The White House is expected to file a lawsuit next week.
A White House showdown with the state of Arizona over its tough new immigration law is likely to unfold next week, when the Obama administration is expected to file a lawsuit aimed at blocking the state's bid to curb illegal immigration on its own, according to people familiar with the administration's plans.
Arizona officials are girding for the legal challenge. The state has raised $123,000 in private donations to defend the law, according to Gov. Jan Brewer's office. Money has come in from all 50 states, in donations as little as $1.
Obama administration officials declined to reveal the basis for the suit. But legal experts say the challenge is likely to include the argument that in passing the law, Arizona violated the Constitution by intruding on the federal government's authority to regulate immigration.

About this issue, Somebody said to me last week very incredulously that "they'll see it to believe it".....Well, better get ready to "see". That dude needs to wake up!! Obama isn't going Clinton's third way or Triangulate or whatever you called it...It's Hell or High Water for him!!
If Arizona loses then I think all the border states should sue the federal government for all the costs associated with illegal aliens since the feds have failed to do the job required of them.
Methinks they will not win this argument.
he’ll lose and if folks can’t see his motives are puerly selfish, political and just plain lame, they should after this; even when the millions of gallons of oild POUR into the gulf for purely selfish reason on political gains( cap and trade etc) just as McCrystal was tossed under the bus by someone NOT EVEN a corporal in the army like his pal Hitler was...he’ll lose and be known for ever what a damned fraud he always has been. I just hope some of his madness is reversible...imagine a pesident declaring war ion his own citizens; well imagine no more, he it the one, the empty suit one.
The Arizona law does not change immigration regulations. Just enforces them.
The way other states are wanting the same legislation as Arizona, it might be California boycotting 49 other states. Or is that 56?
This could be just what is needed to generate a round of tea parties all summer long, leading up to the elections. Bad timing for the rats. They must be getting unholy pressure from somewhere.
And, Arizona could very well prevail if it actually comes to a court case. If that happens, obama will have a gusher on his hands to rival the one in the Gulf.
He obviously doesn’t care what “WE” or the average voter thinks.....he would have moderated himself months ago,
He is saying “F” us.
” Arizona violated the Constitution by intruding on the federal government’s authority to regulate immigration.”
Immigration, yes. CRIMINAL TRESPASSERS? N O !!
Shouldn’t Zer0 sue the US then? I mean afterall, isn’t the Arizona law pretty much identical to federal law?
I say good, last poll I saw said 68% support the law, more people this clown obama pisses off the sooner we can b e rid of him
basil,
I hope you are right.
Also your hairy friend in your about page is beautiful.
I have a bad feeling about this. AZ may give in to Obama and Co. someway/somehow. I hope not.
I come for visit, get treated regal,
So I stay, who care I illegal?
I cross border, poor and broke,
Take bus, see employment folk.
Nice man treat me good in there,
Say I need to see welfare.
Welfare say, “You come no more,
We send cash right to your door.”
Welfare checks, they make you wealthy,
Medicaid it keep you healthy!
By and by, I got plenty money,
Thanks to you, American dummy.
Write to friends in motherland,
Tell them come as fast as you can.
They come in rags and Chebby trucks,
I buy big house with welfare bucks.
They come here, we live together,
More welfare checks, it gets better!
Fourteen families they moving in,
But neighbor’s patience wearing thin.
Finally, white guy moves away,
Now I buy his house, and then I say,
“Find more aliens for house to rent.”
And in the yard I put a tent.
Send for family (they just trash),
But they, too, draw the welfare cash!
Everything is mucho good,
And soon we own the neighborhood.
We have hobby—it’s called breeding,
Welfare pay for baby feeding.
Kids need dentist? Wife need pills?
We get free! We got no bills!
American crazy! He pay all year,
To keep welfare running here.
We think America darn good place!
Too darn good for the white man race.
If they no like us, they can go,
Got lots of room in Mexico
> Obama administration poised to challenge Arizona immigration law
Not a problem. More than half he citizens have challenged Obama’s citizenship and right to be POTUS.
THe NEW paradigm emerging may be: "You CAN beat the damned old machine"
This is a no win situation for illegal aliens in Arizona, no matter what the feds do.
> The Arizona law does not change immigration regulations.
> Just enforces them.
The standing of 0bambi’s case is that Arizona has no authority to enforce or replicate and enforce Federal immigration statutes. All they’re allowed to do is remand captured illegals to the Feds. If the Feds just let them go, which is what they do, then they should have sued the Feds.
It would be a lot easier to get a court to agree that the FedGov MUST enforce its laws than it will be to get a court to agree that a state can enforce Federal Law if the FedGov won’t.
Another thing Arizona could have done, which is within their Constitutional purview, is to have formed a State Militia to vigorously patrol the border, turning back illegals as they try to enter, and confiscating drugs for a daily burn pile.
What Recession?
Our government continues to party like it’s 1999!
