Just one day after Federal Judge Susan Bolton moved to block parts of Arizona's immigration law, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer filed an appeal. Brewer said, "The Senate Bill SB 1070 was constitutional when I signed it. I believe that our attorneys believe it is constitutional, and that we deserve our day in court."

Though she's disappointed by the judge's decision, Governor Brewer said she's happy to see some of the law enforced. Brewer said, "The sanctuary city issue was a big win for the state of Arizona. That basically says that law enforcement officers can enforce the federal law and supervisors cannot tell them that they can't."

Arizona Attorney General Terry Goddard is running against the governor in this year's primary. He's chosen not to get involved with the state's legal battle with the federal government. Goddard said, "The governor, for political reasons, didn't want anybody sharing the credit about 1070 after she signed it. So, she insisted the legal show, and frankly, I thought it would be another black market against Arizona if we had the governor and attorney general fighting over who defended the state in court."

Governor Brewer said the state has already received more than $1 million in donations to take the case to court. Six lawsuits have been filed against the state since Governor Brewer signed the law.

Goddard said the legal costs are going to add to the state's $3 billion debt. Goddard said, "The kind of bills that we're going to see are going to astonish people, because the private litigants at $400 or $500 an hour are going to put a lot of time in, and they've already built hundreds of thousands. I think before very long, they're going to exhaust the money that was raised for this purpose."

Arizona's appeal could be taken up by the federal appeals court within days, but at this point it still remains unknown whether the case will go through.
