(ARIZONA DAILY STAR) PHOENIX — The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected a last-minute bid by Gov. Jan Brewer to keep dreamers from getting licenses to drive.
In a brief order issued this morning, the court denied Brewer's request that it issue a stay to prevent the 9th Circuit from ordering a federal judge in Phoenix to issue an injunction blocking Brewer's edict declaring that dreamers do not meet the requirements of Arizona law. The justices gave no reason for their decision.
But the order said that Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito sided with Brewer and would have given her at least a chance to convince the full court that the 9th Circuit got it wrong and that dreamers are not entitled under Arizona law to get licenses to drive.
