The judge is about to find out she no longer has any say in the matter.

So what’s she going to do? Re-arrest him? Try to keep him in jail until he dies?

This is the clearest indication that the entire charge and how the trial was managed was a political vendetta. The Judge needs to go.

A pardon doesn't overturn a conviction at all. It just eliminates any punishment for it.

This isn't a case of a judge overstepping her authority. The timing of Trump's pardon of Arpaio was actually bad -- because Arpaio already had a motion before the judge to overturn his conviction. Despite the pardon, it's Arpaio who is pushing to have this motion heard. He'd rather have the conviction overturned (which means it isn't reflected anywhere in his record) than accept the pardon (which means it is).

This is funny. A pardon is simply forgiveness.

If she knows so little about the President’s powers as set forth in the Constitution, how far does her ignorance extend on other legal matters?

IMHO this just proves that this was nothing but a kangaroo court.

She can’t do that, and should be arrested for contempt herself if she tries.

I didn’t think you could do that. I’d have federal marshalls arrest the judge.

My guess is that the Constitution is pretty clear regarding the President’s powers to pardon and what can happen,and cannot happen,to the recipient of such a pardon.

If I were Trump, I’d send a US Marshall over to arrest her.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton needs to be removed from the bench.

Trump has acted in accordance with the law, and she no longer as any judicial standing in this matter.

If she follows through here, toss her out on her soft head.

I say lock her up with illegals who are murders and rapists.

Everyone is equal in prison.

A presidential pardon eliminates punishment for a crime. The actual conviction, though, stays on the record if this commie judge doesn’t overturn it.

The pardon power is something placed in the body of the Constitution by the Founders - it isn’t even an amendment. It is a power that cannot be reviewed or modified in any way.

Methinks that Judge Bolton needs to be impeached if she is incapable of understanding this. She has, of course, the right to her opinion. If she wanted to pen and op-ed about this, or write a letter to Trump or members of Congress about it, I’m fine with that. But a pardon is a pardon. The future of Joe Arpaio is clear - he CANNOT serve a single day in jail, nor be fined, nor punished in any way at all for the offense for which Trump pardoned him.

Please, Bolton, throw him in jail. I WANT to see not only a Section 1983 suit for your violation of Arpaio’s civil rights under color of law, but I WANT to see at least one federal judge impeached and removed from office by Congress in my lifetime. Do it, PLEASE!

Susan is not a judge. Susan is a paid political hack that needs a good stoning
