ARPAIO TO DOJ: “I WILL NOT SURRENDER MY OFFICE TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT”

DOJ TO SHERIFF ARPAIO: “MONITOR ABSOLUTELY MANDATORY”

ARPAIO TO DOJ: “I WILL NOT SURRENDER MY OFFICE TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT”

(Phoenix, AZ) A series of meetings between representatives for Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and the U.S. Department of Justice were slated to begin tomorrow to discuss ways to resolve allegations of racial profiling by Sheriff’s employees.

But hours before the first meeting, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Roy Austin of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division called Arpaio’s attorneys with an ultimatum. Austin stated that it was absolutely mandatory for the Sheriff’s Office to agree to have an outside monitor otherwise there is no reason for further meetings.

Appointment of an outside monitor essentially usurps the powers and duties of an elected Sheriff and transfers them to a person or group of persons selected by the federal government. Every policy decision, every operation, every new program in the jails and in enforcement, virtually everything would have to be approved by the monitor, nullifying the authority of the elected Sheriff and eviscerating the will of the citizens of Maricopa County.

“I am the constitutionally and legitimately elected Sheriff and I absolutely refuse to surrender my responsibility to the federal government. And so to the Obama administration, who is attempting to strong arm me into submission only for its political gain, I say, ‘This will not happen, not on my watch!’”

Joe is right. The federal government has no more jurisdiction over him as an elected official than they would a governor or a state legislator. These criminal psychopaths of the former "Department of Justice" need severe re-education to understand the limits of their power.

Thanks for posting this article!!

I am thinking the worst of this development. And I am sure that many of you are thinking the same thing. If the feds are ready to order an elected sheriff to relinquish his post, then it seems to me that "plans" are farther along than we think. It almost seems like a green light for other elements of societal unrest to begin.

God, I love this man. I was in Phoenix last week but did not have time to find his office. Next trip our there, I’m making a special point to visit him and shake his hand.

I believe Holder was looking to control more than just Arpaio. I believe he's looking to control possible witnesses in Fast and Furious that may be in Arpaio’s jail. Of course, he probably thinks by knocking Arpaio down, it also knocks his credibility on the eligibility issue.

The current regime doesn’t realize that the USA is made up of sovereign states. But then, when you have a clown in office that doesn’t know the Constitution even though he taught it ....

To borrow a phrase from Algore, and use it where it is actually true, there is no controlling legal authority. The DoJ has no Constitutional authority to oversee a county sheriff’s office’s business.

Well, if we are going to talk about the magnificent, limited government PROSCRIBED poswers of our Constitution, we need to roll back to a better United States of at least 100 years ago.
