Winning the Case, Losing the Principle
Arizona won, but the sovereignty of states suffered a setback.

Don’t hold your breath waiting for the most politicized Justice Department in American history to drop its imperious lawsuit against the people of Arizona — those impertinent subjects who dare to demand enforcement of the immigration laws Pres. Barack Obama deems null and void.

It is true that this week, in upholding Arizona’s sanctions against employers who hire illegal aliens, the Supreme Court implicitly undermined the preemption-by-executive-fiat theory underlying the administration’s suit. By a 5–3 majority (with Justice Elena Kagan, Obama’s former solicitor general, having recused herself), the Court held that a state is not barred from enacting laws that are consistent with federal statutes and bolster congressional purposes. That is to say, the touchstone of preemption remains law, which is what Congress prescribes, not policy, which is a president’s political calculation about what laws to enforce or not enforce.

http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/6979365/feeding-the-media-middle-east-dragon.thtml The brazenness of the lie just makes you gasp. Obama’s attempted ambush of Israel over the ‘1967 lines’ has been boomeranging in all kinds of ways, including in Israel itself. Netanyahu’s magisterial and strategically shrewd resistance has resulted in Netyanyahu’s ratings back home going though the roof. Ha’aretz has reported that, according to an […]

But Wednesday’s announcement that Egypt […]
