Wow. So they’re willing to let a potentially unconstitutional law be enforced while they let the courts rule. This isn’t if an app is misusing data or if a company didn’t pay its bills on time. This is if a state can do the Constitutionally-mandated job of the federal government.
I hope another state just blatantly starts setting and enforcing their own immigration policy that the Republicans shit their pants over so the courts can get a decision faster on whether the constitution fucking matters.
Every law is potentially unconstitutional until the Supreme Court says is isn’t. Here the court is just saying that this particular law isn’t so obviously and extremely unconstitutional that the ordinary process of appeals ought to be bypassed.
(I happen to think that the law is probably constitutional so IMO the Supreme Court is being reasonable, but I’m not a lawyer…)
It’s blatantly, abundantly unconstitutional. That hasn’t exactly stopped SCOTUS in the past, but it’s exactly as unconstitutional as the Feds having jurisdiction over pot possession.
It’s still ridiculous given the effect. People will be jailed and probably deported in the meantime. The guideline should be that if a law reduces individual rights it should be stayed until a decision is made. They’re not going to compensate anyone for wrongful imprisonment or reimport people that were ejected if this is ultimately struck down.
Note that this is not a decision that the law is constitutional.
