Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio has made a long-shot request with the U.S. Supreme Court to put on hold his criminal trial that began a week ago and is scheduled for closing arguments on Thursday.
His lawyers argued in court papers made available Monday that the trial should be stopped because Arpaio is being denied the right to have a jury decide whether he’s guilty of a contempt-of-court charge. As it now stands, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton will decide if he’s guilty of the misdemeanor charge for disobeying a 2011 court order to stop his traffic patrols that targeted immigrants.
Criminal defense attorney Mike Black, who isn’t involved in Arpaio’s case but witnessed testimony at his trial as a spectator, said the former sheriff has zero chance of persuading the nation’s highest court to stop the trial.

Easy fix here. “Someone” could order the NSA to publish all of “Her Honorable” Judge Susan Bolton’s emails with the 0bama administration. I would bet good money there is something that can be found there that impeaches her. Sauce for the goose and all that...
They are charging him with a crime but denying him the right of trial by jury?
Yea, the constitution is dead.
And the libs love “criminal trial.” Never happens with their people. He defied Soviet style judges and gets a Soviet style trial.
He tried to STOP this massive, illegal invasion of our country & the deep state now want’s its revenge.
This looks like an easy pardon for President Trump.
Trump needs to hire Arpaio for director of federal prisons or something equally appropriate.
Yep; pardon then hire him if he will take the job. He’s no spring chicken though and his wife is ill and needs him at home.
Arpaio has written that his legal defense has cost millions!
Didn’t Obama ignore the courts several time and nothing happen?
“All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.”
That “targeted immigrants” or ILLEGAL immigrants?
The law’s gotta start hitting these idiots with accessory charges.
This pos judge was acting in support of criminals that came into our country illegally.
That is a violation of law.
Judges don’t get to do what they want when they want just because they want. Who do they think they are, journalists?
Agreed. I am praying for Trump to step up and show his integrity on this. This issue was the cornerstone of his campaign.
Alas, while Trump is fulfilling many of his other promises, he shows no interest in bringing justice to the American people.
Rice. Lerner, Lynch, and Clinton walk free and uninvestigated while this good man who served the public with honor will be destroyed while Trump stands by to watch.
The liberal activist U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton already has decided he’s guilty of the misdemeanor charge for disobeying a 2011 court order to stop his traffic patrols that targeted immigrants.
The communist leftists have been after him for years.
Arpaio is being charged in federal court for violating a judge's order to stop enforcing the law.
Where is Sessions on this?
Joe Arpaio is being railroaded by the communist left with a communist judge in violation of Constitutional law , evil days.
Sheriff Joe Arpaio is a Patriot.
Joe Arpaio is being railroaded by the communist left with a communist judge in violation of Constitutional law , evil days.
It’s the Federal Criminal “justice” system. Once in you are effed, as the prosecution wins ninety to ninety five percent of the time, regardless of “justice”. I know a few personally and many many others by story. Frankly Scarlett, it you make it to court you have beat some of the odds already. You could have been killed/murdered before you ever got your day in court.
He's probably recused himself again........
Finding Sessions is like "Where's Waldo."
Sessions is worthless. Why the hell did he even take the job?
