From Chris Matthews?

Money quote:
Let me finish tonight with this federal injunction against the new Arizona immigration law. First of all, it is a killer issue politically for the Democrats this fall and a huge windfall for the Right. It will anger even those people who believe the Arizona law went too far. It will dramatize the main case raised by the Tea Party people, that the federal government in Washington has become too powerful, that the rights of states have been terribly abridged. That is the political consequence and it will be felt mightily this November.
A conundrum: surely, Obama knew the political possibilities at the voting booth this November before filing law suit against Arizona. Why did he, then, go ahead with that law suit?
