Arizona Governor Jan Brewer reacts to U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton's decision.
PHOENIX (AP) -- Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer calls a federal judge's ruling on the state's controversial immigration law "a temporary bump in the road."
The judge put most of the law cracking down on illegal immigration on hold Wednesday just hours before it was to go into effect.
Brewer told The Associated Press that she expects that the state will appeal the ruling.
Brewer's lawyers argued that Arizona shouldn't have to suffer from America's broken immigration system when it has 15,000 police officers who can arrest illegal immigrants.
Republican Rep. John Kavanagh, 1 of the law's top supporters, said he was disappointed by the ruling and that he expects it to ultimately end up being decided by the U.S. Supreme Court.
I suspect the case will go to the Supreme Court.
In the meantime, law-abiding Americans in Arizona will suffer.
Supposedly we're a "country of laws, not men."
What happens when the law, including immigration law, is not enforced?
The foundation of the country crumbles.
