"While we are disappointed in the federal court's decision to issue a temporary injunction, it is often the case that a judge will initially approve a temporary injunction until they have an opportunity to hear and read arguments and legal research from both sides," said Arizona Republican Party Chairman Randy Pullen.  "Our expectation is that Judge Bolton will rule in favor of SB 1070 as we believe that SB 1070 is constitutional."

Chairman Pullen said, "Based on my prior experience with Proposition 200, I expect this case will go to the U.S. Supreme Court."

"The federal government's argument that SB 1070 would have placed and undue burden on them is as absurd as it is a complete dismissal of the tremendous burden placed on Arizona by the federal government not doing its job," continued the Chairman.  "The mere fact that they would rather sue the Grand Canyon state than allow us to protect ourselves is patently ridiculous and completely out of touch with needs of Arizonans."
