And struck down the other 3 provisions, stipulating that should racial profiling cases arise in the future those would be allowed to go through the courts, and that nobody can be detained for prolonged time for failure to carry immigration documents.

When 3 out of 4 parts of a state law are overturned, and the only surviving one is watered down, the 20/20 hindsight is that the lawsuit was more than justified. Going by the numbers I'd say it would be fair that the Arizona lawmakers pay back 75% of their salary due to 75% of their job being found rubbish.
