    Ah yes, the appeal to shame the sensitive, to discount any and all feelings, whilst suggesting the other is hypersensitive.

    Proud, boastful insensitivity makes for a well rounded man in Trumpland, of course. It can also make a fine hiding spot for racist views.

    That would have been unheard of 15 years ago. None of this crap really hit the scene until 2009.

    Yeah, he was guilt for doing his job... in a way that completely violated United States' citizens Fourteenth Amendment rights. You guys continue to only tell one side of the story. I wonder what your guys' defense of his other, more outwardly nefarious actions, is. How about his witchhunt of federal judges, or him ignoring hundreds of sexual assault cases because they happened to illegal immigrants and not citizens?

    Trump didn't pardon a crook, thief, thug, drug dealer, gun criminal or tax evader like Obama and Clinton did.

    Trump is leading.

    Trump is leading by not pardoning crooks, thieves, thugs, drug dealers, gun criminals and tax evaders like Obama and Clinton did.

    Trump pardoned a true patriot who was wrongly accused.

    How this piece of bat **** is still a college professor is beyond me. The constitution allows the POTUS to pardon individuals he/she sees fit. Confusion descended on the at about 9 pm on election night, and now every time Trump exercises a presidential power, they lose their cookies.

    I don't care one way or another about Trump pardoning Arpaio. What concerns me more is how idiotic Trump is to talk about ****ing television ratings and using the suffering of people in Texas while doing it.

    Political pardons are un American. They are weapons used against the rule of law by the powerful.

    That's the whole point.

    I am not aware of any pardons for officials in sanctuary cities.

    While the Attorney General is appointed by the President, he is not the President's servant.

    The President can not order an Attorney General or any of his staff to drop an investigation (although this President had done so).

    It is typically hypocritical for right wingers to insist on the right of their hero to trash the rule of law for political reasons, and then turn around and accuse his opponants of doing the same thing, without evidence.

    Looks like the fragile "leadership" in the White House is now using whataboutism as official strategy. Pathetic.

    Trump pardoned someone who over zealously followed the law.

    Clinton and Obama pardoned people who over zealously broke the law including murderers, terrorists and drug dealers.

    Now which one am I supposed to be more outraged over?

    Arpaio didn't zealously follow the law. He broke the law.

    Because he over zealously tried to uphold the law. Besides semantics, what's your point?

    I'm not the one playing semantics. He broke the law. Period. There is a word for people who "zealously try to uphold the law" by breaking it -- criminals. He tried taking federal law into his own hands. He isn't a fed. In doing so, he held people without charges, racially profiled and engaged in cruel and unusual punishment. He's a criminal.

    Evidently, you are unware of other instances where check points have been used and substantively been approved by the courts, ie DUI checks, etc that are lawful in the respect that they are attempting to directly influence some aspect of social safety. There is no evidence that Arpaio wasn't accomplishing the same conditionality. There is also no evidence of this being unconstitutional as you've asserted.

    No. He's pardoned for his crimes. He USED to be a criminal.

    And if Clinton, Bush and Obama had done their jobs (which they didn't, which is criminal in and of itself....though you magically overlook all that) perhaps Arpaio wouldn't have to have been such an overly zealous law enforcement officer
    as Arizona is ground zero for the invasion of illegals crossing our border.

    But as I said you righteously offended leftists don't seem to take that into account.

    Trump the nazi walked his converted Jewish daughter down the isle and gave her to an Orthodox Jew in an orthodox Jewish wedding at a golf resort bearing his name.

    SEIG HEIL!
