As I wrote earlier in the day, “Rather than fixing the issue, Obama and his Peeps would rather go after those trying to fix the problem, and block all efforts to resolve the root issue.” After discussing Hillary Clinton’s comments re: suing Arizona for daring to go it alone and protect the citizens of Arizona from criminals, CBS News tells us
Now a senior administration official tells CBS News that the federal government will indeed formally challenge the law when Justice Department lawyers are finished building the case. The official said Justice is still working on building the case.
Without know who, it is rather hard to judge CBS’ information, particularly since, later in the story, they state that a DoJ official said they were still considering, which probably means they are trying to figure out how to sue Arizona when the majority of Americans support the law without tanking Obama’s approval ratings even further. Also, they are probably having a difficult time getting a copy of the law to actually read. Or understanding it, since it is so short.

The AZ Attorney General said that his office will NOT defend the law in court.

So? His job is to defend the law and the fact that he is choosing not to shows that he is just a partisan hack.
He is more interested in politics than his ethical obligations to the state and people of Arizona.
