Indiana: AZ E-Verify Law - A good sign for Indiana's new immigration law (ACLU has filed suit against Indiana)

Indiana: AZ E-Verify Law - A good sign for Indiana's new immigration law (ACLU has filed suit against Indiana)......Supreme Court might be inclined to support sensible federalism....The opinion, written by Chief Justice John Roberts, said AZ's law does not improperly intrude upon federal prerogatives because the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act contains a clause that explicitly allows states to use licensing provisions to punish employers..The timing couldn't be better for Indiana, which has its own recently passed E-Verify law that has just been challenged by an ACLU-of-Indiana lawsuit. The Arizona victory is not a guarantee of success for Indiana in the lawsuit; some of the ACLU's complaints involve provisions of the Indiana law not in the Arizona statute. But the core of its objection is the “federal prerogative” complaint.
