Everyone knew the Chicago gang of thugs were gonna pull this, so it’s no surprise:
The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Arizona’s new law targeting illegal immigrants, setting the stage for a clash between the federal government and the state over the nation’s toughest immigration crackdown.
The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Phoenix argues that Arizona’s law requiring state and local police to question and possibly arrest illegal immigrants during the enforcement of other laws such as traffic violations usurps federal authority.
“It is wrong that our own federal government is suing the people of Arizona for helping to enforce federal immigration law. As a direct result of failed and inconsistent federal enforcement, Arizona is under attack from violent Mexican drug and immigrant smuggling cartels,” Brewer said in a written statement. “Now, Arizona is under attack in federal court from President Obama and his Department of Justice. Today’s filing is nothing more than a massive waste of taxpayer funds.”
From Facebook:
It is done. We’ve expected it for weeks, and now we have it. The DoJ has just filed suit, arguing that SB1070 “violates the supremacy clause of the Constitution”. They will seek an injunction to delay the July 29th implementation date of the law. 1070 architect Kris Kobach says the suit is 100% political and will fail in court, as the law was “specifically crafted” to anticipate such a challenge. Regardless of the outcome, it is disgraceful that the Federal government, given stories such as Sheriff Babeau’s below, is making Arizona the enemy, and defending the enemies of the rule of law.
Co-author Russell Pierce rightfully called the suit an “absolute insult to the rule of law” as well as to Arizona and its residents. It is all that and more. The die is cast. This is much bigger than Arizona now. We will punish those who have done this on November 2nd. SWA will publish detailed records on border security and amnesty of every Representative up for election this year. ANGRY? REMEMBER IN NOVEMBER. That will be the “Peoples’ Injunction”.

I find it curious how this Justice Department can trump this up, over illegal immigration, but it can’t manage to handle a the crystal clear case of voter intimidation by Black Panthers.
We all know what this is about. It’s a voter registration drive for the Democrat party.
