Radical Obama Justice Department Sues Sheriff Joe Arpaio
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, September 2, 2010, 12:03 PM
Unreal. The radical Obama Justice Department sued Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona today.
The Wall Street Journal reported:
The Justice Department filed a civil lawsuit Thursday against Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Arizona’s Maricopa County, accusing him and his agency of stonewalling a probe into policing practices that some call discriminatory against Hispanics.
The suit is the latest move in months of legal sniping between the two sides. They are also fighting over whether federal prosecutors improperly contacted employees of the sheriff’s office directly to seek testimony, instead of going through lawyers.
Robert Driscoll, a lawyer representing Mr. Arpaio and the Maricopa Sheriff’s Office, didn’t have an immediate response to the suit.
Mr. Arpaio is the elected sheriff for Maricopa County, where Phoenix is located. He has become a vocal critic of illegal immigration and has carried out operations aimed at detaining immigrants and turning them over to federal law enforcement for deportation.
Civil-rights groups have long called Mr. Arpaio’s policies discriminatory. Soon after Attorney General Eric Holder took office last year, the Justice Department said it was investigating those complaints and looking into possible violations of Hispanics’ civil rights.
The Justice Department suit, filed in federal court in Phoenix, said the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office receives millions of dollars in federal funding and is required to cooperate with federal investigations as a condition of receiving those funds.
This should surprise no one. After all, Sheriff Joe Arpaio was trying to uphold the law in Arizona.

So will the Department of Injustice, be filing a civil case against Holder for failing to cooperate with the U.S. Commission for Civil Rights, in the Black Panther case, Na I didn’t think so. The corruption and lies continue to flow from DOJ just like the filth from a ruptured sewer line.

This is obscene but lots of people voted for this guy. It doesn’t do us any good for them to be saying now they didn’t know him or that it’s all a surprise. We knew and I’m no political genius.
I want more of it. Sue everyone trying to uphold the law. Start building the reeducation camps. Keep telling us we’re all numbskulls and not fit to lick your Christian Laboutin heels clean. The more people they tee-off, the more will vote against this disgrace and then we can start putting this country back on its Constitutional foundation.
Jim commented:
I think Holder and all the other criminals in this administration should be sent to Sheriff Joe’s jail.

After 2012, who is going to investigate the DOJ?

@Toaster802
I expect Darrell Issa and others to begin numerous invetigations on 1/1/11. Let the games begin!! Once the layers of this rotten onion are pealed away, we’ll find a core of worms, slugs, parasites, and outright pus! (Sorry if you hurled your lunch on your keyboard.)
wanumba commented:
It’s turning into a cage match here in AZ, in Maricopa County. The Board of Supervisors hate Arpiao for inevstigating their corruption, the Mayor of Phoenix bad-mouthed the sheriff’s deputies, lawsuits are flying all over the place.
The Mexican on Mexican crime in Phoenix jacks the statistics. Arpaio’s deputies see horrific stuff, but keep it contained, but the Democrats want to wreck all that.
Because of Arpaio’s diligence and his deputies’ professionalism, Phoenix is far safer than it would be without him
These politicians are so short-sighted and self-absorbed, they will destroy this place before they control themselves.
See how the Feds control? If you take a penny of Federal funds, you HAVE to do everything they demand. Or else.
Those Federal funds are from AZ taxes. That’s OUR money.
JR commented:
As made abundantly clear in David Limbaugh’s book Crimes Against Liberty, Obama is at war with America.
The leftists complained that Bush declared war against Al Qaeda in Iraq. Then the leftists gave us a president that declared war on America.
jomojava the infidel commented:
So, my tax dollars are being used by the DOJ to sue an Arizona lawman that is trying to uphold the law of the land? I consider that a violation of my civil rights by the DOJ.
I also consider those entering the country illegally and requiring my tax dollars to exist a violation of my civil rights.
Ooops, I forgot. As a white Anglo-Saxon male, I have no civil rights.
Granny commented:
And this isn’t even the worst of it. . . you know those 6K National Guard Arizona asked for? And they “got” 3K? Well what they really got was 30 – yes, 30!

Obama and members of his administration have demonstrated that they hate this country. We absolutely have to vote them out and throw out the ones who were appointed by the loathsome Obama. I feel like I am living in a foreign country, not my own America.

My head hurts ! My blood pressure is off the chart. Yes we can has become we got you. No more. I refuse to have CIVIL DISCUSSION with a liberal. They are the spawn of satan himself. You can only stomp on my toes so many times before I take the other foot and expand your anal orfice. The time for pc has long past. There is a storm brewing and I will not be passive. From our schools to the halls of congress these anti american bastards have got to go.
Lisa G in NZ commented:
This is probably because Feds want to diminish the power of the Sheriff. The local Sheriff’s state laws currently trump Fed power – Feds can’t come in (eg try to take guns or whatever) because the county Sheriff is supposed to be in control of that county as an elected representative. (ask Sheriff Mack for details)
What I want to know is, can Arizona file suit against the Feds who are NOT enforcing their laws? Any lawyers here want to weigh in?

Freddy commented:
What is actually fascinating about this case is that the Justice Department is on a witch hunt.
They are actually admitting they have no probable cause, illustrated by their own neglect in identify any charges, and are simply trying to make up something because of their POLITICAL desire.
Why do I think Obama is going to be granting Eric Holder a Presidential Pardon before Obama leaves office?
Shawnet commented:
Somebody please help me out here. I keep reading articles with the phrase “lliegal aliens rights”.
What “rights” does anyone with the first identifying descriptor “illegal” have, if the act of being here is, first and foremost, illegal?

