From Friday night’s Fox News All-Stars.

On the Obama administration’s confirming that it will file a lawsuit against the Arizona immigration law:

I support the law — with some trepidation — I hope it’s enforced the way it’s intended to be. But I support it and I want it challenged in the courts. I want the courts to decide if it’s constitutional.
If this case wins in the Supreme Court, where I suspect it’ll end up eventually, it will be extremely important. Firstly, it will cause an epidemic of similar laws in other states and localities. And secondly, it will be a standing rebuke to the federal government for its scandalous and deliberate dereliction of duty on enforcing the immigration laws. I think it’ll be an important day in the fight against illegal immigration.
It’ll be interesting to see whether the administration challenges on the narrow grounds that Hillary spoke about, namely, the question of federalism and does a state have the power to pass a law on an issue that, it will be argued, is exclusively a federal responsibility. Or, will it do it more ideologically honestly on the grounds of equal protection?
That’s the reason the president opposes it. He thinks it’ll be used to harass Hispanics and therefore it’s a violation of the equal protection clause under the law. Either way I think it [the administration’s lawsuit] will lose and I think it will be a good day for those who want to stop illegal immigration.
