Sonic Overload 6/25/12

A jam packed, pretty high energy show that runs 2 hours and 11 minutes this week and there’s some commentary at the top, about the Supreme Court decision on Arizona’s anti-immigration law that passed in 2010. Some of the law’s provisions were struck down by a 5-3 margin, including the ones that allowed the authorities to arrest individuals without a warrant if they had suspicion of their legal status, as well as the one that made it illegal for undocumented immigrants to seek employment. On the other hand, police are still allowed to check the immigration status of people who are stopped or arrested. Of course, that still gives a lot of leeway for racial profiling and even legal immigrants are likely to be rousted if their skin isn’t white. So it’s far from a victory for those who are troubled by Arizona’s blatantly racist policies. But I’ll leave it at that. And I also pay tribute to Gay Pride weekend with some of this week’s musical selections.
