A quick rundown of the bylines today, for the SCOTUS' ruling on Arizona's SB1070:
WSJ - "Supreme Court upholds key part of Arizona law"
MSNBC - "High Court strikes down key parts of Arizona immigration law"
NBC News - "The Supreme Court on Monday struck down key parts of touch anti-illegal immigration law."
Reuters - "Supreme Court upholds key part of Arizona SB1070"
Arizona Daily Star - "Supreme Court strikes down most of Arizona's SB 1070"
Tuscon Sentinel - "Supreme Court strikes down most SB 1070 provisions"
TPM - "The Supreme Court threw out most of Arizona's controversial immigration law."
If you don't read the story, you might never know what really happened, and you might be inclined to think this was about the balance of state and federal rights...but the mixed verdict shows that it's all about court politics. Members of SCOTUS negotiated in order to get a partial victory for everyone -- perhaps Justice Roberts is trying to deflect criticism of a politically-driven court.
