I think that what they did to Arizona can be used against them. Holder can't play both sides of the field, he already set a precedent.

The Justice Department lawsuit charges that the Arizona law cracking down on illegal immigrants conflicts with federal law, would disrupt immigration enforcement and would lead to police harassment of those who cannot prove their lawful status. Filed in federal court in Arizona, it says the state's measure is unconstitutional and asks a judge to stop it from taking effect.

"The Constitution and the federal immigration laws do not permit the development of a patchwork of state and local immigration policies throughout the country," the lawsuit says.

I would love to see that play out in court. Holder now vs what he ordered at DOJ. Which is why you will only see Holder in court when the judge says “Will the Defendant please rise”.
