Arpaio lawyer calls Democrats ‘narcissistic imbeciles’

Congressional Democrats escalated the battle over former Sheriff Joe Arpaio Wednesday, filing briefs urging a federal judge to ignore President Trump’s pardon and carry out sentencing for the controversial lawman.

The Democrats, led by the party’s senior members on the House Judiciary Committee, said Mr. Trump was showing his own contempt for the judiciary by issuing the pardon, and could even be seen to be endorsing Mr. Arpaio’s original behavior that landed him in hot water.

Legally, the Democrats said, only courts can be involved in contempt of court cases, and they said by trying to pardon someone for the offense Mr. Trump is upsetting the careful separation of powers between the branches.

‘Narcissistic imbeciles’ is an excellent description of these Democrats that want The Constitution and laws to be what they think they should be.

So basically, unless the President is a democrat, he is not the president.

Heads they win, tails they win.

Bradley Manning? No problem.

Marc Rich on a quid pro quo deal? No problem.

Puerto Rican terrorists? No problem.

A guy who was enforcing the law? Problem.

POTUS has plenary (sweeping, basically unlimited) power of the pardon.

Shut your pie holes, rats. It’s done, you have no standing in this. Bwah hah hah!

The Dems can demand that the sun turn purple if they want. It’s just as likely.

The president’s power to pardon is absolute, unlimited and unrestricted.

Libtards are called libtards for a reason.

The Democrats, led by the party’s senior members on the House Judiciary Committee,

Why are there ANY Demonrats on these committee’s?? Every Demonrat that signed on to this should be stripped of all assignments and all privileges suspended for being ILLITERATE and Unable to Read the very document they swore an oath to uphold

What would they get it? The media pop culture complex still give them all the power and supports their views more than anything else. Not to mention the Senate Republicans in particular allow them to run the Senate.

The last Democrat President was not President under our Constitution.
He is ineligible.
His father was a foreign national making him a British subject at birth, not a natural born citizen.

Or this one:

Obama granted her clemency. Less than a year later, she’s going back to prison.
