ANN ALTHOUSE ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT’S ARGUMENT in the Arizona immigration case: “To make it work legally, won’t they have to own pathetically weak enforcement as a deliberate and important policy? Won’t they have to be very clear that Arizona must shut up and accept the current situation? Who will get better political leverage out of this lawsuit — those who favor stronger enforcement of immigration law or those who favor leniency?”

And note this headline: Obama’s lawsuit against Arizona: Immigration is my responsibility to shirk. Heh.
