1. Obama is not violating the constitution. Nobody has ever violated the constitution by filing a lawsuit. You can say it is political or whatever but don't be so melodramatic. It makes you look silly.

2. The law is barely in effect. I'd bet its a facial challenge to the law. The law outright bans racial profiling. I can't imagine this lawsuit winning on a facial challenge because facially it is constitutional. It might get struck down as an "as applied" case; however, I'm not sure because that would essentially be saying that the American immigration laws are unenforceable.

3. I'm not sure how this goes against the supremacy clause. The OP makes a good point in relation to this issue.
