    Wouldn't have to even say anything if y'all didn't bitch about other people doing the same as y'all.

    That is false

    He was ordered by the Court to cease and desist.

    As an officer of the court, he was bound by his oath of office to obey the Court.

    Instead he publicly announced that he was above it.

    (none of the people in your talking points was an officer of the court).

    A pardoned criminal has been relieved of punishment for his crimes. He still committed them. It is a pardon, not a time machine.

    We know that the hardcore Trump cult gets in a tizzy over what their crybaby messiah continually whines is everybody being mean to him, but the reasons that so many Republican politicians and legal scholars join with most patriotic Americans in being so disgusted with his latest squalid antics are painfully obvious.

    You said he isn't a criminal. He is. Are you done playing semantics yet?

    By accepting the pardon he is acknowledging he was guilty of the crime. This makes him a convicted criminal pardoned by the President. Arpaio is an embarrassment to the law enforcement community.

    So what point are you rasping at in vain? Obama and Clinton are NOT bound by the laws of the United States? Is that it? Really?

    Obama and Clinton, and Bush, I would add, also consciously failed to follow the law after standing before the nation with a bible in their
    sweaty hands promising to "faithfully" execute and follow all laws.

    You left wing lunatics really amuse me with your desperate pointless antics.

    He WAS. Now he is not. He was pardoned. And you're welcome for the simple lesson in the English language I provided for you.

    Get a life!

    No more an embarrassment than Clinton, Bush and Obama who ALL defied and ignored US federal immigration law their whole terms in office.
    You can shake your fist and let your neck veins pop out at the small time criminal but choose to ignore the very large and hypocritical
    criminals in suits and ties who made Joe Arpaio possible. Why is that?

    You must get off on epic hypocrisy.

    Tom, are we playing loose with semantics again?? There was no such order by Trump to Comey. The former FBI Director had his opportunity to declare so under oath to Congress, and clearly didn't.

    We do know that Loretta Lynch made it clear to Comey to downplay the Clinton e-mail investigation. You know. It was just supposed to be a "matter", and not a criminal investigation at all. :roll: And if you don't believe that had trickled down from Obama, you've been smoking too much much of the wacky-tobacky. I'm not seeing the hypocrisy you're trying to fabricate.

    A pardon isn't a time machine. He still committed the crimes. That's what a criminal is, someone who has committed crimes. But stick to Sophistry if that's what it takes to whitewash the past and make-believe he is anything less than a criminal.

    I agree. I can think of many cases decided by judges that were tossed out on appeal.

    Locally we have a Judge that sentenced a Stanford U student to 6 months incarceration who raped a student at Stanford. The Democrats in this area are livid with rage. They are collecting signatures to kick him off the bench. He of course has been fighting back causing delays.

    https://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/19/us/aaron-persky-stanford-rape-case.html?mcubz=3

    Times gleefully reports cleared of misconduct

    From LA times when it came up to remove him

    http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-...brock-turner-release-20160902-snap-story.html
    The judge raped nobody. The judge believed that his sentence was best in this case.

    Anyway, soon his removal will be on the ballot. Do you think he has a chance of a snowball on the hot stove of staying a Judge?

    He has been reassigned to civil court cases at his request.

    Is removing him just revenge?

    Trump pardoned a sadistic criminal. During prime time. End of story.

    I don't see very much chat over Obama since Trump took over. Seems the anger is at Trump.

    Yeah, I think that comment is pretty accurate.

    I think both presidents have used such power abusively for their own gain.

    I think the reason a lot of people are upset is the hypocrisy. As this thread states, Obama made all kinds of pardons and just like the Right is doing now, the Left twisted and turned to pretzel themselves into rationalization.

    Not that it matters at all, but Trump made a great point about the people Obama pardoned and why. When you list it out (including the bank robber and 2 cops killed) the pardons Obama made were far "worse" than Trump doing it to Arpaio.

    So when the hypocrisy is simply that thick I just don't care, it is just annoying that the hypocrisy is just so thick

    A pardon cleans the slate. It is as if he never was convicted.

    You too, not surprisingly, seem to get off on the epic hypercritical bull ***** of the LA Times (of all people) who are beating a dead horse over the pardon of someone who promised to uphold the law and then did not.

    The LA Times has been a champion for decades of politicians who promise to follow the law and then do not (US immigration law, in particular). Jerry Brown, Barry Obama, the mayor of LA, Luis Gutierrez of Chicago...you name it!

    They ALL hypocritically pay lip service to federal immigration law while doing their best to gut and destroy it with the propaganda
    and disinformation of the LA Times backing them all up 24/7 (and they are by far not the only newspaper who renders this service to the forces that obliterate and ignore the law).

    And the closer one examines the putrid streams of lies and rationalizing that is going on over Joe Arpaio and his failure to follow the law,
    but not Obmama and his ilk, and their utter disdain and disregard for the law, the more difficult it is to even breathe.
    The stench of partisan dishonesty comes through my monitor screen reading your post, it is so rank and foul.

    See it is comments like this that make people literally roll their eyes and say "yeah ok, I dont care about the pardon. Both parties do it and both parties are a joke."

    For you to say that Joe is a "sadistic criminal" vs the guys Obama pardoned it makes you look like a fool and it makes all of us not care.

    It cleans his punishment. It does not erase the objective fact that he broke the law.

    No, the argument is that whereas you on the left say nothing of the many unjust pardons that Clinton and Obama exercised, you are also the first to criticize a fairly legitimate pardon that Trump has exercised. It is your blatant hypocrisy that is being justly and rightly put back in your face; so learn to live with, or stop being such hypocrites.
