we got three days and six hours to put on our case. they asked compelling questions. they asked tough questions of both sides. but the main questions that they asked made me feel very confident that they saw our point of view. that they took this very seriously. and that they realized this would be the greatest overreach of federal power in our entire history. bill: how do they then rule? do they throw everything out or just a mandate or what? what do you believe? we are very confident they will rule in our favor. again, you will never hear me criticize the highest court in the land. i m a practicing lawyer and i will not do that. but we have faith in the court. and of course we believe that they should throw out the entire mandate. meaning that the mandate itself is unconstitutional.
you can imagine as soon as police officers begin to carry it out, the law goes into effect and they see how it works in practice a lawsuit will he immediately be filed. several groups have indicated that is the plan. bill: i m going to let you cut free for a moment. jamie: i d rather not i need to ask one question of shannon. you said it s going to go back to the ninth circuit and that they had initially enjoyed this provision. are you saying that the court didn t overrule that, but is asking for further interpretation? what is it for the ninth circuit to decide? it sounds like what is going to happen is it goes back to the ninth circuit, you ve got it right on the three provisions that you re saying were enjoined, that part is property the fight over section 2b, the court said it stands for now, it doesn t for close other potential challenges. whether or not they want the ninth circuit to do anything at
proper warrant, that has been struck down by the court. bill: this can be a little confusing too. yes. bill: because section 2b and section 6 are quite similar. i just want to read section 2b so our audience understands what we re talking about here. it requires that state and local police officers attempt to determine the immigration status of any individual stopped or detained if the officer reasonably suspects the person is in the united states illegally. and now aour you re giving the police officer the authority to use their judgment, if they suspect they are here illegally, and upon which basis that would occur is something that i guess would come down to the local level of a police officer standing on the side of a road if there were a traffic stop. it continues now. it also requires that law enforcement officers determine the immigration status of anyone who s been arrested before the person can be released. so before they are able to drive on or go home, or continue onto the
have some comprehensive immigration reform. how are we going to deal with the millions of people here who are here illegally? we will have to deal with this and that means the senate is going to have to move some of the bills we send over so the house and senate can work together to resolve this. this and the healthcare bill point out the importance that you cannot have a congress, house and senate not moving things forward, not sitting down together. we need to be working with the president of the united states. it points again to the importance of this fall s election, very different approaches with regard to how we are going to handle these key issues. jamie: i want to bring folks one second, governor jan brewer said they needed sb1070 because the federal government was not enforcing the immigration law and a number of these provisions. look, they threw all of it in here hoping some of it would stick, and maybe the court was stuck on the fact that that requirement that they said the
vicious verbal assault that occurred in this case and has occurred in other cases by the way. it was vicious. it s all about the first amendment rights and i guess that the supreme court s ruling is that even hurtful speech is still free. at least that s what they found it overwhelmingly 8-1. it doesn t make sense, does it, though? i mean, it doesn t make that as we teased before we came to this segment that kids in high school will be told to take down the 10 commandments from their locker but these wack-a-doodles can go out and destroy a family s life after they ve already lost their son serving in iraq. doesn t seem to make sense to me. if that s what free speech is all about, i guess 8-1 that s what the supreme court anti-gay signs, anti-christian signs, anti-jew signs. thank god for dead soldiers. that s some of the signs you see. you are all going to hell. albert snyder is the dad of matt snyder killed in iraq in 2006. now, not only does the supreme court overturn the o
