Sheriff Joe Strikes Back: Asks Court to Dismiss Eric Holder DOJ’s Lawsuit

Stand With Arizona ^ | 06-12-2012 | John Hill

Go Joe!!!!

[halfright]

A true American Hero.

[Twotone]

Sounds like Arpaio has better lawyers than the DOJ.

[Hotlanta Mike]

Should filed a motion to dismiss based on a lack of standing in Arizona. /sarc

[mkjessup]

If Romney had any sense, he would announce that if elected, he would appoint Sheriff Joe Arpaio as the new Attorney General with one and only one basic instruction:

Investigate all allegations of federal corruption, past or present, indict those believed to be guilty, and pursue vigorous prosecutions, and seek maximum sentences for all convicted, no exceptions.

Sheriff Joe IS a true American hero. He is incorruptible.

I’m no fan of Arpaio, having lived in Phoenix for 9 years and meeting him on several occasions. However, I hope he wins this one.

I read the brief. Motions to Dismiss pursuant to (b)(6) are rarely granted, but it looks like Arpaio has solid grounds for the motion and it may be granted in this case. I can’t wait to read the DOJ’s response.

Yea, so?

You have only been here a week. By a majority of the members here Arpaio is likely the most respected person in government around here...I suggest you keep your underlying negative comments about him to yourself if you want to stay.

DITTO AGAMEMNON’S THOUGHTS....

Nice !!!

[DrDude]

Although the wording was not that specific(ie.. vs. arizona), they did state the claim that the DOJ has no standing at all. This was mentioned several times. Sweet Justice. i hope sheriff joe has his press conference on the Obama Fraud on the same day that holder resigns.

[exit82]

The filing also asserts that the DOJ has no ability to even sue the sheriff's office "because it is a nonjural entity incapable of suing or being sued," and asked for the sheriff's office to be dismissed as a defendant. This claim seems well-grounded in case law, and would provide a major hurdle for Holder & Co. if the judge agrees with Arpaio's claim.

Gov. Walker of FL--take notes.

Good for Sheriff Joe. Anyone know when the press conference on Obama's documents is scheduled?

[binreadin]

This is an open discussion forum. Who gave you the right to demand someone else conform to your opinion?

[who knows what evil?]

Hi, Mr. Holder!

[azishot]

Sometimes all it it takes is one person to stand up and say "NO," for others to see that the system can be fought, that tyranny can be opposed. As Thomas Jefferson said: "One man with courage is a majority."

If this doesn't sum up Sheriff Joe I don't know what would. (BTW, June 14 is his 80th birthday.)

“I’m no fan of Arpaio...”

I’m a fan of many of the tactics he uses. On occasion, I have seen him act like...well...a jerk. But he seems to get results. Would you care to tell us what your issues are?

And welcome to FR. If you aren’t a troll, or Eric Holder, you should enjoy it here. ;-)
