President Issues Presidential Pardon For Joe Arpaio

another way is do what Thomas Jefferson did which was to fire the judges. I think he had to dissolve the district to do it. Yes, he actually did this. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm

In other words, Jefferson had to enlist the help of a sympathetic Congress.

Tthe "opinion" of the court lies with the fact that "there is no constitutional right to a jury trial for criminal contempt charges resulting in a sentence of imprisonment of six months or less".

so, "The Court finds that this case is appropriate for a bench trial. This case focuses on the application of facts to the law to determine if Defendant intentionally violated a court order."

He admitted to violating the order. But, of course, it was an accident. Except it wasn't.

Is anyone disturbed by his history at all? Or is that also fake news?

The president can pardon who he wants for federal crimes. Its sickening to see him abuse his power in such a way, however. Both sides of the aisle see this as a insult to law and order.

Trump needs to go. Put Pense in office.

If you think Trump actually did a good thing with that pardon, you have seriously got to get a vasectomy. Prevent your line from continuing. Your an idiot. Society is better off without your kind.

Freaking Iffy gives Trump a blowjob for firing Bannon, his top anti globalist! Iffy, the SOB who has been ranting and raving about 'globalist' for years!


So the pardon had nothing to do with 'jury' and everything to do with political payback and to signal that he will pardon any of his posse that gets caught up in the Russian investigation or any other criminal activity!

How would they do that? Federal judges are appointed for life. The only way to remove them is for the House to impeach and the Senate to convict, just like the POTUS. It hardly ever happens, and when it does, it has to be for a good reason. Originally Posted by lustylad
Jefferson did it, bu removing the SPOT that the judge filled.. No need to impeach then. THEN Re-define wha judges are needed..

Why shouldn't Trump pardon Joe?
They both disliked Latinos.
Disliked Judges.
Were both birthers.

If he lies about why, people have every right to criticize him.
