1. I sincerely hope that in the long run Joe Arpaio LOSES
Edited on Sat Apr-24-10 09:41 PM by csziggy
I truly hope that this law gets tested all the way to the Supreme Court and gets knocked down so thoroughly that no state will attempt a similar law thereafter. And that Arpaio has a stroke when he can no longer abuse human rights the way he has been doing.

Which means that Obama's next Supreme Court appointee had better be a strong advocate of individual rights or this country is going down the flusher.

2. If he wins, everybody loses.
This Arizona law is right up his alley, hateful.

6. Arpaio's being investigated up the wazoo by Terry Goddard and the feds.
And now that his personal poodle of a County Atty, Andy Thomas, has resigned, the county officials he's been feuding with just launched a new series of probes against him for misusing county funds. The Board of Supervisors appointed Rick Romley, who was the County Attorney before Thomas. Romley's a Republican but there's no love lost between him and Joe.

Maricopa County is a hot mess.

8. Lost link to video of arrests at public meeting.
Do you happen to have a link for that Maricopa County Commissioners' Meeting where Joe sent his goons in to arrest people for merely applauding politely when one man went to speak in the public comment portion of the meeting?

Can't remember the name of the blog that had it, but it was a great blog re keeping an eye on Joe's abuses of civil rights.

10. while I am a liberal democrat
I support the right to bear arms. The reason for this is to protect yourself from corrupt officials like Joe Arpaio. If what I'm saying is unorthodox, please let me know because I don't want to get banned.
