Monday’s suit is “stronger in a way” than the suit against Governor Brewer over the immigration law, because it is more specific, says Jesse Choper…. Congress has stated what it requires for the employment application, “but doesn’t say what states cannot require,” says Mr. Choper. “If the federal government named the requirements and said these are the only ones, this case would be a slam dunk,” he says. “But they didn’t, so now the government has to argue what they intended.”
