Planet Rot ululates

In unison with the ACLU, while one of Rot's Enemy of the People seethes: In effect, the court is saying that if the feds refuse to enforce the law the states can't do it either because doing so would transgress the federal policy of non-enforcement ... which is nuts. Not according to Rotter Logik.

Where's the Tecs Scalia label?

Of course, it's gonna end up with Scalia, and he'll side with Tecsian Logik, not the Rotter version.

Heather Mac Donald gets at the root of the Rotter oh-so-transparent fallacy:

In enjoining Arizona’s landmark immigration law, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton maintains the Obama administration’s carefully cultivated fiction: that what concerns the White House regarding S.B. 1070 is its effect on legal, rather than illegal, aliens. Almost nowhere in the government’s briefs or the judge’s ruling is the arrest and detention of illegal aliens addressed. This fiction is transparent, however. The real threat posed by S.B. 1070 was that it would disrupt the de facto amnesty that the executive branch has accorded to the vast majority of illegal aliens. It would start to implement congressional mandates and the public will that the immigration laws be enforced. For that reason, it had to be stopped.

Precisely.

Tecs "Heather" Scalia. Hmmm, sounds like a new label.

When you cannot argue the law, just bullshit. A basic principle of Rotter Logik.
