Obama administration sources tell ABC News that Attorney General Eric Holder is expected to file a lawsuit against the state of Arizona for its immigration law, likely next week.

The suit has been expected for some time now. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told a South American television interviewer that the president had told the Justice Department to file the suit on the basis that it's the constitutional responsibility of the federal government -- not states -- to set immigration policy.

In the midst of two wars, a major environmental catastrophe and unemployment hovering at nine percent -- this is what the administration wants to spend it's time on? A court challenge to a state law that 64 percent of Americans approve of?
