Just my opinion.

The DoJ is doing what it should do...taking the time to review the law at various internal levels before they proceed or make a final determination.
Too bad Holder and the others couldn't take your advice and say they didn't know or would rather wait until they reviewed it before making accusations and comments based upon the media. They are the ones who made determinations without having read the bill or knowing all the facts.

But in any case, it is the federal judiciary, not the executive branch, will make that determination (civics 101, dude)... with two or three cases already filed....whether any of us like or not.
Getting all snarky again - lol. This is a perfect example of why nothing gets accomplished quickly or economically in your business. All the endless circular arguments, deflections and distractions.

Lets review. The feds didn't uphold their responsibilities in AZ and elsewhere. AZ asked them repeatedly to do so. AZ was ignored repeatedly. After months. perhaps years, of no reply. AZ says fine we'll do it ourselves. AZ models a law to match that of the Fed statutes that the Feds aren't enforcing. Fed has egg on face and is embarrassed. Feds take action based upon what AZ was asking for initially.
