PHOENIX (AP) — The political career of Joe Arpaio ended last year when the six-term sheriff of metro Phoenix known for cracking down on illegal immigration and housing inmates in tents outside in the desert heat was trounced in an election that focused on his own legal troubles.

Now, the 85-year-old who called himself America’s toughest sheriff will face his day of reckoning in court for defying a judge’s order to stop traffic patrols that targeted immigrants.

Arpaio’s trial starts Monday on a criminal contempt-of-court charge for prolonging the patrols for nearly a year and a half. The judge later found that Arpaio’s officers had racially profiled Latinos.

Yeah, the powers that be are wanting to put him away.....they can’t stand him.

I really wish he would have won re-election.

I think Sessions is Uniparty hack that talks a good game .

He still is having his Obama bot left winger staff go after Sheriff Joe .

He should clean house and stop all these ridiculous left wing lawyers .

I thought all the Regional Attorney Generals were replaced ?

By what more Obama bots Dems like Rosenstein ?

I hope that the judge in question understands that if he/she ever needs police,fire department or EMTs urgently the call will be placed in their “when we get around to it” queue.

True, Dat! ;)

I’m willing to wait a bit. What’s my alternative other than to Bless Each DAY that Hillary! is not in charge? ;)

*SHUDDER*

Heck, if things go as planned we have 4-8 years of President Trump, then 4-8 years of President Pence, then 4-8 years of President Ivanka...

(Well, maybe not THAT!)

The jury may acquit.

The jury could be a hung jury.

The trial could be a mistrial.

What needs ro start happening is that these judges need to be told in no uncertain terms that rulings that are in contravention of the Constitution are grounds for removal.

While Sheriff Joe may have been in contempt of this judge....(aren’t we all), this judge is in contempt of the constitution and he should be removed.
