC talking head believes this will end up in SCOTUS.

Yep. Its breaking on several sites now.

This means there appears to be some flaws in the law as a whole.

Ok, some details courtesy of the AP.

PHOENIX (AP) ― A judge has blocked the most controversial sections of Arizona's new immigration law from taking effect Thursday, handing a major legal victory to opponents of the crackdown.

The law will still take effect Thursday, but without many of 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 a part 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.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton put those controversial sections on hold until the courts resolve the issues.

Daily Kos front page commentary:

Pete Williams is reporting on MSNBC that the ruling has come down, and the judge has put an injunction on some of the most controversial elements of the bill: enforcing the section requiring police from demanding documents, the requirement for legal immigrants to carry them, making it illegal for people to hire day laborers that might be undocumented, and allowing cops to make arrests without warrants if they think the suspect is in the country illegally.

from the Arizona Republic:

Key parts of Senate Bill 1070 that will not go into effect Thursday:

• The portion of the law that requires an officer make a reasonable attempt to determine the immigration status of a person stopped, detained or arrested if there's reasonable suspicion they're in the country illegally.

• The portion that creates a crime of failure to apply for or carry "alien-registration papers."

• The portion that makes it a crime for illegal immigrants to solicit, apply for or perform work. (This does not include the section on day laborers.)

• The portion that allows for a warrantless arrest of a person where there is probable cause to believe they have committed a public offense that makes them removable from the United States.

The ruling says that law enforcement still must enforce federal immigration laws to the fullest extent of the law when SB 1070 goes into effect at 12:01 a.m. Thursday. Individuals will still be able to sue an agency if they adopt a policy that restricts such enforcement.

Bolton did not halt the part of the law that creates misdemeanors crimes for harboring and transporting illegal immigrants.

Bolton's ruling followed hearings on three of seven federal lawsuits challenging SB 1070. Plaintiffs include the U.S. Department of Justice, the American Civil Liberties Union, Phoenix and Tucson police officers, municipalities, illegal immigrants and non-profit groups.

She denied legal requests by Gov. Jan Brewer, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and several other defendants seeking to have the lawsuits dismissed because, they argued, the plaintiffs did not prove that they would be harmed by the law if it went into effect.

If that's true with the current balance you already know the results will be 5-4 in favor of 1040.

[Sofiyya 1,687]

Odd that she would enjoin the part requiring immigrants to carry and present status papers. That's required by federal law.

If that's true with the current balance you already know the results will be 5-4 in favor of 1040.

Yup. And you mean 1070 don't you? You have taxes on your mind?
