I guess only certain laws get the scrutiny of the almighty Eric Holder.

I KNOW, I KNOW-THIS BELONGS IN DC BUT IDGAF!
I think that has more to do with the police powers vs immigration.
Police powers are reserved to the states with a little wiggle room for federal intervention. Immigration is reserved to the federal powers without toe room for state intervention.
