see a model here in arizona -- in arizona -- in arizona. i'm not familiar, precisely, with what i said, but i stand by what i said, whatever it was. >>> today, the crazy anti-constitutional thinking of arizona governor jan brewer got smacked down by the united states supreme court. two republican-appointed justices, including the chief justice, joined clinton and obama appointees on the supreme court to throw out three out of four provisions of an arizona law, and left the fourth provision hanging by a legal thread that they will surely cut as soon as a case on the enforcement of that provision makes its way back up to the supreme court. much of what you're about to hear may be in contradiction with much of what you may have heard about this case today. there have been many headlines and comments today saying that the supre court upheld the most controversial element of the law. it did not. there have been many headlines and comments indicating that this supreme court upheld the papers, please provision of the law. it did not. the court str

he used e-verify as means of employment verification. >> you see a model here in arizona. >> arizona's requirement that the records be kept for three years was struck down. the top democrat on capitol hill used romney's own words against him. "the idea that such an unconstitutional law" should serve as a model for national reform is far outside the american main stream. romney never called arizona's law a federal model. he called it a model for other states when the federal government does not act. chairman of the house judiciary committee put it this way. "today's ruling essentially put answer end to immigration enforcement since the states no longer can step in and fill the void created by the obama administration." starting with the president's decision to stop supporting some imlegal immigrants two weeks ago, democrats try to use immigration as web issue against romney. latest gallup poll, hispanic voters say healthcare is the top issue. unemployment is second at 19%. economic growth is third. gap between rich and poor fourth. migration is fifth. 12%. president has a lead among his

arizona is ready. we know that eyes of the world will be upon us. >> that 8-0 vote was because elena kagan recused herself on the case. mitt romney was in arizona for a fundraiser yesterday, issued a brief statement about the court's ruling. he said nothing about whether or not he agreed. writing only that president obama had failed to provide leadership. a traveling spokesman nick gosha was reportedly asked for more clarity on the position. >> . >> this debate is spun from the president failing to address this issue. so each state is left and has the power to draft and to enact immigration laws. >> we've governor again each state has the right within the constitution to craft their own immigration laws. >> later on last night romney told a room of about 200 supporters, i would have preferred to see the supreme court give more latitude to the states, not less. and there are states now under this decision have less authority, less latitude to enforce immigration laws. you remember in february during the

i don't approve of the arizona law. i think it's the wrong approach. >> second, his campaign believes turning out the latino vote could make the difference in november. colorado, nevada, virginia and florida, where there's a growing number of potential latino voters. many of the would-be latino supporters are angry he has not prioritized immigration reform until now. the president just announced a new policy that certain kids brought here illegally by their parents are now safe from deportation for two years. >> it is the right thing to do. >> and with the arizona ruling, the president can anyway tell latino audiences he fought for them in the nation's highest court. >> we said, yes, we can. now today the president also expressed concern that one part of the law that the supreme court left standing could lead to civil rights violations. he also emphasized that he is committed to tight border security, careful balancing acts for a very tricky political issue. >> we were talking about this earlier today. when you look at

arizona youth was very angered in 2010 by sb-1070, and the arizona youth is starting to flex its political muscle. we've seen them flex their political muscle in the streets, and what we see different organizations do is harness that power and moving towards registration drives and turnout. i think that we're going to see some interesting shifts in arizona in 2012, and also a longer term move for arizona and states that we previously wouldn't have thought were in play for democrats. >> real quickly, victoria, i want to read part of the statement by governor jan brewer we got moments ago as we started the show. she said in respect to sb-1070 and the what the supreme court has said that today's decision is a victory for the rule of law and the 10th amendment and all americans who believe in the right and responsibility of states to defend their citizens. it goes on to say that while grateful for this legal victory, today is an opportunity to reflect on our journey and focus on the true task ahead, the implementation and enforcement of this law in an even-hand manner that lives up to the high

arizona did not ask for this fight. nor did it seek the task of having to confront illegal immigration. we cannot forget that we are here today because the federal government has failed the american people regarding immigration policy. has failed to protect its citizens, has failed to preserve the rule of law, and has failed to secure our borders. the failure to secure or border has and arizona without question bears the brunt of that failure. we also cannot forget that president obama and his party have both houses in congress for two years and could have secured our borders and fulfilled the promise to fix our broken immigration system. they failed. and in response, arizona had no other choice but to act and arizona did so by following, not changing, federal law. instead of devoting resources to suing states like arizona, the federal government should have spent time, money and energy on fixing the problem. so today is a day when the key components of our efforts to protect the citizens of arizona, to take up the figh

