Federal Judge Strikes Down Hazleton, PA Anti-Immigrant Ordinance

From the decision by Judge James Munley, quoted at Speaking Freely, the ACLU of PA's blog:

    The genius of our Constitution is that it provides rights even to those who evoke the least sympathy from the general public. In that way, all in this nation can be confident of equal justice under its laws. Hazleton, in its zeal to control the presence of a group deemed undesirable, violated the rights of such people, as well as others within the community. Since the United States Constitution protects even the disfavored, the ordinances cannot be enforced.
