John Cornyn: “It [the Arizona law] expressly bans racial profiling.”

“I've read the law. The attorney general, at least when he testified here and the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security had not. It [the Arizona law] expressly bans racial profiling. It says you can't ask for ID unless you stop someone in an otherwise lawful stop. That's something that's expected of you and me and everybody else, and I don't think it's particularly onerous or remarkable.” (00:23–03:54)
