San Francisco court blocks Arizona law requiring police to determine immigration status of people stopped for questioning

Arizona can’t enforce its law requiring police officers to determine the immigration status of people stopped for questioning, a federal appeals court ruled.
The U.S. Court of Appeals in San Francisco today upheld a lower court ruling that barred the central provisions of the law from taking effect.
“By imposing mandatory obligations on state and local officers, Arizona interferes with the federal government’s authority to implement its priorities and strategies in law enforcement, turning Arizona officers into state-directed [Department of Homeland Security] agents,” the appellate panel said.

And they will be overturned YET AGAIN.

The 9th Circuit is the most frequently overturned court in the land.

I think the SCOTUS secretly hates them. Except that pair of loony chicks.

Judge John T. Noonan Jr. wrote in a separate opinion that “foreign policy is not and cannot be determined by the several states.”

“That fifty individual states or one individual state should have a foreign policy is absurdity too gross to be entertained”

And you're grossly too absurd. Go write poetry with Haiku Herman: you have much in common.

Not a surprise from that looney court room.
