If the Supreme Court upholds key parts of the law, "it will be a huge green light," he said. "All of the other states will have a blueprint that they can copy."

Not necessarily.

The High Court is only reviewing the issue of Federal supremacy as it pertains to preemption doctrine.

There are other civil rights suits pending the outcome of this case. These suits address 4th Amendment search and seizure issues, 5th and 6th Amendment due process violations, and 14th Amendment equal protection concerns.

These lawmakers might very well be enacting legislation that will at some point be invalidated by the Court:

With Justice Elena Kagan conflicted out, the Court may strike some sections and affirm the rest. On some points it may divide 4-4, affirming the lower court opinion that struck them down. That would leave those issues to be settled another day.

Some of those have already been raised in civil rights suits pending below brought by advocacy groups who are not afraid to point out what everybody knows: Ethnic profiling is at the heart of 1070 and other state laws like it. Can “driving while brown” be made a state crime?

Face It: SB 1070 Is about Race

As far as conservatives are concerned, that would indeed be the case.
