People buying coverage individually, as well as small businesses, will be able to shop for private coverage from a range of competing insurers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most Republican-led states, including large ones such as Texas and Florida, have been counting on the law to be overturned and have failed to do the considerable spade work needed to set up exchanges.

(Robyn Beck/AFP/Getty Images)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The high court struck down parts of the Arizona law that authorized police to arrest undocumented immigrants without a warrant, required \"unauthorized immigrants\" to carry identification papers, and forbid anyone not authorized to work in the United States from seeking a job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The court left left untouched for now a provision that allows police to check the immigration status of anyone they stop. But it held open the door to a future review of that provision, which critics say encourages racial profiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California wasn't likely to have passed a similar law, Johnson told KQED's Scott Shafer. This state \"learned its lesson\" when a U.S. district court struck down Proposition 187, which would have stopped undocumented immigrants from using health care, public education, and other social services in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also Latinos have increased their clout in the state, since the 1990s, Johnson pointed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I do think California also learned a political lesson,\" he told KQED's Scott Shafer, citing the example of former Gov. Pete Wilson. \"Pete Wilson was a big proponent of Prop. 187. You don’t see Pete Wilson at very many Republican National Conventions anymore, or involved in Republican politics at all. He became sort of the poster child for what happens if you alienate Latino voters when Latino voters are increasingly becoming part of the electorate.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California will be affected because the ruling, along with president Obama's recent decision to \u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/news/story/2012/06/20/98287/obamas_immigration_move_disrupts_rubios_dream?source=npr&category=politics\">relax deportation\u003c/a> of young illegal immigrants, has refocused public attention on the need for immigration reform at the federal level, Johnson said. \"What that entails, different people would debate, but almost all say we need something different from what we have when it comes to immigration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Californians are not dropping the issue of immigration. A bill sponsored by State Assemblymember Tom Ammiano (D-San Francisco), the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2011/04/29/what-is-immigration-and-customs-secure-communities-and-ab-1081/\">TRUST Act (AB 1081),\u003c/a> would require local police to release people who have been arrested once they have posted bond or served their sentences -- even if federal officials have asked that they be held.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill TRUST Act passed out of the Senate Public Safety Committee on June 12. It is a response to Obama administration’s \u003ca href=\"http://www.ice.gov/secure_communities/\">Secure Communities\u003c/a> program, in which immigration authorities check the residency status of everyone booked into local jails, and ask local authorities to hold illegal immigrants for deportation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the wake of the Supreme Court's ruling, immigration rights activists called on California Attorney General Kama Harris to support the TRUST Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris sent out her own press release, praising the Supreme Court's ruling.

In February, a three-judge panel of the court voted 2-1 to uphold a lower court's ruling that the same-sex marriage ban is unconstitutional, and Proposition 8 proponents, on the losing side of that decision, had wanted a larger group of Ninth Circuit judges, called an \"en banc\" panel, to rehear the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After this latest setback, Prop 8 supporters, who have now lost at two levels of the federal judiciary, said they would \"absolutely\" ask the Supreme Court to review the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the Ninth Circuit issued its ruling on the case in February, UC Davis law professor Vik Amar told KQED's Scott Shafer that he thought the opinion was written as narrowly as possible in order to ward off the Supreme Court from taking -- and perhaps overturning -- the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yesterday, after the Ninth Circuit announced it would not take up the case again, KQED's Rachael Myrow checked in with Professor Amar to get his reading of the tea leaves in terms of whether the Supreme Court will take up the matter of Proposition 8.

If the Ninth Circuit had held that not only had Prop 8 violated the federal constitution, but that every state's ban on same-sex marriage in the western U.S. also violated the federal constitution, than I think the U.S. Supreme Court would have had no choice but to take review.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There's still a good chance the Supreme Court will step in, but at least by making the ruling so California-specific they offer the Supreme Court an excuse not to step in if it wants to wait.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RACHAEL MYROW\u003c/strong>: A lot of people are talking as if it's a given that the Supreme Court will take up the case.

So there's a good chance the Supreme Court will still want to take the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But complicating things more now is the decision by the First Circuit Court of Appeals in the Defense of Marriage case last week. The DOMA case raises narrower questions than the Prop 8 case does. So they may want to look at the DOMA issues and wait a year or more before they take on the more momentous question of whether states have to recognize same-sex marriage, if they want to take up the question of gay marriage a little more incrementally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because in the First Circuit's DOMA ruling, the question wasn't whether states have to recognize same sex marriage, it was if a state recognizes same sex marriage, should the federal government have to abide by that and allow that couple to be considered married for federal purposes as well? The court may want to look at that narrower issue before it confronts the bigger issue presented by Prop 8 and other bans on same-sex marriage like it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes the Supreme Court will sit on a request for review for awhile until it decides another case that may be relevant. So if the Supreme Court decides it wants to take the DOMA case first, it could grant review in that case and let the Prop 8 case sit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One more thing that's important – we've been focusing on the merits of the Prop 8 case, whether the California constitutional ban on same-sex marriage violates the 14th Amendment. But there's still that looming question of whether the defenders of Prop 8 had standing to defend the law in the first place. The Supreme Court could dispose of the Prop 8 case if it wanted to on standing grounds without ever ruling on the merits. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RACHAEL MYROW\u003c/strong>: How likely is that?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>VIK AMAR\u003c/strong>: I think it's not unlikely. In 1996 the Supreme Court unanimously wrote an opinion that slapped the Ninth Circuit down for recognizing initiative-sponsored standing in Arizona. This case is arguably different than the Arizona case, but there's a lot of skepticism on the part of U.S. Supreme Court justices about whether unelected individuals should easily be able to step into the shoes of voters and defend enactments in federal court, especially when the people who passed Prop 8, the voters, may not have really known who the sponsors of Prop 8 were who were going to be their legal representatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think the standing question is a really complex one and I don't really think the Ninth circuit and the California Supreme Court did it justice in deciding that the sponsors really did have standing.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Skimping on toilet water has resulted in more sludge backing up inside the sewer pipes, said Tyrone Jue, spokesman for the city Public Utilities Commission. That has created a rotten-egg stench near AT&T Park and elsewhere, especially during the dry summer months.
