The Justice Department, following an often hostile three-year investigation, said Thursday the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) in Phoenix under the leadership of Sheriff Joseph M. Arpaio violated federal law and the Constitution in its handling of persons arrested and inmates held in its jail system.
Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez, who heads the department’s Civil Rights Division, said investigators concluded there was reasonable cause to believe that sheriff’s deputies engaged in a pattern or practice of unconstitutional conduct and violations of federal law that jeopardized the agency’s commitment to fair and effective law enforcement.
The not-unexpected decision said investigators found discriminatory policing practices including unlawful stops, detentions and arrests of Latinos; unlawful retaliation against persons exercising their First Amendment right to criticize the agency’s policies or practices, including its discriminatory treatment of Latinos; and discriminatory jail practices against Latino inmates with limited English proficiency by punishing them and denying them critical services.

I believe Arapaio could have proof in black and white, sure proof—,indisputable ,incontravertible, no way on Gods green earth copuld anyone deny it , and it will simply be made to dissappear.
We are not going to get Obama out of the White House in any manner other than to vote him out, and even after the world see’s Arapaio’s undeniable proof that he is an illegal President he may win the next election.Almost 50% of Americans want this load in the White House to continue to destroy our country.
“While no formal findings of pattern or practice violations have been made...”
Wow, what a worm. In other words, “nobody broke any law, so we are going to curse at you and *suggest* that you did a whole bunch of *subjectively* bad things. And then we will take you to court and hope a judge agrees to require you to comply with our ever changing, nebulous and whimsical wish list of what we want you to do.”
Which is total ca-ca. Sheriff Joe would be insane to agree to such nonsense. It would be like requiring a high school teacher to have a half dozen adult federal employees in his class, criticizing and arguing with everything he says right after he says it. Teaching would grind to a halt.
:: In my opinion, Arpaio shouldn’t wait until February ::
I wondered why he would not go with it sooner but, then, I read somewhere that the drop dead date for filing for the bulk of primaries is around February 14.
If Obamugabe is all in on the 14th and no challenger, Joe hits him on the 15th showing he’s ineligible, then what do the Dhimmicrats do?
Perez needs another three years and a few million more dollars.

Thanks FutureUE.
The DOJ just cannot accept the fact that Sheriff Joe does not give a rat’s bazoo what they think. He’s a duly elected sheriff of the sovereign state of Arizona and there really isn’t much they can do to him. Its driving them nuts.
Put me on the jury.
“...what do the Dhimmicrats do?”
The Democrats will ignore whatever Arpaio discovers.
As one liberal yahoo at another site posited, possession is 9/10ths of the law, and BHO2 is already in the White House. The attitude of Democrats is basically, “drop dead!”
We now have a federal fascist state, and it happened right in front of us.
“The president shall protect the states from invasion.”
Not to mention:
Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.
Oh yes, nice. Exactly right. I sure don’t want to short change mObama.
I think we can safely say that Arpaio has stirred up the proverbial “hornet’s nest” with his birther investigation. Suddenly, Arpaio is public enemey #1.
“Justice Department: Arizona Sheriff Arpaio violated federal law”
Yeah....looking into Bammy’s paper’s is a violation of Federal Law now....
I’ve read two articles on this and have yet to see a citation of WHICH Federal law was violated.
That would require proving a negative....just sayin. I said this back in '08 that he was a British subject, and now we even have people in the UK saying he is still a British subject. Can the UK extradite this guy?
In other words, if the current Federal government believe an entity is discriminating...and that discrimination is below the threshold that could be prosecuted as a crime, or even in civil court, they can deny Federal Funds to said agency.
Any DOJ under any administration could use this tools to cut off any agency from free Federal money.
Nothing to see here.
Me too!!!
Talk about your jury nullification!!
DOJ has been after Obama with this specific ACLU complaint since March 2009. But Perez still has “no formal findings or pattern or practice violations” so Perez and DOJ have nothing they can charge Arpaio with, yet.
So “the investigation remains ongoing”...meaning the timing of this “announcement” of nothing is very suspicious and points towards it being yet another “don't go there” directed at Arpaio’s eligibility posse, IMO.
