Good Morning America’s Bill Weir on Thursday touted a court ruling that removed key portions of Arizona’s immigration law. He announced the judge’s decision as one spanning “from rage to relief.” He derided the possible implementation of the legislation as ” the day when reasonable suspicion would take on a whole new meaning. ” Weir, who will soon take over as the new co-host of Nightline, chided Arizona Governor Jan Brewer.
