And when we're talking about the intent behind the law, we're not talking about what would hold up in front of a judge. We're talking about racist, asshat, lawmakers and lobbyists targeting Hispanics in campaign based on fear and prejudice to make political hay by "making a stand" on illegal immigration. All of which serve to do nothing to actually solve the problem, but it sure sounds good to all those people who are now afraid, "fed-up" and convinced that if it weren't for those immigrants they'd all have jobs and McMansions.
I don't have to drag the law in front of the Supreme Court to say it's a bad law. It's pretty obvious it's a bad law. Even if the federal government lost its case (which I sincerely doubt it will), it'd still be a bad law.

This is starting to sound like a rerun from yesterday.
