Did I misunderstand the ruling? Allergies are messing with my brain cells today.

Seems to me the only part of the radical Arizona law that was let stand is a police officer can ask about immigration status and report such to federal immigration. They cant arrest them for their status, they cant detain them, they can only report them. It is up to the feds to decide what to do.

For the rest, the court upheld that Arizona cannot impose its own immigration policy. That federal immigration law cannot be subverted by the states.

So, how does essentially maintaining the status quo make for a conservative decision?
