Is it more of a strain to find ambiguity than it did in yates . That im skeptical. Other than the intensity of the spotlight im not sure the court had to work harder to find ambiguity than in any number of cases where it resolves hard questions. I think it is fair to say that whether or not the chief justice or Justice Kennedy thought this was ambiguous, they thought it was a drafting error. Its fair to say in other contexts the court has been less hospitable to that. Im not worried about how we come out because maybe it is mistake and congress can fix it. That argument has a lot more sway in other contexts than it had here because in most contexts its a useful and benign fiction. ....

Im going to read the amendment that you propose and you can help explain it. You say adding just the four words and other Public Officials after the word judges and the supremacy clause would allow congress to impose mandatory duties on Public Officials in every state.

0 security plan that corker and hoeven came up with. that excessive, over the top, wasteful border security plan. it s important because it gives republican senators who actually want real reform, but who also feel pressure from their base to show they re tough on border security, it gives them a way to support the overall bill even without cornyn s poison pill amendment. that s what we re seeing. two more republican senators, nevada s dean hiller and mark kirk announced their support for reform thursday, and perhaps more, many more, could soon follow. if this amendment passes, which i hope it will, don t see how anybody could argue the reason they re not supporting this legislation is because we haven t addressed securing the border. we have addressed that. we ve addressed that in spades in this legislation. again, there are still a lot of hurdles. the upshot of what happened in the senate this week is this. the dream of immigration reform supporters getting a bill through the sen ....
