A contemptible suit
NY Post ^ | July 08, 2010 | Editorial

Posted on 07/08/2010 2:41:47 AM PDT by Scanian

The White House says President Obama had nothing to do with the Justice Department's challenge to Arizona's immigration law, insisting the decision was Attorney General Eric Holder's alone.

Please.

This is a political lawsuit, driven by Obama's drop in the polls among Hispanics and Democrats' hope of bringing out Latinos this fall by hanging an anti-immigrant millstone around the GOP's neck.

The Arizona statute, on the other hand, is chiefly about the rule of law.

That Obama and Holder, along with Arizona's other critics, choose not to understand this speaks volumes.

The lawsuit does not accuse Gov. Jan Brewer and Arizona of violating the Constitution's "equal protection" clause -- curious, given the loud charges that the law will lead to massive racial profiling.

Instead, it accuses Phoenix of "crossing a constitutional line" by interfering with federal authority over immigration.

This is a bold-faced power grab by the regime. It is aimed at intimidating and silencing all of the States and people into submission to the Obama Administration.

Islam means submission to (the will of) God (as determined by Imams).

Obama is such a liar. He needs his mouth washed out with soap.

“The White House says President Obama had nothing to do with the Justice Department’s challenge to Arizona’s immigration law, insisting the decision was Attorney General Eric Holder’s alone.”

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Oh, that’s good. That’s really very, very funny.... clearly someone, somewhere, has an excellent sense of humor.

We know Obama is a broken reed, but seriously?

e can’t stand up to his own AG - a man who serves solely at his pleasure?

Hillary announced in Equador about three weeks ago that the feds were suing Arizona. Why does Obama pretend Holder “acted alone”? If their mouth is open, they are lying.

Probably for the same reason that Hilly’s old man pretended that Janet Reno acted alone in Waco.
