Lexington's notebook Farewell to Arlen Specter Lexington Thirty precarious years in the middle of the road MY COLUMN on Arlen Specter is now THAT aspects of Arizona's immigration law are obnoxious I do not doubt. But it's far from clear that suing the state to strike it down under the supremacy clause of the constitution will end up being good for the cause of comprehensive immigration reform. It is striking, isn't it, that the decision has been opposed so vehemently by Tamar Jacoby of THAT aspects of Arizona's immigration law are obnoxious I do not doubt. But it's far from clear that suing the state to strike it down under the supremacy clause of the constitution will end up being good for the cause of comprehensive immigration reform. It is striking, isn't it, that the decision has been opposed so vehemently by Tamar Jacoby of ImmigrationWorks, who has been a long-time advocate of the sort of reform Barack Obama sketched out in his speech last week? I spoke to her. Her point is not merely that this will inflame the nearly 60% of Americans who say they support the Arizona statute but also that it will delight the tea-party movement (no better slogan than "states' rights") and poke a thumb in the eye of the very Republican senators (John McCain, John Kyl) whose support Mr Obama will most need if he is to get a serious bill through Congress in 2011.The case for the defence is of course that the Arizona law left the Department of Justice with no choice. The Arizona law is only the most egregious of a flood of state laws that really are pre-empting federal authority in this area. The Centre for American Progress makes the argument well here. But even if that is so, the net effect is going to be deeper polarisation and rancour around an issue that can only be solved by creating a bipartisan consensus in Congress. In the 19th century after courts struck down a succession of discriminatory local laws against Chinese immigrants the upshot was that Congress passed its own notorious Chinese Exclusion Act. Besides, what if the Feds fail to win in court? I'm not a lawyer, nor were meant to be, but I found this article sobering. More of this in Friday's column and then I'm off to Arizona (with my passport) to take a closer look...UPDATE: My print column on immigration is here. In this week's paper I also reviewed the outlook for the mid-terms. If you are a Democrat, spare yourself some anguish by not clicking here.

There are more than 200,000 women in New York working as nannies, companions and housekeepers, whose lives are typified by long hours, meagre wages, drudgery, and worse.

I'm not sure if calling the Democrats that endorsed you Republicans is the best way to make friends, especially if you just switched parties because you were afraid of not getting re-elected. But this guy is 160, so maybe we should cut him a little slack.
