Judge: Employer-sanctions law stands
"Arizona's employer-sanctions law survived its second legal challenge Friday when a federal judge ruled the public would suffer the greater harm if the measure fails to take effect on schedule.
The decision by U.S. District Court Judge Neil V. Wake clears the way for the measure to become law in 10 days, on Jan. 1. Wake denied a request to block the law temporarily, pending further court hearings on whether it is constitutional."
