PHOENIX (AP) - An appeals court has rejected former Sheriff Joe Arpaio's bid to have a jury, rather than a judge, decide whether he is guilty of a criminal contempt-of-court charge for disobeying a court order in a racial profiling case.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that Arpaio didn't show that his request warranted its intervention in the case.

“In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury ...”

I guess this amendment no longer “operative” as per our black robed masters.

It isn’t an Arizona case and Arizona state law doesn’t matter.

It is a constitutional natural right. He should demand one and not settle for anything less.

For all offenses, only a trial by peers is constitutional. All other things are unconstitutional and a corruption of our so-called “Justice” system.

We need to return to the Constitution and dump all the unconstitutional rules and regulations that deny Natural Rights to a trial by peers. Natural Rights come ONLY from God and are unalienable-—they CAN”T be taken away—period.

Since this a contempt of court case, any conviction of Arpaio would open the way for Congressional action by issuing contempt of court citations in the IRS scandals, Dept. of Homeland Security fiascoes, Fast and Furious, Benghazi coverups by refusal to testify before congress, Hillary’s server IT guy, and many other Obama scandals where govt officials refused to comply with court orders (esp. re immigration enforcement), etc.

If anyone in the White House, Mark Levin & his Legal Foundation, etc. is on the ball, I hope that they would file Amicus Curie briefs in every court that would have jurisdiction over the “ contempt” actions of Obama’s officials in refusing to comply with the courts’ lawful orders of enforcement.

Time to turn the leftists strategies and tactics around and shove them up their red asses. We need a few imaginative conservative lawyers with the balls to take on the Obama Deep State and corrupt regime officials, and take them to court for their actions and illegal inactions.

Maybe somebody should tell the Trump advisors to get off their dumb asses and begin to pay attention to what others are saying about how to deal with the Far Left.

It is not only time to play ball, not softball, but hardball with a capital “H” and a big enough bat to hit that ball out of the park.

The “civil war” against America has begun. Time to get rid of the McClellans and put in some Grants/Shermans and Sheridans.

When the LAW no longer is "JUST" because "The LAWLESS" are running the courts,
it's time to fight fire ... with FIRE !

I thing this is a pretty standard pre-trail motion...but I am not a lawyer, (I just “pro se” on one case, enough to get myself in big trouble).
