Following the best practices is only good for as long as all the players are staying within the guidelines of the game. As is increasingly the case, when the Obama Administration doesn't like the game rules or the outcome they swipe board clean and make their own rules.
In the case of Arizona vs The Obama Administration it has been an ongoing battle for almost 4 years, so I would not consider their actions rash or at the drop of a hat. Arizona has attempted to work in good faith with the Administration and they in turn have given Arizona the one fingered salute and ordered agencies to ignore Arizona's requests.
As a comparison, what would you do if someone continually came to your home to vandalize it and threaten you, and the Local PD that you rely on to Serve and Protect ignored all your calls for help? What would you do? Keep calling (like the rules state) and pray things don't escalate beyond destruction of property and verbal threats?