stay out, arizona. we don't want your help. >> jay, so arizona -- >> go ahead. >> arizona has a 1-800 number to report police officers doing their lawful job. at the same time that's what the federal government has done here. at the same time under eric holder as attorney general the united states department of justice was running guns into mexico and said they -- what do they do? they sue arizona on the immigration case, that's where they are spending the resources and now they are saying sorry, arizona, if you find somebody illegally here, too bad. we around going to follow-up at all. >> am i talking to too brilliant lawyers, both of you here, and you are basically saying the president of the united states is saying a jackhammer to the concept of checks and balances in the separation of powers in an oath he was sworn to uphold or is that a stretch? >> i don't think it's a stretch. i don't think separation of powers means very much for this particular president. i think he wants to get the case across

the other decision is in the arizona v. united states case on the arizona law requiring that police check immigration status of anyone who they arrest. justice kennedy announcing that decision. just is kagan -- justice kagan -- the court found it was improper for a lower court's to enjoin section 2b. a major part of the arizona law invalidated by the court. this is the ninth circuit decision that was affirmed in part and the second and only decision from the supreme court today. there will be other decision days this week. we will be there until we know the outcome of the health-care decision. we'll take your reactions once the results are known. >> we will end our live coverage from the supreme court on this monday morning. we will be back later this week, wednesday or thursday to keep watch on the supreme court. right now we're going to bring you coverage of the oral argument in the major case decided today, arizona v. united states. the court upheld a portion of it and invalidated other portions. more details will become

arizona decision. by 5-3 the justices upheld the most controversial part of the law, requiring police to check the immigration status of anyone they stop and suspect is not in the u.s. legally. the court rejecting the claim that's only the federal government's job. swing justice, anthony kennedy sided with court conservatives, writing for the majority. the mandatory nature of the arizona status checks does not interfere with the federal immigration scheme. consultation between federal and state officials is an important feature of the immigration system. that's what arizona's republican governor, jan brewer, had argued. >> this is the day we have been waiting for. and, make no mistake, arizona is ready. civil rights will be protected. racial profiling will not be tolerated. >> reporter: but opponents of the so-called show me your papers provision will fight on. >> i believe it's the most venomous part based on race, based on nationality and based on racial profiling. >> reporter: and the high court mad

what they said to arizona is drop dead, arizona. drop dead and go away. we are going to ignore you. >> is arizona the only state that you know of that's had the 287g agreement stopped today? >> yes, it is. we verified that and checked and arizona is the only state that it was rescinded on. >> well, the president must be a little bit concern about your state because not long after your press conference and not long after the 287g was cut off, the department of justice set up a telephone hot line and intake e-mail for the public to report potential civil rights concerns related to the implementation of arizona sb1070. so apparently the department of justice, they are worried you are going to do something. >> well, it's like they are baiting, i guess, people to participate in this. i have all the confidence in the world in our law enforcement and they will be held accountable. there will be no racial discriminations, no one's civil rights will be abused. for the federal government and the department of justice to go out in this manner and to encourage, i wou

but if in fact somebody who does not belong in this country is in arizona, arizona has no power? what does sovereignty mean if it does not include the ability to defend your borders? >> your honor, the framers vested in the national government the authority over immigration because they understood that the way this nation treats citizens of other countries is a vital aspect of our foreign relations, the national government, and not individual states -- >> it's still up to the national government. arizona is not trying to kick out anybody that the federal government has already said do not belong here. no state shall without the consent of congress lay impost or duties on imports and exports, except, it says, what may be absolutely necessary for executing its inspection laws. the constitution recognizes that there is such a thing as state borders, and the states can police their borders, even to the point of inspecting incoming shipments to exclude diseased material. >> but they cannot do what arizona is seeking to do here, your honor, which is to elevate one consideration above a

