#1 So the feds think they can force a state to commit suicide?

For some reason, it seems to me that the founding fathers probably would have thought that this idea was so stupid that it wasn't worth writing into the Constitution.

#2 And furthermore, if this is the case, then perhaps AZ can keep it in the "indirect" territory by bussing all illegal aliens to Washington, DC. One way.

#3 Obama is playing politics with immigration, working for the next election. We are fighting over right and wrong. He could care less. So what we in Arizona must do is change our tactics. We need to drop 1070. Announce we dont have the time, money or effort to fight this. Then announce what we do have the time and money to fight is the law suits against him and the fed for not doing their job. Announce that Obama is supporting human trafficking and slave trade. Sue him for civil right violations on behalf of all the mexican in Arizona. Then sue the fed for the cost we spend to care for the Mexicans. I'm sure there are some civil right legal types that would love this. Tear apart his party from the inside. We have to get in the game with this idiot.

#4 The cynicism here is breathtaking. But let's not forget that both Tweedledum and Tweedledee play the pander-to-Aztlan game. It was a Republican president who pushed for and passed the original bill that opened the floodgates, the "Comprehensive Immigration Reform" (?) bill in 1986. Both of the GOP's candidates for national office in the California races this fall are bending over backwards to signal their opposition to Arizona's law.

We will not avoid Mexification so long as this political class retains power. Time for a new political class in this country.

#5 Now you're talkin Lex.

I'm for a good ol' fashioned 'scare the hell out of them' moment to snap them back to reality.

This won't hurt THE ONE a bit.

Even if he loses, he will be slamming the right as racist and further establishing a brown coalition for years, playing the race card for all it's worth, he needs it, the left needs it, ( they have been historically the most racist party in the U.S. Look it up).
I think this lawsuit is brilliant politics on his part.
