Jan Brewer's calling it a victory, which strikes me as pretty Baghdad Bob-ish. It seems the law has been effectively declawed, the one "key provision" left in is kind of pointless and unenforcable without the other provisions.

But that one "key provision" was the most controversial provision that brought all of this attention.

As long as they get rid of the provision forcing people to carry immigration documents with them, I will be happy. That part of the law is ridiculous and makes immigrants targets of criminals who would like to steal their documents to sell it. And then later on it can be challenged for racial profiling, which will inevitably happen. Anyone who thinks otherwise is either extremely naive, or doesn't really care whether it happens.

So, you want Title 8, Section 1304, subsection (e) of the United States Code, to be struck down?  On what basis?

But that's not a state law that's preempted by federal law.
