What would Martin Niemoller think about Arizona?

It's interesting that the DOJ suit that 'they' keep saying will be filed any second focuses not on 4th amendment or lawful contact issues, but on federal jurisdiction to set immigration policy.
I don't really get that, because the AZ law doesn't set new policy, it's just an attempt to enforce known public policy with state and local agencies.

On the other hand, we have California passing the Compassionate Use Act way back in '96 - that puts state law at direct odds with Federal.
