Judge halts AZ SB1070

A federal judge ruled against most of the key components of Arizona's controversial SB1070 immigration law today.  It really shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, it was poorly written by a group of far right wing lunatics.  The only benefit to it would be that it could possibly spur the federal government to finally take some action.  Otherwise, all they've really accomplished with this law is to damage the state's reputation and to damage the state's economy.  Could perhaps a more reasoned, well thought out, bipartisan law been passed?  Of course, but these aren't normal times and these aren't normal politicians.
