The New Republic : Distinguished Professor at Yale Law School and Stanford Law School : "Arizona’s Immigration Law is a Violation of Civil Rights. Why Didn’t Anyone Mention That at the Supreme Court?"

.

The Invisible Elephant in the Room of the U. S. Supreme Court when discussing SB 1070 is "racial profiling and discrimination". Nobody sees it but it is present.

"Racial and ethnic profiling is exactly what lies at the heart of the debate around SB 1070, a law that targets Arizona’s Latino population for continual stops, interrogations, and status checks".

"Federal law has primacy not only on immigration statutes but also on questions of preventing discrimination".
