Sheriff Joe Arpaio could run against Sen. Flake

Aug. 28, 2017 - 4:38 - Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) on the possibility of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio running against Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) in 2018.

Flake is already 20 points down to Kelli Ward.
47-26.

Those numbers are pretty amazing for an incumbent senator.
26?

If he loses I wonder if the rinos will wake up?

They, by definition, will never wake up. They will try to marginalize the freshman senator and demonize her any ways they can. We'll need to continue to defeat the RINOs in the primaries.

The U.S. Justice Department on Monday said a criminal conviction against ex-Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio should be dismissed as moot in the wake of a controversial pardon from President Donald Trump, according to a court filing.

However several legal groups, including one staffed by lawyers who worked for President Barack Obama’s administration , urged an Arizona federal judge to deem the pardon an unconstitutional overreach of executive authority.

words haven't been invented to describe how much I hate the Obama administration

Arpaio was convicted in July of willfully violating a 2011 injunction barring his officers from stopping and detaining Latino motorists solely on suspicion that they were in the country illegally. He had not yet been sentenced when Trump issued the pardon last month.

Arpaio asked U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton in Arizona to vacate the verdict and all other orders in the case. The Justice Department on Monday said his request was valid.

“The presidential pardon removes any punitive consequences that would otherwise flow from [Arpaio‘s] non-final conviction and therefore renders the case moot,” it wrote in a court filing.

The Protect Democracy Project, an advocacy group that includes the Obama administration lawyers, filed a separate brief urging Bolton to first decide whether the pardon was constitutional before dismissing the case.

It was joined by the Coalition to Preserve Protect and Defend, a legal group consisting largely of government attorneys, and other legal advocacy organizations. Trump’s pardon will remove the ability of the courts to enforce its own orders, the coalition argued.

“The result would be an executive branch freed from the judicial scrutiny required to assure compliance with the dictates of the Bill of Rights and other constitutional safeguards,” the group wrote.

if thats the case, what is the basis for all of the wonder putz's pardons?

lets take a look at all of those if we're going to give Arpaio a squint...
