A federal judge in Phoenix has dismissed another challenge to Arizona's new immigration law.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton on Wednesday granted the state's motion to dismiss the lawsuit filed last July by the League of United Latin American Citizens.

LULAC sued over training materials distributed to Arizona law-enforcement meant to guide the implementation of the law, claiming the materials promoted racial and ethnic profiling.

Bolton ruled that LULAC's challenge lacked standing to pursue its claims and failed in proving to establish any real and immediate threat of harm.

Gov. Jan Brewer says of the eight federal lawsuits against the state, six have been entirely dismissed. Portions of the remaining two suits also been dismissed.

The federal government's lawsuit against Arizona on portions of Senate Bill 1070 remains at the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco.

    No big deal. The point causing this suit to be dismissed was plaintiff's failure to show irrepairable harm. But the three or four unconstitutional provisions which had J. Bolton rule the legislation unconstitutional earlier in a seperate case are not effected. SB1070 will be ruled as Unconstitutional and those three of four provisions will be stricken, thereby gutting it.

    Dale: 6 of 8 dismissed (75%). Of the two remaining, portions have also be dismissed. I wouldn't be so confident.

    Also, those that brought the BOGUS suits should be forced to pay all costs the AMERICAN CITIZENS had to pay for their childish attempts....
