What happens next in the Department of Justice case?
The state of Arizona immediately appealed the district court’s ruling to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. A panel of the Court of Appeals heard oral argument in the case on November 1, 2010 and will eventually issue a ruling either affirming or reversing the district court’s decision on the preliminary injunction. The side that loses may then seek further review from the entire appeals court and/or the United States Supreme Court.
