Flash: US Supreme Court Shocks Nation by Upholding the Constitution

In 2007, the state of Arizona passed the Legal Arizona Workers Act (LAWA). The law penalizes businesses who knowingly hire illegal aliens. Penalties can range from fines up to and including the revocation of the firm’s business license.

Of course all of the liberals in Arizona and the federal government were outraged that Arizona would take such a measure to defend its borders and citizens right to jobs that were being stolen by hundreds of thousands of illegals. LAWA was challenged on the basis of constitutionality and whether or not the states have a right to establish their own immigration laws.

Our founding fathers did their best to limit the role and power of the federal government while retaining most of the rights of government for the states. In 2008, two lower courts both ruled that LAWA was constitutional, but the opponents continued to fight it and pressed on to the US Supreme Court.

Today, in what is sure to be a landmark decision, the US Supreme Court upheld Arizona’s law. Justice and Obama appointee, Sonia Sotomayor voted against the Arizona law and Obama’s other appointee, Elena Kagan, recused herself from the Court’s hearing on the matter. However, in a vote of 5-3, the Court upheld LAWA as being constitutional.

This case has tremendous implication for the Obama administration’s plans of overhauling the immigration laws and allowing nearly 15 million illegals to suddenly become citizens and have the right vote just in time for the 2012 elections. This decision paves the way for many states to pass more immigration laws which could include the denial of citizenship and the right vote in that state.

This will also have a strong impact on the challenges pending against Arizona’s SB70 Immigration bill that passed last year and caused so much controversy among illegals and liberals. This case is being challenged by the Obama administration, but in lieu of today’s decision, I would hope that the Obamanites would save taxpayer dollars and drop their challenge.

For once in a long long time, this author has to take his hat off to the US Supreme Court for having the integrity to actually defend the Constitution as they are required by law to do.

DITCH PERRY.TRANS TEXAS CORRIDOR: SEIZING MILLIONS OF AMERICAN HOMES AND FARM LAND WAS STRICTLY FOR ILLEGALS. NOT ONE SINGLE SMIDGEON FOR AMERICA. HE IS WORSE THAN POISON TO AMERICA. If we put our energy anyplace, let it be to DRAFT PAUL RYAN, who is PRO AMERICA. Mexico has done to America what muslims have done to dozens of European countries that have declared their deepest regrets for allowing the takover muslims to migrate at all to their countries. AMERICANS MUST NEVER APPROVE OF ANY ILLEGAL PRESENCE IN AMERICA! AT PRESENT 45 MILLION STRONG ! MEXICO IS RICH. Early Americans fought against worse odds, but illegals are freeloaders who won"t fight for,nor possess the intelligence to run their country. USA Leader must not have traitorous tendencies, but willing to exell criminal invaders. NO SPANISH IN OUR DOCUMENTS. NO NO.2. NO MEXICAN FLAGS FLYING IN CALIFORNIA. Hold tight to your emotions. WE WILL WIN.

Now, I am worried. If the supreme court starts honestly, fairly, and legally UPHOLDING the law, there is no telling what is next. Why, the american voters may even get on a level playing field again. That will certainly be something new. Can you imagine what politicians/bureaucrats will do if they MUST go by the law of the land? Been a long time since honesty, fairness, and openess was available to ALL. With all the fraud, out right theft(by check by politicians),sweetheart deals for personal friends and special interest groups, not to mention the insider trading by politicians and their bureaucrats that work for them. Do you suppose that kind of information is passed on to personal friends or others, by these insiders?

Congratulatons to the Supreme Court, for doing their jobs. Looks like Sotomayors true colors have shown through her fale front. I feel sure that this wise Latina woman now has paid Obama back with her vote. If I were you Ms. Justice, I would sit in my chair and do what you were paid to do, or resign with honor and respect. This might be above your level of experience. Time for the truth to out, rather than be discovered later and be drenched in eternal disgrace.

Do you think the Justices are FINALLY getting it and doing the right thing instead of ignoring the Constitution in handing down decisions? In the recent past, they've made decisions based on past decisions, Constitutional or not. How refreshing that they are actually referring to the Constitution in handing down decisions – exactly what their job description is in the first place! We're getting through to some in DC and it's scaring the hell out of the Liberal Left. They've been on the attack lately against the tea partiers and the Conservative Right. You know you're doing something right when they pull out all the stops and use the Puppet Media to directly attack groups. I say, "Bring it on". America is awake now and they know it.

Every Elected and appointed federal worker Swears an oath to uphold/defend the U.S. Constitution from ALL enemies both foreign and DOEMESTIC. What we need is a civilian citizens) "the peopless" Constitution over watch and enforcement agency in every state to Challenge the Commiecrats and Repualibs actions in congress by filing suit for every failure to support and defend and act within the confines of the constitution.It's the only way short of Armed insurection and open rebellion of ending the subterfuge and constitutioanl sabotage emmanating from capitol hill

There may be another reason for this decision. Many believe the US is headed towards another civil war. (Personally, I believe obama and the Liberals have been delibrately herding the country in that direction since January, 2009. ) The court may also see this possibility and realiize a return to Constitutional principles is the way to avoid that war. Thus, the reason for this decision.

I'm not surprised that Sotomayor voted against this. So much for the '"wise latina." Another prog/socialist/communist.

God Bless the Supreme Court for upholding the Constitution and AZ's laws. !!!!!

It is refreshing to know that the 5 of the supreme court justices believes in the rule of law as provided by the U.S. Constitution. The other 4, oh well.

It's time all the states pass laws that give the people the rights and ownership of this nation instead of Washington. The Supreme Court has sit on the bench too long without defending the Constitution or upholding the rights of the legal American.
