that each side gets to make the case before a panel of three judges. while the law, sb 1070 is in arizona, people across the country and other countries are watching this one. regardless of what happens, many experts figure this will end up before the supreme court. this is a two-fold deal we are talk about. the senate bill was intended to help the state crack down on immigration. the law makes it a crime to hire, transport, or harbor an illegal immigrant and cars can be impounded. they would allow people to arrest or detain people they suspect was in the country illegally. they were put on hold the day before they went into effect by a judge. president obama took the arizona law to court, claiming the legislation interferes with federal immigration prerogatives and violates the u.s. constitution. the case is being held in san francisco because the ninth

circuit court handles federal appeals in nine states including arizona. the u.s. court of appeals is set to hear arguments for and against senate bill 1070 starting at 9:00 this morning. proponents will argue that the law is not about immigration, but it's also about state rights to enforce the laws and deal with immigration within their own borders. >> the fight will likely not end here. thanks a lot, chris. . >> good morning. it's 5:14. an 18-minute drive off of the bridge down the east shore freeway through berkeley and emeryville. the calm before the commute. no problems and off of the bridge, we have two issues i will point out. heading over through castro valley, westbound 580, reports of a disabled vehicle and a tire blowout on the right shoulder. you should be already on the westbound direction, but eastbound we are seeing unusual
