The Supreme Court has just struck down three out of the four challenged provisions of Arizona's controversial immigration law, SB 1070. As USA Torday reported (via Tucson.com):
The court, in a 5-3 ruling, left standing only the “check your papers” part of the law that requires state and local police to perform roadside immigration checks of people they’ve stopped or detained if a “reasonable suspicion” exists that they are in the country illegally.
The court indicated, however, that even that section could face further legal challenges.
So how is Fox News reporting this? It depends which site you're on.

I also smell a Lou Dobbs appearance on O’Loofah tonite. Maybe a Joe Arpiao one on Klannity.
As for Ms. Brewer, may I introduce her to Thomas Dewey. He is familiar for declaring victory.

How bad is it when Shepard Smith and Judge Andrew Napolitano – two people on your OWN network – undermine the claim the ruling was a defeat for President Obama . . .

truman: That should either read “Senor Patel es gran pendejo” or “Senor Patel es un pendejo grande.” (No objection to the lack of diacritics but “grande” only comes AFTER a noun. Before a noun, it shortens to “gran.” Additionally, before the noun, “gran” tends to mean “great” like “Great Britain”—in Spanish, “Gran Bretaña”; “grande” after the noun means “big” like “Rio Grande” which means “Big River.” And I’m reasonably certain that “Señor Patel” is “un pendejo” regardless of where the adjective is placed.)

Jan Brewer just declared victory! That may be the laugh-out-loud funny line of the day…

@newzhound: “Basically, what is there beyond ‘driving while Brown?’”
“Flying while Muslim” . . .
@Visitor 55: yep, this reminds me of the I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby verdict — Fox reported Lewis was “ACQUITTED on one of five counts of his indictments”; every other {reputable} news outlet reported he was convicted on four of the five counts . . .

I noticed the headline at the Fox News website spinning that the “Key” part of the law was upheld, for now. (and btw that means it probably will not hold up after someone brings a case challenging it, and I’m basing that belief on the wording chosen by Anthony Kennedy in the released opinion.)
Everyone else in the world is seeing this as a huge defeat for Russell Pearce, Jan Brewer, Sheriff Joe and all the others who would simply toss millions of people out of this country. Kennedy’s ruling was very interesting in that he discussed the difference between someone working to feed their family and someone trying to attack and steal from people. E assessment of relative danger to society is the part of the argument I don’t think the Fox pundits wanted to hear.
No doubt tonight, Lou Dobbs or someone will be on O’Reilly to spin this as some kind of victory while minimizing the reality of what just happened.