Is Obama an American? Short answer, yes he likes the 57 States, just not Americans.

They are not legitimate. Sheriff Joe, ask him to prove he is in a legal position to sue anyone. He is not.
Barack Hussein Obama is committing Jihad from within. He’s a stealth Muslim Jihadist.

Can we bring a class action suit against the Federal Government for misusing out tax dollars?

No problem. If Sheriff Joe puts on blackface makeup and joins the New Black Panther Party, he’ll be home free.
Or I guess he could always blow up some naval vessel. That seems to work pretty well lately also.
Joanne commented:
They’ll just try to pick off people one by one until people are too afraid to go up against them or are resigned to the fact that a battle with them is futile. People need to fight this crap off the start gate to give Obama a message that Americans will not cower to his tactics.
Rock commented:
Each passing day I become fearful that this corruption will not be contained at the ballot box. It is become increasingly clear that the Socialist scum are pushing for violence, we all understand why. Fox today had a story on Detroit Police Department having summits with local gang members. Empowering the local gangs with some sort of legitimatize, I cannot imagine how the citizen in those neighborhoods can now feel safe with local gangs being treated as partners in crime. protection. Holder and crowd are contemptible, slimy worms out to dismantle the Country.

This is what the fools in AZ get for re-electing John McCain…a knife in the back the day after . Don’t think for one minute Johnny’s hand isn’t holding the scabbard.
Jeremiah commented:
We could easily fight this without relying on political machinery, but there is only one way to do this without civil war. Send missionaries to Eastern Europe and recruit all the poor whites to have babies in the US or settle in the sanctuary cities. Set up a vast network so it becomes clear to the politicians to stop immigration.
You can’t win this fight unless you do. Obama holds all the trump as witnessed by his attack on Joe. He’s stupid enough to think that there’s no whites who will come here. The only way to stop him before 2012 is to expose liberals’ hate and hypocrisy. Once they figure out what is going on, they will quickly beg to stop immigration that isn’t “useful” to them.
No one wants anymore people in the US but people have to realize what the left is and how much ground has been lost, if we are to develop an effective plan to fight back.
Political races are often won by less than 1-3%. Obama will be relentless in getting all illegals the vote come his election. Even the reddest states can be turned blue with some quick and pointed amnesty.
The left has a deep, vicious, racist hatred of whites, western culture and Christianity and is effectively eradicating all these voices by making the groups who can be associated with these categories minorities and powerless in their own domain. The left figured out they have no message, nothing to offer, and finally realized they have no other viable means to do this but to import people who hate America or will be a burden. Doesn’t their new found, odd couple pairing with BFF Muslims, show how far they are willing to go to meet their ends?
So here is the ground that has been lost, you can’t say anything positive about whites or the US and not be crippled by being charged a racist. They have effectively made a tiny box where even conservatives become their useful tools. In order for conservatives to appear as a moderate, often immoral stands supporting white hatred and contempt are offered cementing liberal’s hatred as legitimate and mainstream.
Think about this, I’m pretty sure none of the big time modern genocidal maniacs like Stalin were so ambitious or maybe actually had enough of a moral limit that they planned to eradicate a whole race of people. For liberals an unthinkable evil like this rolls of their back with ease. They will tell everyone that it is natural that whites will become a tiny minority in this country while having racist policies excluding white immigration (80% brown immigration) because there are so many brown people.
Let’s try their experiment elsewhere if it so moral and natural. Should Africa become 80% white? Would this be moral? Think about all the fun and ethnic food they would have with this new found diversity. How about we make Asia 80% black or Mexico 80% Somali? Hey they’ll do the jobs the indigenous people won’t, right?
It’s a shame because diversity means different types of people in the world, not making the world a monolithic brown and muslim third world fascist hellhole. Every group has a right to be a majority somewhere in the world so their culture, values and way of life can thrive and be shared in the community. Isn’t that what liberals always so stridently claim to be for and vindictively round up and punish all that they can as “teaching moments”. They must really be filled with self hate.

This is going to be fun. I’m curious to see whether any of the DOJ team will actually be able to keep a straight face when they argue this.
Valerie commented:
Jim,
I went to this site looking for a copy of the complaint, and came up with this, instead. I don’t want to divert the discussion on the later posts, but I think this is very interesting.
Mike Stopa, who is running in the Republican primary for Congress in the 3rd District of Massachusetts, has a plan to repeal Obamacare,

That is because puerto Ricans are a U.S. Territory dumb ass. Mexico is another country that boarders America. Rights are for citizens not Illegals. You have human rights. We’ll not kill you but deportation is good enough. Gawd is your education in Puerto Rico as bad as U.S. I’d be ashamed to articulate my thoughts if I were this ignorant. You wonder why you don’t have a high paying job. Look in the mirror. Your a disgrace. powder is dry.

regularguy commented:
just bob pretty much echoes my sentiments. We can have equal justice the legal way or have justice the hard way. Holder’s department seems to be trying to make it the hard way. Real violence may be the result if November and 2012 fail to bring peaceful, constitutional remedies for booting these outright criminals out of their festering offices.
It is simply surreal be writing this, however. These are very interesting, frightening times.
