“The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws.” ~ Gaius Cornelius Tacitus
Your Excellency, Mr. President, in your wonderful and exalted position as leader of the great nation of Egypt, may you stand courageous in revealing the truth about the evils of Zionism and condemning it, as this is of immense and immeasurable importance.
[...]
We, as Torah true Jews, oppose the very existence of the Zionist State of Israel. The Zionists do not represent the Jewish people in any manner whatsoever. They have no right to speak in the name of the Jewish people. Therefore, their words, their declarations and actions are not in any way representative of the Jewish people.
This is because the Zionist's seizing of power over the Holy Land is antithetical to Jewish law, and the Zionists do not behave like Jews at all. They desecrate the sanctity of the Holy Land.
In the near future, with the return of full Palestinian sovereignty over the entire Holy Land, we are confident, with the help of the Almighty, that the Palestinian regime will behave towards us with goodness and justice.
Just as those previous regimes in Palestine, though they were of the Islamic faith, still in all, they fully accepted the Jewish residents who where strict in the observance of the Jewish religion and so it will once more be relived; Jew and Arab will again coexist peacefully.
We, as religious Jews, will have the full right to practice our religion without any disturbances. Together we will work to see the blossoming of the Holy Land, to the prosperity of both peoples; Arabs and Jews alike, with trust, peace, and tranquility.

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:

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.

The suit cites the state's public-records law, which holds that "the initial report of the officer or the officers investigating a complaint ... shall be a public record." In addition, it says, courts "have consistently held" that the entire report must be public, including information about the victim [La. R.S. 44:3(4)(a)(b)(i)-(vii)]. The only exception is when the report identifies someone as the victim of sexual abuse, the suit says. ~ read more
