Arizona Appeals Court drastically limits the effect of the Arizona law.

Editor's notes: In this morning's court decision, the Arizona Appeals Court has placed an injunction on the part of the Arizona law that requires state and local law enforcement to ask for proof of legal entry. For the time being, this portion of the Arizona law is on hold.

It appears that most of the law's content remains in force, however.

Understand that all reporting on this news item is premature, at best. It will be days before the full effect of this decision is known. For one thing, the decision needs to be read. Secondly, it needs to be interpreted and finally, it needs to be given anecdotal and theoretical application. All this will take some time.

From our vantage point, Midknight Review believes that nothing is added to the current discussion until the legal decision is fully vetted. For example, FoxNews saw more positives in the remaining law for Arizona than did CNN. In fact, if one listened to one network and then the other, he would not know which Federal Court would review the Arizona law next. FoxNews sees the 9th Circuit in review while the prognosticators at CNN (at the 10:30 am report) referenced the 10 th Circuit. As it turns out, CNN was wrong in their reporting -- something they may not know as we write this post.

In the end, it does appear that the open border opponents of the law will be somewhat pleased with this decision. All parties on both sides of the equation believe this law is destined for Supreme Court review. Further, it is clear that this legal decision has postponed a planned violent protest from the Marxists/Open Borders Crowd driving this debate. These folks are anarchists and allied with Marxist revolution the world over. If the Feds were enforcing their own immigration law, on the books since 1996, these revolutionaries would be protesting Federal involvement rather than the State's.

This is our report. We doubt the need for further clarification until we actually know more about the legal consequences of this decision. Understand that the State of Arizona is currently evaluating its stance as relates to this decision. Without this review, there is little point in further comment at this time.
