Sandra Day O Connor: New Immigration Law

American Civil Liberties Dept: Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer attended the second hearing, which focused on the U.S. Justice Department requesting a preliminary injunction blocking key sections of the law from taking effect next week, according to CBC. Opponents of Arizona's immigration law gather outside the Sandra Day O'Connor federal courthouse in Phoenix last week. Matt York/Associated Press During the morning hearing, Bolton told lawyers for the American Civil Liberties Union that she's required to consider blocking only parts of the law, not the entire statute as they had requested. She said the law has a section allowing parts to still take effect even if other parts are struck down and a judge held two hearings Thursday, in a courtroom packed with top Arizona officials and spectators, on whether the state's new immigration law should take effect amid a flurry of legal challenges against the crackdown. Judge Susan Bolton did not issue a ruling following the day's proceedings. As reported in the news.