mitt romney is in arizona this hour. he said today's decision underscores the need for a president who will lead on this critical issue and work on a bipartisan to pursue a national strategy. president obama said he is pleased but concerned about the part of the law that was upheld that jeff toobin and i were talking about. he said what this decision makes unmistakably clear is congress must act on immigration reform. a patch work of state laws is not a solution to our broken immigration system. it's part of the problem. john king joins me. john, a little bit it seems like for both side sides, what is th impact? >> i think it's a to be determined. isn't it delicious that governor romney happens to be in arizona today. it will be interesting to see if he speaks publicly. that's a state that the obama campaign was watching closely. we lean at romney right now is to grow to the latino population. how will this impact latino mobilization. they are glad three of the divisions are struck down but they are furious that 2b was l

arizona has a very serious problem, this decision does not help arizona. it's clear that a majority of the court said three of those provisions are unconstitutional, that's the law of the land now. the one involving the stop, ask and determine status is constitutional, but you've got a president through executive order that is basically making that null and void. the states are in an awful hard place. to make this -- this isn't about ro mitt romney, this is about the supreme court's decision and what arizona was trying to do. at the end of the day, the rule of law is the rule of law. the supreme court made a decision. >> a quarter of the time, a conservative court has declared unconstitutional at least 80% of what was in the arizona law, one. two, in terms of the federal responsibility everybody agrees the federal government should take action we should get comprehensive immigration reform, but to the point that is made about president obama's recent decision not to deport, to use the discretion not to deport people who were brought here at a very young ag

the arizona decision, what's your take? >> well, i think the ball's now thrown back to congress because the supreme court, essentially the majority opinion, the kennedy opinion embraces the obama administration's claim that they have unlimited discretion to ignore immigration law and states have no authority in this area. and the majority opinion -- saying that congress can delegate to the state's specific authority. there's all sorts of provigszs, and instead the kennedy opinion cites the morton memo, the so-called morton mem owe, we have the right to anything we want and nobody can stop us. if you're a taxpayer looking for guidance, the only place left now and this is what romney needs to go back to, real reform will happen in congress as to how the federal-state enforcement strategy needs to work. the supreme court had a great opportunity to really provide some guidance to give us a real structure that would work. what they did, though, was essentially say, just like the case in 1982, taxpayers are going to pay billions

arizona really doesn't have the right to decide that. i think that that's something that the courts will look at when this case pres as well. >> does this put a lot of people in a dangerous situation? >> i think a lot of the impact of the law is largely symbolic in the sense that it does suggest to people who are brown skinned, people of color that there's going fob a special eye on them. i would emphasize the point that the court did not say the law is necessarily going to be applied in a constitutional way. it said, let's wait and see. there's a lot of pressure from the federal government and sift rights groups to keep the pressure on and to make sure that this law is enforced in an even-handed way. >> how long do you think -- i'm going to bring our panel back in. do you think we'll see things happen that can be used as political fodder by either side? >> i think very possibly so in these red states if anti-immigration forces are able to get show me your papers laws passed through the state legislatures and if that gets a lot of press

ifill: not only for arizona. how do you walk the line that the court laid out today which is a law that can... that complements federal law but doesn't supersede it as the court said so much of the arizona statute did. >> well we now have some clear guidance from the court. we know that the arrest provisions of section 2-b the main provision we've been talking about here, those are perfectly fine. we've got a number of other states that have already implemented them and are in circuit courts right now. there are a bunch of states waiting in the wings to do the same thing. those can move ahead. if a state wanted to do the criminalization of seeking employment, the supreme court has said no. one other thing that is really important about this opinion, the court clarified what i have been arguing all along and i think most people who follow this specific area of preemption law know. that is there have always been windows of opportunity where states can act as long as those actions are consistent with federal law. th

in response, and arizona have no other choice but to act and arizona did so by following, not changing, federal law. arizona, federal government should have spent time, money, and on fixing the problem. when the key of our efforts to protect the citizens of arizona, the fight against illegal immigration in a balanced and constitutional way unanimously been vindicated by the highest court in the land. the hearts of senate bill 1070 has proven to be constitutional. arizona and every other state can protect and defend its been upheld. i pray for strength and i pray state before i signed 1070. i did so because i firmly believe it represented what was best for arizona. border-related violence and crime and a significant financial cost due to illegal immigration are critically important issues to the people state and to me. both as governor and a citizen. as i have said, this is the day for mistake, arizona is ready. we know the eyes of the world will be upon us. we know the critics will be waiting, hoping for another opportunity to continue their legal assaults against our state. i have fai
