In a 5-3 decision authored by Chief Justice Roberts, the Supreme Court rejected the Chamber of Commerce's position that federal law preempted Arizona's E-Verify requirements. The three dissenters siding with the Chamber of Commerce (and, unusually, with federal preemption) were the liberals Breyer, Ginsburg, and Sotomayor.
