In this thread over at Pajamas Media, where they’re talking about Arizona’s inherent right to enforce federal immigration law, a commenter named Sharpshooter brings up a magnificent point – one that could qualify for Comment Of The Year™.
Why do the states and their agencies have to enforce Federal drugs laws, etc?
That, in a nutshell, could be considered People’s Exhibit Number One™ as to why Arizona’s law must be allowed to stand.
If 1070 is overturned, it sets a catastrophically dangerous precedent for any state ignoring federal drug laws, laws against murder, robbery, etc.  Calfornication, for example, could easily decide that it no longer has to enforce federal drug laws – not that they do now, anyway, but you get the point.
Bambi and Eric Holder would do very well to drop this POS lawsuit, and avoid the potential unintended consequence.
They won’t, of course – you could put their combined brains in a thimble and still have room left over for my thumb – but they should.

Looking back over the past 18 or so months, one has to wonder if anyone at the White House actually thinks. Some examples of not thinking.
1. The President, not having the complete story, accuses the Cambridge MA police department of having acted stupidly.
2. With nothing more to go on than an obviously edited video, the White House fires a relatively low level employee.
3. Not stopping to think how their actions could impact the broader law enforcement picture, the White House sues Arizona, saying that states can’t enforce Federal law.
