The federal government now has the “right” not to enforce its own laws? Then why have a congress? Why even enact laws? Jim Madison is spinning in his grave.

Basically they are arguing that enforcement of laws is optional. But this is exactly what Obastard believes since he told the Justice Dept to not enforce the laws against voter intimidation.

Sounds like a plan to me. If the Federal Government continues to maintain that it doesn’t have to enforce its own laws, then logically, the citizens don’t have to abide by laws that the Federal Government passes.

Actually, the Executive Branch does indeed have that right. And the Arizona law does nothing change that.

As far as the legal aspect goes, the Feds case has no merit whatsoever. The Federal government continues to have exclusive supremacy here. The Arizona law does not usurp federal law in any way.
