GOP loses bid to block suit against AZ law

WASHINGTON — Senate Democrats have turned back a move by Republicans to block the Justice Department from pursuing its lawsuit to overturn Arizona's controversial immigration law.
The bid by South Carolina Republican Jim DeMint to nix the lawsuit came out on the losing end of a 55-43 vote. Five Democrats voted against the lawsuit while two Republicans voted not to kill it.
The law requires officers, while enforcing other laws, to check a person's immigration status if there's a reasonable suspicion the person is in the country illegally.
The administration argues that the law is unconstitutional because immigration is a federal responsibility. Some claim the law will result in racial profiling.
