Hillary Clinton Announced That The White House Will Sue Over Arizona's New Immigration Law.
It is not clear whether Clinton was just making a prediction or whether she was getting ahead of a planned announcement by the administration. If this was fact, why would the Obama regime allow Clinton to announce it while talking to a local TV reporter during her trip to Ecuador?
Perhaps the Secretary did not get the right talking points. "The Justice Department, under his direction (Obama), will be bringing a lawsuit against the act," she blabbed.
That news of course did not make Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer very happy. "To learn of this lawsuit through an Ecuadorean interview with the secretary of state is just outrageous," she said in a statement."
If our own government intends to sue our state to prevent illegal immigration enforcement, the least it can do is inform us before it informs the citizens of another nation."

CBS News reports that a "senior administration official" has confirmed to them that Hillary Clinton was telling the truth in the interview with an Ecuadorian media outlet. The Obama administration will file a lawsuit in federal court to block Arizona’s new law requiring law-enforcement personnel to check immigration status while processing suspicious people already in custody.
The Obama regime will indeed formally challenge the law when Justice Department lawyers are finished building the case. Governor Jan Brewer blasted Obama and his administration for their handling of this policy direction and I believe many Americans will agree. Meanwhile, Obama will continue to pursue a policy that is even less popular than his ObamaCare bill, just in time for the midterm referendum on his first two years in office.
