Hundreds of people turned out to protest Arizona's immigration law as arguments wrapped up at the Supreme Court.

Everybody now trying to read into those snippets of what has trickled out from the -- from the court yesterday.

A lot of course is at stake flat and I governor Jan Brewer.

She has championed this law in her state been at the center of this fight from the very beginning.

And she told Greta last night -- -- that was a great day in court yesterday Nash had a chance to sleep on.

The whole thing is he joins us this morning good morning governor brewer good to have is always.

Thank you Martha it's good to be with you and so now that it's on again and -- sort of you know thought about the things that you heard in court yesterday.

Are you at all are you cautious about you know what the outcome will be and what do you what do you weigh in terms of what they said yesterday in in the second -- take a look at a couple of the -- Well let me Begin by -- -- -- thought it was a great day yesterday and that we.

Presented a wonderful -- and I slept really good last night and today of course we know that we always have to be.

But costs as we can't take anything for granite but I am very -- left and I feel very very positive.

Let's take a look at some of what justice Sotomayor said first and I'm gonna follow that with chief Justice Roberts she said.

Two there LA today who's obviously the it council for the White House is that you can see that it is not selling very well she's what she said to have.

Why you try to come up with something else and that that can't be the most encouraging -- to hear from the justice -- -- and she he she in that after on the health care.

In terms of his -- presentation on that as well and here we have Chief Justice John Roberts is comments yesterday in court.

It's not an effort to enforce federal law.

It is an effort to let you know about violations of federal law whether or not to enforce them is still entirely up to you it seems to me.

That the federal government just doesn't want to know who is here.

Illegally or not I think justice that justice roberts' comments were or particularly telling him as saying.

That what you know what you're -- would do it does not get in the way of the federal law as they have proposed it's sort of in our hands them a piece of the puzzle right.

Exactly I think that's what we've been trying to say all along and of course the justice maybe you might have -- -- a lot better than -- I've been saying yet but.

You know we -- -- want to work together with the federal government.

And get -- enforcement and and and and use our law enforcement and our -- is -- To help them and of course we all know that senate -- 1070 is a mirror -- federal law.

And the federal law is constitutional.

So I you know I just -- really.

-- positive that no we're gonna get a good ruling from the Supreme Court.

You know I know one of the things that has affected you.

Perhaps a bit personally.

Is this idea that attends seven.

What do you think about that to that.

Well that was very very troubling from the beginning because we knew -- that.

I would this bill could be very well -- seemed like a lightning rod and so I was very cautious and careful when the bill is going through the legislature.

-- make sure.

That it didn't include racial profiling has been very hard -- mean spirited we are not races we are not tickets.

And yesterday I think it was made very very -- By the -- of the Supreme Court.

What he spoke to the solicitor general.

Asking him that this case is not about racial profiling is it.

And solicitor general responded no it is not yet they they have not put that forth as the centerpiece of their argument in this case it you know I want to talk politics with you have for a moment and there have been some who say that if this is shot down.

That it could work to the president's benefit in the general election because it would it would fire up the Hispanic vote which is obviously very crucial.

To anybody who wants to win this election -- -- -- about that.

Well if it if it if -- lose on this certainly it's going to be very attractive to illegal of aliens that.

Are in the state of Arizona and that are in America because obviously it says.

We're not going to be a nation of laws -- not -- so important.

And and understand that we are that that we believe in the rule of law.

And that's pretty un American in my opinion.

So it's gonna play to those people and it's going now with.

With the direction of them trying to scare I think the Serb population.

In in in our state in America that.

He is that the administration is the answer.

It's unfortunate it's very unfortunate.

That we wait now till June June -- two huge decisions immigration and health care which -- at Arizona.

And there's none of the on the far -- -- -- those issues indeed it is governor -- it's always good to have you here in America's Newsroom thanks for coming with Pakistan we help.
