Obama administration poised to challenge Arizona immigration law

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.

All AZ has to due is refuse to prosecute anyone who is accused of federal tax evasion. To do that, you must seat juries that will not convict.

Let's hope Brewer has all of these suggestions here still up her sleeve, waiting to use at the appropriate time.

That lady has shown a tremendous amount of courage and conviction, this Country needs more like her!

I have a bad feeling about this. AZ may give in to Obama and Co. someway/somehow.

Are you kidding? Jan Brewer has been like Churchill.

Could SCOTUS determine that both the AZ and the Federal immigration laws are unConstitutional? If so, what then?

Or is that 56?

It's 59, actually -- the 57 states Obama claimed to have visited, and the two more he hadn't yet gotten to.

Boy, this reeks out loud. It's like suing yourself. They must be REALLY desperate for votes or the income taxes.

Has Obama no sense of shame in his entire body?

He is the dum Zero Jedi kid... trained orphan of opportunity to exploit in order to be an idiot in power as can be... Make love with them and then war when they cannot assume. Liberals want us to pay for maintaining their peace, their miserable whore marriage... it’s not going to happen... THe “I’m with stupid {f@g}” shirt takes on new heights.

Oh, and watch the wifey of his, she is a monster of her own kind and probably a shot caller of the most extremist kind. She will do the Winnie Mandella dirty job of necklacing opposition.
