Equity: The administration that refused to enforce voting rights law in the New Black Panther case is going after America's best-known sheriff for what it calls discriminatory policing practices involving Hispanics.
Coming soon after the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear the case of Arizona's immigration and border enforcement law, the Justice Department's release of a scathing report Thursday accusing Maricopa County, Ariz., Sheriff Joe Arpaio of violating federal law and the Constitution in his department's handling of Hispanics smacks of retaliation.
With a thoroughness not seen in Justice's handling of the "Fast and Furious" federal gun-running debacle that resulted in the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry a year ago, Assistant Attorney General Thomas E. Perez, head of the department's Civil Rights Division, listed Arpaio's alleged excesses and said a three-year civil investigation found that the sheriff and his deputies engaged in unconstitutional conduct and violations of federal law that jeopardized his "commitment to fair and effective" law enforcement.

These people have lost the ‘consent of the governed’, the legitimacy to provide justice and equality for all under our Constitution. Every peaceful and legitimate measure to block their efforts to sabotage our system of government should be used.
I say it’s high time we try to impeach the SOB!
Holder should be in prison.
Arpaio investigated, New Black Panthers freed. Go figure.
Agreed. I signed the petition supporting Joe Arpiao today and donated to JOEPAC. God bless Joe Arpaio!
Impeach Obama and Holder, those POSs.
“Get Whitey” is Holder’s mantra.
Having Acorn like groups register millions of illegal aliens to vote and then getting them out to vote for Obama is his only chance for re election

Eric Holder Tells NY Times He’s Taking Hits For Obama Because “We’re Both African American”Of that group of critics, Mr. Holder said he believed that a few — the “more extreme segment” — were motivated by animus against Mr. Obama and that he served as a stand-in for him. “This is a way to get at the president because of the way I can be identified with him,” he said, “both due to the nature of our relationship and, you know, the fact that we’re both African-American.”
Ah, when in doubt play the race card

This is in retaliation for Sherriff Joe’s investigation into Obama and his true birth certificate.
If the certificate were not false Obama would not be frightened of Sherriff Joe.
Again Holder is only doing the dirty work for Obama. This too comes from the top.

Of course he is breaking the law, he’s arresting illegals.
The people created the Constitution which empowers the Federal government to protect the people. Also, the Tenth Amendment reserves to the states respectively, or to the people, any powers the Constitution did not delegate to the United States, nor prohibit the states from exercising.
The office of sheriff is created by the Constitution of the great state of Arizona. The sheriff is bound by the oath to uphold the Constitution of the state and answerable only to the people of the county NOT the Federal Government. The office of sheriff IS a part of the checks and balances of the United States of America. It is there to prevent the Federal Government from doing what it is trying to do today.
So what is the Federal Government going to do? Amend the Arizona State Constitution?
