The law will most likely not be overturned. LadyLorraine Send a noteboard - 26/04/2010 03:13:24 PM
Barring some sort of event like a latino congressman being detained, the present government of Arizona is unlikely to overturn this law. Perhaps when we get a strong shift in our legislature that will happen, but until then, the best we're going to get is that the law will become "ignored".

But then, I have nothing but disdain for our present government back home, so I might be a bit cynical of them.
