The Ninth has selected the three judge panel that will hear the appeal of the Republican racial profiling law, SB1070.  Based on that panel, I am confident that Jan Brewer and the the white supremacists behind the law will be crying in their sauerkraut.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"1sb1070\"The federal appeals panel that will hear Arizona defend its sweeping law against illegal immigrants Monday consists of two Hispanics, one of them an immigrant, and a Republican appointee who often sides with immigrants in federal disputes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The judges chosen randomly to hear Arizona’s appeal to the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco are John Noonan, an appointee of Ronald Reagan and a moderate<\/strong>; Richard Paez, a Bill Clinton appointee and the son of Mexican immigrants<\/strong>; and Carlos Bea, an appointee of George W. Bush who was born in Spain and was once ordered deported from the United States<\/strong>. He appealed and won.<\/p>\n

"These are three judges who I think are pretty much in the judicial mainstream," said UC Berkeley constitutional law professor Jesse Choper. He predicted that Arizona would have a "relatively steep, uphill battle" because the federal government is given "exclusive power for immigration and naturalization<\/strong>."<\/p>\n

The 9th Circuit and even the U.S. Supreme Court would probably be swayed by the federal government’s contention that the Arizona law "improperly interferes with federal foreign policy," he said\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To be clear, I am not saying that the judges\u2019 background will improperly influence their decision.  There will certainly be much wailing and gnashing of teeth from Republican racists, but the law in this case is obviously clear.  I think that their background will keep them from ignoring the facts, the law, and the Constitution, as SCOTUS did in Citizens United<\/em>.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
