I really hope he does.  I can't believe how hard the Dems are trying to 
patronize their far left kook base.  They are handing Congress to the 
Republicans in the fall.  These are not smart people...

Holder Floats Possibility of Racial Profiling Suit Against Arizona

Published July 11, 2010

Attorney General Eric Holder, just days after filing a federal lawsuit 
against Arizona's immigration law, on Sunday floated the possibility of 
filing another suit on racial profiling grounds. 

The lawsuit filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Arizona claimed the 
state was infringing on federal immigration responsibilities and urged 
the judge to prevent the law from going into effect at the end of July. 
Despite some officials' claims that the law could lead to racial 
profiling, that concern was not cited as grounds for the suit. 

However, Holder said on CBS' "Face the Nation" that the federal 
government was leading with its "strongest" argument in the suit filed 
Tuesday and would not rule out a second suit months down the road -- if 
the law ends up going into effect. 

"It doesn't mean that if the law for whatever reason happened to go into 
effect, that six months from now, a year from now, we might not look at 
the impact the law has had ... and see whether or not there has been 
that racial profiling impact," Holder said. "If that was the case, we 
would have the tools and we would bring suit on that basis."

Holder, reacting to the firestorm of criticism from Republicans and 
border-state lawmakers, said the Justice Department decided to file the 
suit because Arizona's immigration law is "inconsistent" with federal 
policy and the U.S. Constitution. He said there's nothing to stop local 
jurisdictions and states from helping the government enforce immigration 
law, but described Arizona's law as contradictory to what the federal 
government is trying to accomplish. 

The law makes illegal immigration a state crime. It requires local law 
enforcement to question anyone they suspect of being an illegal 
immigrant on their immigration status -- provided they don't stop them 
for that reason alone. 

Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., disputed Holder's characterization. Speaking on 
"Fox News Sunday," he said Arizona's law is trying to help, not hinder, 
the federal government's immigration efforts.
