I didn't think that was the reason. IMHO, BO wants to fast track these 30 Million Democrats, I mean illegals, to the polls. Any opposition threatens his power base dreams.
Per Judicial Watch:
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued the following statement today on the new push to defend SB 1070:
Our work to defend SB 1070 for Senator Pearce may be the most important piece of litigation that Judicial Watch has undertaken in its 16 year history. In many ways, this comes down to a fight between those who want to enforce the law and those who do not. The Obama White House wants to kill this law because it does not want to bear its constitutional responsibility to secure the border and enforce the law. We are proud to stand with Arizona State Sen. Pearce, Governor Brewer and the citizens of Arizona in support of the rule of law.”
