Thread: Volunteers Needed to Prep for Supreme Court Ruling on Arizona's Law

ALIPAC Activists!

There are some malfunctions on our website which we are aware of and hope to have remedied shortly.

We need volunteers today to take action to fight illegal immigration by preparing for our attempt to go on offense after the Supreme Court ruling in our favor on Arizona's immigration law this week.


ACTION ITEM 1

The decision by the US Supreme Court on Arizona's immigration law SB 1070 could come any day or hour. We need each of you to take the following steps to be ready.

A. Make sure you have the names, emails, and mailing addresses for your governor, state house Rep. and state senate Rep.
B. Online access to the entire list of lawmakers for your state government complete with phone numbers and emails.
C. Please send this encouraging poll to your state lawmaker contacts to test your contact information, test your readiness, and prepare your lawmakers for what we need them to do.

Sample message "Representative _______, I am calling/writing you today with this poll indicating that a large majority of Americans support Arizona's illegal immigration crackdown legislation. Please review this poll and please prepare to pass a version of this law in our state as soon as possible to protect American workers, taxpayers, students, and voters from illegal immigration."

Poll to send your state lawmakers to prepare the way for our efforts...
Poll: Most Americans think Arizona immigration law is "about right"

We need a flood of calls, emails, faxes, and letters going into state lawmakers in every state sharing this very powerful poll showing Americans support Arizona's law 2 to 1!


We need an intense response this week to have a chance here.

:15	Amy Howe: They won't announce any new decisions until Justice Alito is finished. After he finishes, the Chief Justice will then announce which Justice has the next opinion, and then that Justice will read a summary of whatever that opinion is -- First American, Stolen Valor, Arizona, etc.

10:15

Amy Howe: To answer another question, the Justices vote on the case immediately after it is argued. The senior Justice in the majority gets to decide who writes the opinion. Same for the dissent.

10:15

Tom: On the cross case, Justice Alito writes an opinion explaining that the case is interlocutory -- i.e., it could come back to them later.

10:16

Amy Howe: Here's the second and only other opinion in Arizona.

10:16

Amy Howe: Justice Kennedy announces.

10:16

Amy Howe: The Ninth Circuit is reversed in part and affirmed in part. Justice Kagan does not participate.

10:17

Amy Howe: The Court rules that Section 3, 5, and 6 are preempted.

10:17

Tom: Most of the key provisions of SB1070 (3 of 4) are invalidated. One provision is held not to be proved preempted; it must be construed.

10:18

Amy Howe: It was improper for the lower courts to enjoin Section 2(B), which requires police officers to check the legal status of anyone arrested for any crime before they can be released.

10:19

Kali: We will have more substanative analysis of the decision in Arizona v. US from Lyle later this morning or early this afternoon. We are also looking forward to guest analysis on the decision from Marc Miller and Jack Chin from Univ. of Arizona and UC Davis law schools, respectively, Lucas Guttentag of Yale & Stanford, Jay Sekulow from the ACLJ, Peter Spiro at Temple, John Eastman at Chapman, Rich Samp at the Washington Legal Foundation, and Kevin Johnson, also at UC Davis. Tune back in for their posts.

10:19

Tom: The provision that the Court says is not yet preempted is the "check your papers" provision that commands officers to check immigration status.

10:20

Amy Howe: The opinion also says that today's ruling does not foreclose other preemption and constitutional challenges to the law.

10:20

Tom: The court says that it is not clear whether application of this provision will interfere with immigration law.

10:20

Amy Howe: There are ongoing proceedings on Section 2(B) and whether it involves racial profiling; that issue was NOT before the Court today.

10:20

Kali: Here's a link to the opinion in Arizona v. US: http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions...11-182b5e1.pdf

10:21

Tom: Justice Scalia would uphold the Arizona statute in toto.

10:21

Amy Howe: Justice Kennedy is still reciting from the opinion.

10:23

Amy Howe: We do not expect any additional opinions today, so NO health care today.

10:23

Amy Howe: For our readers who are not lawyers, "preempted" means "trumped," in essence.

10:24

Tom: We should have word for you on what other day(s) the Court is going to issue opnioins soon.

10:25

Amy Howe: Justice Scalia is beginning to read from his dissent.

10:26

Amy Howe: Justices Scalia, Thomas, and Alito have each filed opinions in Arizona.

10:26

Amy Howe: Justice Scalia began his dissent by saying that he would uphold all parts of the Arizona law.

10:26

Tom: Justice Scalia is not only dissenting from the bench, but he has produced a written copy of the bench statement for the press. It is 7 pages long.

Supreme Court Invalidates 3 of 4 SB 1070 Provisions

Monday, June 25, 2012, 10:51 AM EDT

The Supreme Court today invalidated three of the four provisions of Arizona’s SB 1070 law. In a 5-3 decision in Arizona. Et. Al. v. United States, the Court upheld, for now, the provision requiring police, after a lawful stop, to check the immigration status of a suspected illegal alien. The Court found preempted provisions that: make failure to comply with federal alien-registration requirements a state misdemeanor; establish a misdemeanor for an illegal alien to seek or engage in work in the State; and authorize state and local officers to arrest without a warrant a person an officer has probable cause to believe has committed a public offense that makes the person remova¬ble from the United States.
