This Administration has little interest in the country or the American people. It doesn’t see anything but its own political interest.

The refusal of the President to enforce Federal law may be reason for impeachment.

(720 ILCS 5/29D‑14.9) (was 720 ILCS 5/29D‑30) Sec. 29D‑14.9. Terrorism. (a) A person commits the offense of terrorism when, with the intent to intimidate or coerce a significant portion of a civilian population: (1) he or she knowingly commits a terrorist act as defined in Section 29D‑10(1) of this Code within this State; or (2) he or she, while outside this State, knowingly commits a terrorist act as defined in Section 29D‑10(1) of this Code that takes effect within this State or produces substantial detrimental effects within this State. (b) Sentence. Terrorism is a Class X felony. If no deaths are caused by the terrorist act, the sentence shall be a term of 20 years to natural life imprisonment; if the terrorist act caused the death of one or more persons, however, a mandatory term of natural life imprisonment shall be the sentence if the death penalty is not imposed.

Illinois' anti-terrorism laws are invalid. They usurp Federal authority.

To paraphrase Huckleberry Finn..., Holder might say:

Hain't we got the 9th Circuit fools on our side? And ain't that a big enough majority in any Case?"

Arizona should immediately file a lawsuit against the US for all the expenses they have incurred trying to enforce the US immigration laws.

Sounds to me like the US gov't is trying to claim the problem as their own.

Okay, then, you own it!

they do a lawsuit against a state which passed a law lawfully which enforces fed law

yet they drop charges against black racists standing outside a voting station.

will the GOP mention this and get some balls for once?

Roberts will get his revenge yet again for Obama’s SotU speech.

Kennedy, actually - DEMS blame him for the deciding vote in the Citizens United case.

FYI: Kennedy supposedly has told friends that he won't retire until Obama is gone ...

If only the feds can screw around with federal law, and if Obama goes down the road of cutting off state funding as has been hinted at, because the state will not get in line, then some judge somewhere, better have the sack to declare that every one of these sanctuary cities and states must also lose federal funding, because they are usurping federal authority as well.

Where are the lawsuits against Chicago and L.A.? They made their own laws regarding immigration policy, and those laws are CONTRARY to federal law, whereas the AZ law is just a mirror of federal law.

It boggles the mind.

The key damage Holder hopes to do is to enforce a ban on implementation throughout the November elections and possibly to 2012 for Bammer’s reCoronation.

According to Joe DiGenova [former US Attorney for DC], injunctions are rarely issued in this type of case. The law is presumed to be valid until it is ultimately litigated. If an injunction is granted, it can be appealed all the way up the chain to SCOTUS immediately and can be stayed.

So what happens if the Fed wins the case?

Then, I presume, any state law that requires enforcement of a federal law will be null and void ...

So the Obama regime has taken the side of Mexico against a US state? They are trying to destroy this country from the inside, and I hope the judicial branch slaps them down heavily for it.

And I hope Texas joins any countersuit...how about it, Gov. Slickhair?

Kagan was involved in recommending a separate AZ case to the supreme court -- to overturn a 2007 Arizona law that prohibits employers from knowingly hiring illegal immigrants. The state law was intended to lessen the economic incentive for immigrants to sneak into the U.S. by holding employers accountable for hiring them.

from link

--The letter signed by Tiahrt to Sen. Sessions states:

"It has come to our attention that Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan played a key role in authorizing the brief. According to a supplemental document she submitted to the Senate Judiciary Committee, Ms. Kagan indicated that it was she who, on April 12, 2010, recommended the government take the position that the Arizona law is pre-empted by Federal law.

"Though the final brief was submitted after Ms. Kagan had resigned her position as Solicitor General and does not include her signature, it is clear that she ultimately approved the position taken by those who authored the brief. Because this case could likely be heard by the Supreme Court, it is imperative that we know the extent of Ms. Kagan’s involvement in writing the brief, as well as the rationale behind her direct contravention of the letter of the law.
