The U.S. Supreme Court might issue its opinion on Arizona’s controversial immigration law, Senate Bill 1070, as early as Monday. Or next Thursday. Or, heck, maybe sometime in July.
So what’s the holdup?But here’s the thing: The Supreme Court already has decided the case, and they likely did so two months ago.

The union will be targeting union and non-union members–with an emphasis on African American and Latino communities, younger voters, union households and other working people–on an unprecedented scale. By Election Day, the SEIU field campaign intends to connect with voters by making 13 million phone calls, knocking on more than 3 million doors and holding more than 1 million conversations across the country, with the majority of the work focused in Colorado, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.
“Our boots-on-the-ground effort will be bold and targeted,” said Eliseo Medina, SEIU International Secretary Treasurer. “Far too much is at stake this election cycle. We are using our human and capital resources to stand by candidates who will stand up for working people and not return the country to failed policies of the past. We know our communities can make a difference when they go to the polls.”
The launch of the SEIU field program comes on the heels of a joint SEIU/Priorities USA Action $4 million Spanish-language TV and radio ad campaign in Colorado, Florida and Nevada. An ad released yesterday as part of that campaign features Mitt Romney‘s hostile immigrant rhetoric while a round of ads released last week highlights Latinos’ reactions to Romney’s own words on jobs and other key issues.
