Obama sues Arizona over a law that has not even gone into effect

Amendment 9 - Construction of Constitution. Ratified 12/15/1791.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.


Amendment 10 - Powers of the States and People. Ratified 12/15/1791. Note

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people
.

I don't know, the words in those two Amendments seem pretty straightforward to me. The Constitution grants limited power to the Federal Government. The rest go to the States or the people. The rights listed is not a list of every right, just some. The balance belong to the States or the People too.

Arizona says we agree with the Federal Law regarding immigration. We also make the Federal Law a State law. If you are here illegally we are going to turn you over to the Feds. The People of Arizona agree.

On what grounds are the Feds suing Arizona?

It is a crime to murder someone, yet somehow the Feds say it is a Federal Crime if discrimination was involved. The Feds are saying it is a State and Fed issue, we agree and we can both charge you. Arizona is saying it is a State and Fed issue, we agree and we will both charge you.

What is the difference?

Obama does not want to enforce the laws and seal the border. Arizona does. Arizona Governor Brewer is making The Obama look bad for not doing his job. Obama will not stand for that.

Intimidating people at the polls -- OK. Enforcing existing laws not so much.

The Washington Kakostocracy wants America to be "like everyone else". I used to hear that term ad nauseam when growing up, now its becoming an enforced edict. Toward that end, it extends its hands across the non-extant southern border and lets as many Papist wetback "world citizens" in as are necessary to weaken the country and destroy its culture and economy.
It's how subversion works...Why do you think the political class have indebted U.S. trillions to the Chinese communists?
