Arizona Immigration Laws to be challenged by Supreme Court

Today on Monday, December 12th the Supreme Court decided they were going to take the court case regarding the legality of the immigration laws passed by Arizona in the past year.  These laws have sparked a lot of other states to try to pass similar laws and it seems as if before any other state does so the Supreme Court needs to decide the legality of the legislation.

For a long time the Obama administration has frowned upon the laws passed by Arizona and had tired to repeal the laws in the state courts. However, the courts disagreed with the administrations review and so no decision was ever met about the case.  Since then Arizona's government, as well as several others that support the laws, have passed laws to prevent the Obama administration from committing any other lawsuits against the states government.  This lead up to today where the Supreme court finally decides to take up the case.

My opinion of this whole situation is in favor of the Supreme Court.  Now where I do believe there should be serious immigration reform, I believe Arizona's Laws are both unjust and unAmerican.  Therefore the fact that the Supreme Court is taking up a case gives there a chance of repeal of the laws.  However, even though the laws may seem morally wrong and constricting of freedom they are not actually unconstitutional.  Therefore, I don't believe they will repeal, however I am not an expert on the matter and therefore cannot say that for certain.
