So let’s look at Arizona’s reaction to the gun control controversy.

If the federal government wants to block SB 1070 on the grounds that it “is preempted by federal law and therefore violates the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution,” then they should also examine and throw out the thousands of other laws on all the states’ books which reiterate and interpret federal law.

The two members of Congress representing Arizona's border communities are taking divergent positions on Tuesday's decision by the U.S. Department of Justice to challenge the state's new immigration law.

In its lawsuit against SB 1070, I know the Justice Department will primarily cite the Supremacy Clause which says that the Constitution and all laws and treaties approved by Congress in exercising its enumerated powers are the supreme law of the land. It also says that judges in state courts must follow the Constitution, or federal laws and treaties, if there is a conflict with state law. 

Barack Obama won’t be required to produce his birth certificate for Arizona officials if he decides to run for reelection.

The long, hot summer of controversy surrounding Arizona's new immigration law will intensify on Thursday, when a federal judge hears arguments on the highest-profile of seven lawsuits challenging the legislation: a preliminary injunction request by the U.S. Department of Justice.

In an election cycle most analysts expect to be kind to Republicans, the Democrats' best shot at winning a statewide race could be for attorney general.

Regarding the Fairness Doctrine, I would like to congratulate you on a really great editorial (Our View, July 8). The timing was perfect, as we recently finished watching “John Adams” on DVD.

The U.S. Supreme Court will review Arizona's tough law on illegal immigration sometime next year.

Before a painting of Martin Luther King Jr., a photograph of Cesar Chavez and a poster of a Mexican child with the words “We are humans,” “Stop SB 1070” and “End 287-G now,” a group of Hispanic leaders from around the state reacted with a sense or relief to a federal judge’s decision to put the heart of the state’s immigration law on hold and vowed vigilance until it’s completely quashed.
