TheWashingtonTimes: The Obama administration said Monday it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police.
Administration officials, speaking on condition they not be named, told reporters they expect to see an increase in the number of calls they get from Arizona police — but that won’t change President Obama’s decision to limit whom the government actually tries to detain and deport.
This is not only a slap at the singular decision upheld by the Court, but an arrogant thwarting of Arizona's sovereignty and the rule of our nation's law, as well as displaying blatant contempt for the Court's dissenters, in particular, Scalia's comments that I mentioned in the addendum of the previous post.
ADDENDUM: Jeffrey Lord hit the nail on the head as well...
"Progressives need to play the politics of race or they are out of business. So Secretary Janet Napolitano has just played the race card -- effectively telling the Court to drop dead. Who cares about the Constitution when the Latino vote is so critical? Shades of George Wallace."
