President Barack Obama Dept: While finding much of the Arizona law unconstitutional, the high court did say that one part would stand -- the portion requiring police to check the status of someone they suspect is not in the United States legally. Even there, though, the justices said the provision could be subject to additional legal challenges, according to CTV. Justice Anthony Kennedy wrote the opinion for the court that was unanimous on allowing the status check to go forward. The court was divided on striking down the other portions and wASHINGTON The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday struck down key provisions of border state Arizona's harsh crackdown on immigrants, one of the most divisive domestic issues separating President Barack Obama from his Republican challenger Mitt Romney. The decision upholds the "show me your papers" provision for the moment. But it takes the teeth out of it by prohibiting police officers from arresting people on minor immigration charges.
