Very Good Sentences

From Megan McArdle, on the new Arizona Immigration Law:

I'd be a lot more sympathetic to this law, in fact, if it required the police to check the immigration status of every single person they pulled over, without any gauzy "reason to believe" fig leaf to cover up what's really going on.

Raise your hand if you think that law could have passed in Arizona.

My hand is down, by the way.
