That wet popping sound you hear? Yeah...
Arizona is a strange place. They re-elect McCain and they want to lock up Sheriff Joe.
Well I am glad the old man is free. May he enjoy what's left of his life.
Don't forget the appropriately named Jeff Flake.
Vermont is a strange place as well. Somehow they manage to elect Socialists to high government offices, yet there are gun stores all over the place and the general vibe is wholesome and family friendly, while a disproportionate number of homeless people are panhandling on the street. Burlington is their largest city, so you'd think if there were crazy Leftists running around that's where they'd be, but it doesn't appear so. They do, however, name everything after Pat Leahy and Bernie Sanders, just like Iraq did with Saddam Hussein. So maybe that's it - citizens are scared to vote against them.
I believe after this election we can forget about Flake. Surely Arizona has had enough of him.

The DOJ re-elected McCain? How'd you come to that conclusion?'They' was the DOJ, not 'Arizona' as a state.

I was listening to WMAL on the drive in this morning, and most of what I "know" about Sheriff Joe is - well, not totally true.
For one thing, they said he hadn't even been sentenced at the time of the pardon - it was pre-emptive, as it were.
Another is that the entire thing started with a lawsuit filed in 2007. Yes, I've read about many other legal concerns, but I'm referring just to the one that ultimately lead to his conviction on a contempt of court.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about Sheriff Joe - you should never be able to arrest someone just because you suspect they're here illegally - but he is combating people and groups who WANT people to be here illegally. I'm not sure how you win that battle, especially when everyone in the federal government seems to be opposed to stopping illegal immigration .
You need to speak in complete thoughts. This is like a Microsoft answer, it may be a complete sentence, but it conveys no information.no prosecuted Sheriff Joe
One doesn’t not need to be sentenced nor even convicted in order to receive and accept a pardon. Reference back to Ford’s pardon of Nixon. Nixon hadn’t even been charged with anything when his pardon came through. It’s interesting that Ford justified his pardon of Nixon using Burdick v. United States, U.S. Supreme Court decision that suggested that a pardon carried an imputation of guilt and that acceptance carried a confession of guilt. So, if that holds true, Sheriff Joe, by accepting Trump’s pardon will be admitting guilt.For one thing, they said he hadn't even been sentenced at the time of the pardon - it was pre-emptive, as it were.

Agree with you here. Police are supposed to enforce the laws equally to all. Certainly not based on ethnicity.I have a lot of mixed feelings about Sheriff Joe - you should never be able to arrest someone just because you suspect they're here illegally - but he is combating people and groups who WANT people to be here illegally.
