So you think illegal immigration is no problem?

Sheriff Bully has been pulling the same shit for 20 years, meaning that the State of Arizona has had ample opportunity to act, just as southern states had ample opportunity prior to the civil rights acts.
The sad truth is that the Feds should have squashed Sheriff Joe long ago, but he was protected by the very people & culture you claim should have been consulted beforehand.
Here's part of the aftermath of Arpaio's bullying-

Jesus, what a complete misunderstanding of the role of the Justice department, much less the workings of our legal system.
I'd wager it came straight from your ass.

2 funny things about this. First of all you have no idea what contacts there were between Arizona law enforcement and the justice department. Secondly, it is not Arizona's job to enforce federal law. The chain of command you are describing simply doesn't exist. Eric Holder is not the state attorney general's boss.
If the justice department can bypass all of the systems of checks and balances, why not just abolish the 50 states and all elected officials besides on the federal level.
"We" have no idea has to what steps the justice department has taken.
If its not the states responsibility to uphold civil rights, then whos job is it? Should the justice department get involved very time someones civil rights are stepped on?
Local police officer does an unlawful arrest, should the justice department get involved?
Some company does not make its entrance wheel chair accessible, should the justice department get involved?
Some fast food place does not serve minorities, should the justice department get involved?
There are no state level checks and balances for the enforcement already passed and constitutional federal statutes.
So local police should not arrest people for violation of federal gun laws?
That's not what checks and balances means.

I say all 50 states legalize weed, and let the feds deal with issue.
This issue with Sheriff Joe is a state issue, not a federal issue.
If the citizens of that county feel their rights have been violated, then hire an attorney and deal with it locally.
Its call states rights. If there is an issue with a county, or a state, then the issue needs to be dealt with locally.
The federal government is becoming intrusive in our lives. There needs to be a line, a line in the sand that the federal government should not cross. I see this issue with Sheriff Joe as a politically motivated issue. Obama is having the justice department do something about Sheriff Joe in an attempt to win the hispanic vote.
Lol, a link to Paula Pennypacker's blog. Where the hell do you come up with these troglodyte shill sites? Do you even know what balanced journalism is?
The Supreme Court panels opinion stated that evidence indicated Arpaio had conspired with Thomas and Aubuchon to file the charges against the judge and two supervisors.

Heh. Sputtering in denial.
Sheriff Joe's cohorts are falling one by one, and he's next. Here's a nice piece about how one was disbarred by the Arizona Supreme Court, not exactly a bastion of liberalism-
oe's lucky it's just a lawsuit instead of the criminal indictment he so richly deserves. They're trying to get him to resign, to fade, to take it easy on him, but I doubt he'll go quietly.
