WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department on Thursday urged the Supreme Court to stay out of a lawsuit involving Arizona's immigration law, saying lower courts properly blocked tough provisions targeting illegal immigrants.
The state law is a challenge to federal policy and is designed to establish Arizona's own immigration policy, the department's solicitor general said in a filing with the justices. Arizona says the law is an effort to cooperate with the federal government.

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer is seeking to overturn the judge's decision and wants Supreme Court review of the case, arguing that the issues are of compelling, nationwide importance.
The Justice Department disagreed.
"That several states have recently adopted new laws in this important area is not a sufficient reason for this court to grant review" of the first appeals court decision affirming a judge's preliminary ruling against part of one of those state laws, Justice told the high court.

Don’t worry, Congress will charge the current administration with sedition including O’bummer and impeach them all...tomorrow.
Does that mean the lower court ruling will apply to sanctuary cities who are also violating federal law?

Move along SCOTUS. Nothing to see here.
Gee, Just wait until Justice applies the same principle to criminal law.
Or, better yet, just wait til criminals find out they can ask the police to stay out of their affairs.
“Considering that Holder’s “Justice Department” has helped create problems in Border States with operation “Fast and Furious” and God only knows what else, I think the SCOTUS should get involved. The DOJ has a conflict of interest here and appears to be on the wrong side of the laws it insists it should have sole enforcement powers over.”
The last I knew , both Zero and Holder took and oath to “support and defend the Constitution from all enemies , foreign and domestic “...
How many times have you heard that we are a nation of LAWS ?
and yet both Zero and Holder are not enforcing the currently existing laws.
and yet both Zero and Holder then ‘over-reach’ in other legal areas , even presuming to tell the SCOTUS that there is nothing to see here .
The fact that Zero and Holder are on the wrong side of the law , especially when the law is explicit , and yet they fail to enforce the law of the land as it exists.
Such brazen brass chutzpah just fries me !
They have gone well beyond the lack of enforcement of our laws, and appear to be an integral part of a criminal conspiracy to violate those laws.

Talk about chutzpah! So, this is Chicago politics?
Can I shoot ‘em with my new rifle? I can do a 2” grouping at 30 yards. See my profile page, and scroll down near the bottom.
Why not? Now, an M40A1 106mm recoilless rifle loaded with an APERS round has 6,000 13-grain flechettes (think: roofing nails with fins). That would be even more fun because the flechettes “fishhook†on impact with soft tissue.
Oh I know. Didn’t mean to sound like I was shooting the messenger either. =)
I still maintain that ANY GOVERNOR can force the issue immediately and the SC will get involved overnight. The answer is simple, legal and right in front of our faces. The US Constitution is absolutely clear as to where jurisdiction lies when “A State is a Party to the Action” and that my friends is the Supreme Court, all other courts are inferior and have NO LEGALLY BINDING JURISDICTION. Tell the INFERIOR FEDERAL JUDGE to go pound sand, when he barks ARREST HIM FOR TYRANNY and lock his funny ass up and any Federal Employee that attempts to enforce an ILLEGAL ORDER by an INFERIOR COURT that has NO JURISDICTION under our Constitution to decide ANY MATTER where A STATE is involved. HOLD UP THE CONSTITUTION AND READ IT ALOUD ON TV, Let the people decide. Just because the Judicial Branch chooses to IGNORE THE CONSTITUTION does not necessarily mean that a STATE has to also. JUST SAY NO and force them to act NOW.
Should he steal "2012"; good chance; he will be emboldened to declare himself such.
