The Obama administration plans to file suit challenging Arizona's immigration law, officials told Fox News on Friday.
... an official told Fox News on Friday that while the review is still underway, the decision has already been made that a Department of Justice suit will be filed. The administration at this point is just building its case.
Another official said there are still "substantial" issues to address and work out before the Justice Department knows that it has a strong enough...
How about wasting the taxpayers money by filing frivolous lawsuits that serve nothing other than a political agenda?

You are neglecting to realize the states could also choose to refuse to remit tax funds to the federal government.
The feds only have what the people and the states choose to remit to them.

Never mind that the Arizona law isn’t in any way determining immigration “policy.” The law simply allows for Arizona authorities to detain those in violation of federal immigration laws. But let’s not let a few facts get in the way. Let’s explore that notion for a moment.
Even though the federal government is empowered under Article 1, section 8 of the Constitution to “establish a uniform rule of naturalization”, it in no way diminishes the right of a single state to enforce said rule as it sees fit. Arizona has not usurped federal authority of establishing naturalization; they have simply established a set of guidelines to enforce the law.
Why will Obama sue Arizona? Because he’s a statist who believes that the federal government is the be all end all for everything. The federal government is operated in Washington D.C., far away from the border invasion going on in Arizona. Who better than Arizonans to combat their problem?

Obama administration lawyers are planning to file a legal challenge to a controversial Arizona immigration law within a month, according to a senior administration official.
The Justice Department would not confirm the claim, saying only that "The Justice Department is continuing to review the law."
Federal government lawyers who have been working on the expected challenge for several weeks will most likely file their arguments in federal court in Phoenix in the days leading up to July 28, when the statute is scheduled to take effect, the official said.

The Confederate States seceded because they could not abide a growing central government dictating to sovereign states what they would and would not be allowed to do. They believed, so much, in the original constitution of the Founding Fathers that they copied it as the Constitution of the Confederacy. Google the Confederate Constitution and read it for yourselves. You will note a few changes, such as a single 6-year term for the President, but by and large, it is the original US Constitution.
We are living history today. We are watching our country break apart,a little at a time, and the root cause is the imposition of a central government, controlled by Socialist, Progressives, Marxists, Statists, Liberals, and even the odd Maoist thrown in here and there, which is drunk on power and lusting for even more.
Americans are losing their hard won freedom little by little as the Obama Regime takes advantage of every crisis, real or imagined, or just plain manufactured to instill fear in Americans that their only salvation is in falling at the feet of Obama, and his minions, and worshiping by sacrificing their freedom and swearing fealty to the current socialist regime which is, every day it seems, simply assuming the powers of an American dictatorship.
I have news for the socialists in charge of our government. Their orgy of power will end, and end very soon, or they will have only a part of the existing states to run rampant over with their atrocious acts of barbarism and vandalism aimed at the few freedoms the American citizens have left.
As much as the federal government likes to believe, and delude others into believing the states are not sovereign entities, they are WRONG!
The U.S. Justice Department is filing a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Arizona's new law targeting illegal immigrants, setting the stage for a clash between the federal government and state over the nation's toughest immigration crackdown.
The planned lawsuit was confirmed to The Associated Press by a Justice Department official with knowledge of the plans. The official didn't want to be identified before a public announcement planned for later Tuesday.
The lawsuit will argue that Arizona's new measure requiring state and local police to question and possibly arrest illegal immigrants during the enforcement of other laws, like traffic stops, usurps federal authority.
Tuesday's action has been expected for weeks. President Barack Obama has called the state law misguided. Supporters say it is a reasonable reaction to federal inaction on immigration.
