See Wiki on Mark Felt:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Felt

“Despite their pardons, Felt and Miller won permission from the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to appeal the conviction so as to remove it from their record and to prevent it from being used in civil suits by the victims of the break-ins they ordered.[66] Ultimately, Felt’s law license was returned by the court in 1982, which cited Reagan’s pardon.”

I hope Bolton tries to sentence and jail Arpaio.

There is no Sheriff in Arizona or Federal Marshal who would execute such a court order.

And if there was, there would be a shoot out.

if Arpaio and Trump are proved correct at the end of the day!

They have already been proven correct at the end of the day before yesterday! Unfortunately honor among our leaders is gone. Now the MSM determines what is "truth."

I see there are reasons that cases go before SCOTUS.

Indeed. And this issue has a number of times.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Zadvydas v. Davis (2001) that "due process" of the 14th Amendment applies to all aliens in the United States whose presence maybe or is "unlawful, involuntary or transitory."

Three key Supreme Court decisions in 1886, 1896 and 1903 laid the 14th Amendment basis for the consistent ruling of the court that aliens, legal and illegal, have constitutional protection in criminal and certain civil affairs in the justice system.

In summary, the entire case of illegal aliens being covered by and protected by the Constitution has been settled law for 129 years and rests on one word: "person." It is the word "person" that connects the dots of "due process" and "equal protection" in the 14th Amendment to the U.S Constitution.

Again, not my opinion, but fact. I wish it were the opposite of what the SCOTUS has interpreted/ruled but I don't get a vote.

“They have already been proven correct at the end of the day before yesterday!”

Sheriff Arpaio is a lawman to the core and has prepared his evidence to be presented in a court of law! That is the only place where we can hope that the MSM can be brought to their knees, and they know it.

They are desperately fighting to avoid that possibility. Why else would they fight so hard, such as pulling the plug on his pressers or boycotting them and making him promise not to discuss “birther” issues when on TV?
