PHOENIX - A spokesman for Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says the state will go to a federal appeals court Thursday to appeal a federal judge's ruling blocking the heart of the state's new immigration law.

Brewer spokesman Paul Senseman says the state will appeal Judge Susan Bolton's ruling to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, asking the appellate court to lift the injunction and allow the blocked provisions to take effect.

Senseman says the appeal will ask the 9th Circuit to act quickly.

Earlier, Brewer called the ruling "a temporary bump in the road." In a Wednesday Twitter posting , Brewer said she will "battle all the way to the Supreme Court if necessary, for the right to protect the citizens of Arizona."

In her preliminary injunction, Bolton delayed provisions that required immigrants to carry their papers and banned illegal immigrants from soliciting employment in public places -- a move aimed at day laborers.

On the news they said that if Brewer request a Speedy Review by the Supreme Court this could be before the Supreme Court in weeks or months instead of years.
