Let the courts decide: Go ahead and challenge the Arizona law!

Yesterday, Sec Clinton told a reporter in Ecuador (yes I said Ecuador) that the Obama administration plans to challenge the Arizona law.

She did not say "where or when"!

We are still waiting for AG Holder to confirm that the Obama administration is really going to file a lawsuit.

Sec Clinton told the reporter that it's up to the federal government to fix immigration.

We agree that the federal government has a constitutional duty to secure our borders and enforce immigration laws.

Memo to Sec Clinton: Who is the federal government? Didn't you people win the election?

Sec Clinton's comments have created a little confusion up here:

First, why are talking about this in Ecuador? Shouldn't the Obama administration talk about such legal challenges here?

Second, how long does it take full time lawyers in the Justice Dept to read, review and brief AG Holder about the Arizona law? After all, it is only 10 pages long and very simple to read.

Third, this is an extremely popular law in the US. Poll after poll shows that most Americans support it!

I think that the Obama administration is caught between political reality (the polls) and growing dissatisfaction in the Dem base.

Also, there is no certainty that the challenge will reverse the Arizona law.

What if the courts agree that Arizona's law is simply calling for the enforcement of current immigration law?

In other words, Arizona did not create or invent any new laws.

So let's see what happens when the challenge actually happens. Let's see what happens when the federal government goes after a state enforcing existing immigration laws.

Politics aside, I want the courts to decide, for once and for all!

By the way, Arizona is ready for the challenge whenever the Obama administration gets around to it......If they get around to it at all!
