   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.
