Okay, real talk: The Supreme Court didn’t do what Joe Arpaio says it did. As Adam Serwer explains, Justice Kennedy’s opinion states that the “papers, please” portion of the bill “might be unconstitutional, but the high court wants to wait and see how this part of the law is enforced.” (His whole take is worth a read.)

Odds of this portion of the bill ending up in court again: Very high. Likelihood that Joe Arpaio is wrong about something: Absolute.

OOOH I think there’s the limitation that a person can only be held up/stopped/ for the amount of time they would’ve been for their original crime. Like say they have to be stopped for 15 minutes regarding a broken taillight. Checking a person’s citizenship takes up to a few hours so I think that’s where everything gets hazy. I am really interested in seeing where this goes.
