...that wouldn't have been necessary if the U.S. Government had done their job properly and enforced existing federal laws. Which begs the question: can Arizona then sue the feds for not doing the job in the first place? From today's Arizona Republic...

"It's particularly strange to see the federal government step in when so many different groups are moving to challenge the law," said Jonathan Turley, a constitutional-law expert at George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C. "I think part of the reason is political. The White House clearly wants to signal its opposition to the law."

Still, when the federal government does intervene, it is more common for it to let a private party take the lead and to support that party by filing a friend-of-the-court brief, legal experts
say.

That was the case in 1940, when the Justice Department supported private citizens who challenged the constitutionality of a Pennsylvania state law that required all non-citizens 18 years or older to register with the state once a year, carry an alien-registration card with them at all times and show that card whenever it was demanded by a police officer or a state official. Aliens who refused to register could be fined and jailed.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1941 that the Pennsylvania law was unconstitutional, in part because the U.S. Constitution gives the federal government, not the states, the power over immigration, naturalization and deportation.

Let Eric Holder and his Obama-directed leftist DOJ sue Arizona. Let's see 'em struggle with defending their own inactions that necessitated Arizona's law in the first place.

We've two Americas today. There's that one in power now, represented by Obama, filled with elitist leftist snobs who are concerned more with collecting votes for their continuation of a run of political power. Then we have those who support Arizona's legislation, folks who work every single day to support their families, who pay their taxes, teach their children morals and values, and be good, law-abiding citizens. Obama represents the opposite viewpoint; he's collected the moocher sorts and is happily attracting those who think this country owes them a good life, regardless of their actions. Us: reaching out for the opportunity to have a good life, within bounds of the law. Them: taking from us to support those who won't or can't do for themselves, or do so illegally.

There's a gap separating us, the Left and the Right. And it's never going to get any better.
