Smokin' Gun Joe gets POTUS pardon

[bbsam]

In the 9th circuit?
Not too sure about that!

Opinion?

He would've been murdered immediately in prison by the cartel.

Nah they'd throw him in with the chomos and the other outcasts

I still wear my Sheriff Joe tee-shirt I bought out in Arizona years ago. Its always good for a conversation starter. I think I will wear it tomorrow to the races. There was a time when Sheriff Joe was loved by everyone except illegals and crooks. Now days it seems like everyone under 50 loves the illegals and crooks.

Maybe you should get a shirt that says I love sheriff Joe, friend* the 4th amendment.

 

[Sportello]

I guess you don't know any brown people in Maricopa county.

Put that piece of dung in pink underwear, feed him green bologna and gave him spend a month in a tent In the AZ Summer.

Human garbage, he is.

You know he was arresting and holding without charge anyone that looked Mexican, right? You might as well wear a klan hood for a conversation starter.

I never said the guy was perfect---I just said at one time early in his career he was like a god and could do no wrong by the law abiding citizens of Az.

The guy got re-elected a million times

But better than a Nazi!

I don't think it was a million times ... just saying.

Arpaio Pardon Would Show Contempt for Constitution

I was gonna try to get witty, but honestly, the article in the above link sums it up perfectly.

The Constitution provides three co-equal branches of government, each with separate powers: it's the best Venn diagram ever.

If Trump were to pardon Arpaio, he would be severing the balance between the executive and the judiciary, basically nullifying the judiciarys 'check' on the executive.

Forget Trump and Arpaio for a second, is this expansion of Presidential reach a good idea?

What a horrible precedent: it could easily turn into 'do what I say, even if it's illegal or unconstitutional, and I'll just pardon you'.

This power-grab is exactly what the founding fathers were trying to deny by setting up our government the way they did.

And, for the Trump fans out there, if Obama or (gasp) Hillary had tried to do something similar to this, you'd be having aneurysms.

Just saying.

Every Prez does it.
Obama did it more than any Prez.

Quit acting like a and stop whining about Obama.

Another fine example of 'whataboutism'.

'What about Obama...', etc.

Sorry, no, none of Obamas pardons looked anything like this.

I'll tell you just like I told my sister some 55 years ago ...
"You ain't my mother! I'll do whatever I want to."
Note: @cheryl thinks she's my mother so I go along with it.

Other than most, if not all, were convicted by a jury of their peers ... what else?

Did Obama not wait until a sentence was issued and announce it during a cat 4 hurricane landfall?

Nope ... he was't that sharp!

Nope ... he was't that stupid.
