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 Sheriffs employees.
But hours before the first meeting, Deputy Assistant Attorney General Roy Austin of the Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division called Arpaios attorneys with an ultimatum. Austin stated that it was absolutely mandatory for the Sheriffs 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!

Gotta laugh to keep from crying! There truly is no controlling legal authority now. The rule of law is dead.
Let’s send this link to Obama, Holder, and about all the other Democrats as well:

Perhaps they will find it of interest.
I was just going to post the same thouhgt.
Time for Jan Brewer to show some cojones and back her Sheriff up.
We have a Federal Government out of control, and they need to be reigned in.
Spot on mate, especially after re-election. Between this and threatening SCOTUS, I will have no problem holding my nose and voting for whoever the nominee is. We are in for a world of hurt if this bastard gets 4 more years.
Outstanding! I had long forgotten that one. Kipling had many lessons to teach, did he not? I’ll answer the call of my Celtic blood when the time comes.

Does the term “de facto” mean anything to you?
Actually, I just found that one here a few days ago.
My great-great-grandfather Andrew was born in Ireland in 1840; I suspect I owe my existence to phytophthora infestans.
Interestingly, the students at the local high school call themselves the Saxons.
Following the link, it now looks familiar; thanks for the reminder.
My grandfather on my Dad’s side hailed from County Cork. Irish to the core. He was a traveling liquor salesman. Died of cirrhosis of the liver.
My mom’s side was Bayou Cajun. Now there’s a combo - Acadian-Gaelic.
-——Theyre not ordering him to relinquish his office.-——
Maybe not actually leave his office.... Put the shoe on your foot
You husband (if you are married) sends his mother in every day to watch you work and find fault in everything you do....it is mandatory or you have to get a divorce ....
How long would that last....?
Starting over? We’ve been losing ground that whole hundred years...
Time for a different course of action.
DOJ is trying to get him to agree to this. When it comes to stepping up the attack, they will seek a federal judge to issue a court order.
PING! Thanks.
