Today, the Supreme Court (of the U.S.) heard oral arguments on the legal issues surrounding Arizona's employer sanctions law - the law that permits the suspension of business licenses of companies knowingly hiring workers in the United States illegally. The Associated Press reporter who attended the argument concluded (in his or her lede) that the Court "appeared likely" to uphold the law.
I have not yet had a chance to review the transcripts to see if I reach the same conclusion. But, I know that most who occasionally view this blog are interested in this case and in checking out the transcript. Here is a link to the Supreme Court's official (subject to final review) transcript.
Although the PDF is 68 pages long, (1) it reads quickly, as most depositions/transcripts/etc do; and (2) starting on page 57 of the document is a sort of "word index", which allows you to quickly find the page and line number that you might be looking for. For example, if you wanted to find questions asked by Justice Breyer, look up "Breyer". (Court-watcher unsurprising fun fact: Justice Thomas is not indexed.)
