SUPREME COURT - Arizona's Proof of Citizenship Unconstitutional

Arizona's Anti-Immigrant-Phobia looses again, in 7-to-2 Supreme Court decision.

Note the decision makes Arizona's law unconstitutional because the 'proof of citizenship' is specified in Federal Law and a state cannot require more proof than that.

SUMMARY:  It is unconstitutional to make voters prove their U.S. citizenship to be able to register to vote.  The Supreme Court made that reversal to Arizona law in a 7-2 decision.  Marcia Coyle of the National Law Journal breaks down the details of that ruling with Judy Woodruff.
