Arizona Immigration Law Controversy

Famously, US Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano oppose Arizona'a immigration law, but admit they have not read it.

Arizona Governor justly lampoons them below:

Megyn Kelly of Fox News has the following analysis:

And my legal opinion is, it is a little bit like the federal law, but if anything, it's less problematic. Did you know that the Supreme Court already ruled a few years ago that under federal law, cops can pull you over for no reason and demand to see your immigration papers? For no reason. They don't have to have reasonable suspicion.
