The already bloated doctrine of federal preemption must not be further engorged.
On July 6, 2010, the Holder Justice Department, allegedly without consultation with President Obama, filed suit in federal district court in Arizona to block the new Arizona law intended to enforce existing federal laws against unlawful immigration, something the federal government itself has patently failed to do. The suit asks the court for, among other things, an order restraining Arizona from implementing the new statute later this month as scheduled, pending the outcome of the litigation. It is evident that this was done for partisan political purposes, although it seems quite likely that the political results will not be those which the Obama administration desires.

I am pushing my state level Congressional reps here in Pa for an Arizona-style law. Reading is infected with a ton of illegal aliens.
Please!
Personally, I think Obama launched this lawsuit because he fears the Arizona law's success will show the nation what executive aplomb and real leadership can accomplish.
Does everyone remember when the POS Holder was paid by Marc RIch to get him off with Bill Clinton???
Kinda tells you everything ...
Voters by a two-to-one margin oppose the U.S. Justice Department’s decision to challenge the legality of Arizona’s new immigration law in federal court. Sixty-one percent (61%), in fact, favor passage of a law like Arizona’s in their own state, up six points from two months ago.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that just 28% of voters agree that the Justice Department should challenge the state law. Fifty-six percent (56%) disagree and another 16% are not sure.Further, as of yesterday, July 8, nearly $500,000 had been donated to assist Arizona in her defense of her immigration law.
Website contributions came from all 50 states, plus the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, including nearly 2,000 from Arizona. Donations ranged from $5 to $2,000, with the vast majority between $10 and $100.
The AP examined about a quarter of the fund's total contributions, and found only two that came from businesses.Methinks that the Obama Administration may have blotted its copybook rather badly on this one.

If that is the case, either Obama supports what Holder did or he should fire him immediately. There is no grat area here.
Considering that zero not only graduated from Harvard Law and presided over the Harvard Law Review, but also taught law, you’d think he would have a better understanding of the way that the law works. So far, from what I have seen, all he has managed to do is rack up loss after loss in the courts.
If he is an example of what Harvard Law produces, I’d go somewhere else. And, Harvard might want to do themselves a favor by dissociating themselves from this utter failure. He’s not a good advertisement for them!!
IF any one believes Holder even sneezes with out the 0’s permission, I’ve a prime piece of ocean front property in AZ to sell them.
28%-Thats about the same number on Rasmussens presidential poll that strongly approve of Ears.
The 56% who disagree closely match those who disapprove of the TOTUS.
There ain't much that can be done to change the hardcore Obamaite, its the sleepy ones in the middle that need to wake up.
Ping!
The Obama Administration wants Mexicans to come in. Or at least refuses to do anything to stop them. But they pay no attention to the drug, crime, and terrorism issues of a porous national border. If we made every Mexican a U.S. citizen, we would still have the problem of an uncontrolled border.
The entire concept of “limited government” is laughable so long as ALL COMMERCE falls under federal control, due to the Commerce Clause. From Wickard on down, the entire thing is one huge mess.
Wouldst that the Sleeping Nine would pay more attention to the actual INTENT of the Framers and less on Constitutional precedent. It no longer matters what the actual Constitution says or the intentions behind it, only what some earlier Supreme Court SAID that it meant.
Fix the Commerce Clause! I’d be happy to support an Amendment that would clarify that short yet devastating collection of words.
its the sleepy ones in the middle that need to wake up.
And the undecideds. It’s mindboggling that 16% are undecided.
I’ll bet that those 16% are experts on the Lohan story though.
Bachelor and Survivor watchers.
