This is a horribly perverse decision. Of course, "conservative" judges can and will cite the 1872 law. Since that legislation has not been repealed, it is still "on the books," and thus the Court must "uphold the law." Nevertheless, we must wonder what happened to common sense! This ruling underscores the harsh, ugly reality that the United States does NOT have a "justice" system. It has a "legal" system instead. Shameful!

Arizona likes enforcing these laws from territorial days... Taking America back, to the Civil War!
