Reporting from Phoenix - The day after the federal government told Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio that he could no longer use his deputies to round up suspected illegal immigrants on the street, the combative Arizona sheriff did just that.
He launched one of his notorious "sweeps," in which his officers descend on heavily Latino neighborhoods, arrest hundreds of people for violations as minor as a busted headlight and ask them whether they are in the country legally.
"I wanted to show everybody it didn't make a difference," Arpaio said of the Obama administration's order.
Arpaio calls himself "America's toughest sheriff" and remains widely popular across the state. For two decades, he has basked in publicity over his colorful tactics, such as dressing jail inmates in pink underwear and housing them in outdoor tents during the brutal Phoenix summers.
But he has escalated his tactics in recent months, not only defying the federal government but launching repeated investigations of those who criticize him. He recently filed a racketeering lawsuit against the entire Maricopa County power structure. On Thursday night, the Arizona Court of Appeals issued an emergency order forbidding the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office from searching the home or chambers of a Superior Court judge who was named in the racketeering case.

No,I can't.For one reason I don't know the details of "violations" already "committed" or of "violations" still to be "committed".
Then don't make your baseless allegation without the facts to support it.........
But I'll put this question to you.....can you tell me approximately how many appointees of BillyBob,Jimmah and Hussein are currently sitting on the Federal bench
Can you tell me how many sisters were bitten by moose in Alaska this past year?
The nation’s got your back, Sheriff! Up yours zero and holder.
Uhhh . . . What he said. ( ^: }
OK...I guess I have to spell it out for those of us who are trusting of the "integrity of the system".
Fact:Hussein is a Moaist.
Fact:His Attorney Corporal is an *obedient* Maoist
Fact:The movers and shakers of today's RAT Party (Soros,the DUmpster Kids,Daily Chaos,etc) want Arpiao silenced and taught a lesson he'll never forget.
Fact:There are many hundreds of RAT appointees currently sitting on the Federal bench
Add facts 1 through 4 and you have an indictment,issued by a Grand Jury empaneled by our Maoist Attorney Corporal,charging Arpaio with God-knows-what and,thanks to judge shopping,a sympathetic judge is found to move things along.
Now are you gettin' the picture?
And BTW...I'm saying any of this *should* happen.All I'm saying is that as things stand today they absolutely *can* happen and very possibly will.
Think "White House Travel Office
Where ever he goes, he will rattle some cages. Of that you can be sure.
And BTW...I’m saying = And BTW...I’m not saying

At least one public servant from AZ has the courage to stand up for what is right.
Sheriff Joe has been talking to another Arizona sheriff, Sheriff Mack. go here and watch the first short video by him, then buy his book “County Sheriff, America’s Last Hope”. It is a short book, endorsed by Sheriff Joe. after you finish it be sure to give it to a local law enforcement officer.

Go Joe!
Sheriff Joe should be beginning the deputization of many of Arizona’s gun owners knowing that a problem might be coming from the Feds.
Its high time to reclaim our 10th Amendment standing.
It’s only a matter of time before many folks in many states repeat the mantra, “Screw the Feds”.
The constitution has limited fed power. Perhaps (if the Obamaloon could read something besides his Teleprompter), he’d realize that.
Hey Obama, shove it up your Obama - and take your crooked cabinet with you.
Gotta love joe
Oh hell yeah. I believe that sooner or later Sheriff Joe will end up at the center of a real coast to coast choose your side standoff with the FEDGOV. They WILL come after him because they FEAR him. However I actually believe that if it comes to it Joe will pull a gun on anyone he thinks is steamrollering truth justice and the American way.
I am as WASP as you can get. I even speak with a Sarah Palin accent. I have been arrested, more than once, for a busted head light.
Ya got love our Federal Government.
Makes Joe look a trifle, er, Nixonian.
