Dissenting judge on panel worries ruling could foster ‘inappropriate… political attacks’ on presidency
A federal appeals court said this week it will appoint a lawyer to argue that former Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s contempt of court conviction should remain on his record despite President Trump’s pardon.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said that since the federal Justice Department is supporting both the pardon and Mr. Arpaio’s request to have his conviction stricken, someone else needs to argue the other side.
Mr. Arpaio argues that the pardon came before he had a chance to appeal his conviction, and even before the federal district judge in the case had a chance to rule on his request that it be set aside. The former Maricopa County sheriff’s opponents had said not only should the conviction stand, but the pardon should be deemed invalid because it subverted the justice system.

LOL. I believe you are correct !
Any prosecutor who would be a party to this should be disbarred
(As long as they're not Democrats).
Leftist corrupt scum will do anything to destroy the enemies of globalist open borders.
This is all out war on our freedom and only Trump is even trying to fight back.
No it isn’t. I hope at least you enjoyed the Crackerjacks inside the box with your law degree.
See my replies 37, 38, and 40.
That case merely means a person cannot be forced to accept a pardon. They may refuse it.
He did pardon him and it can’t be undone. Liberals are idiots,
True. But once a person accepts a pardon it is an admission of guilt. As the court said.
That phrase did not have the force of law, and legal scholars today do not agree with you.
But as usual, you are merely being an anti-Trump bomb thrower.
These are the people who write judicial opinions without making reference to existing law, right?
Trump should have made him Director of Homeland Security, or Director of the FBI. Sheriff Joe is an honorable man and was with the president BEFORE he announced he was running for president. They are best of friends,
Obama and holder and their puppets are determine to drive this guy to his grave. Had we put hold run jail for fast and furious and obama for Benghazi and IRS and wiretapping Trump this wouldn’t be happening.
as Lincoln said of Grant, “...can’t spare this man. He fights.” and our common enemy continues to prosecute him with vigor and visceral hate. that means they fear him above most other threats to their evil agenda.
so, if you’re reading this, go on Sheriff Joe!
in a sane world, this latest attack should help you. may God help you and bless you, on your way. thank you for your service to America.
“some pardons expressly state that they are based on the pardoner’s decision that the defendant was actually innocent; and some legal rules expressly contemplate that — consider, for instance, the federal statute that provides for compensation of the unjustly convicted, which allows a plaintiff to prevail by showing (among other things) “that he has been pardoned upon the stated ground of innocence and unjust conviction.” UPDATE: The Justice Department Standards for Consideration of Clemency Petitioners also expressly contemplate the possibility of “pardon on grounds of innocence or miscarriage of justice,” “
I defy you to find a judge in the last 100 years that has held that accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. Many pardons are given precisely because the person is believed to be innocent and wrongfully convicted...like Arpaio.

Leave it to the 9th circus to turn the constitution into a butt wipe.
Congress should impeach every judge that went for this insanity.
.
put holder in jail
Accomplishing what and at what cost?
The Courts engaging in Political Assassination, pure and simple.

Pardons are not “accepted;” they are just invoked. There is no acceptance process.
