The actual name of the case, of course, is Arizona vs. the United States, which-as Jan Brewer points out in her wonderful book, Scorpions for Breakfast-is an inherent contradiction.

As most of you know, New Yorkers for Immigration Control and Enforcement is an indefatigable fighter on behalf of American citizens, not only living in the Empire State, but throughout the nation.

Months of strenuous campaigning, millions of dollars in political advertising, and countless days of retail politicking will culminate in just a few hours, when a select few will decide who will be awarded the first presidential delegates of the 2012 Republican race for President of the United States.
