9th Circuit appoints special prosecutor against Sheriff Joe Arpaio

That phrase did not have the force of law, and legal scholars today do not agree with you.

Legal scholars are split as to whether those remarks were made in dicta. Most accept it as binding. The Justice Department guidelines for accepting clemency petitions requires that the petitioner "has accepted responsibility for his or her criminal conduct..."

Maybe they’ll be twerking too!

Wasn’t Nixon granted a pardon without being charged for anything?

[neverevergiveup]

It’s ironic how many ‘lawyers’ don’t respect the law.

Sounds like obvious grounds to impeach the judges.

I think there's hope if we move away from legal positivism in favor of natural law theory. Everybody says the great maze of legal formalisms around us is the last word on whatever subjects they address, but who looks at the law in light of a higher purpose, anymore?

The ninth circus, losing again.

“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. “

“DJT should pardon Sheriff Joe.”

Again?

Did the dead 9th Circus judge also concur with the majority?

[Mariner]

A President’s power to pardon is ABSOLUTE, and no Federal Court has a say in the matter.

See Article II of the Constitution.

Then impeach and hang these judges.

“It’s ironic how many ‘lawyers’ don’t respect the law.”

What? After they’ve f@#$ed the law so many times, so many ways, now they’re going to respect it?

[caww]

Obama and Holder activating ‘their’ Judges again.........anyone they target they'll keep in the courts til they destroy their life monetarily with Attorney fees.

[for-q-clinton]

Nope. A pardon means it never happened.

[Lurkinanloomin]

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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That’s because most of those wearing R jerseys are corrupt globalist open borders leftist scum.

Nope. A pardon means it never happened.

Nope, a pardon means that the President, or governor as the case may be, forgives the crime and waives any remaining penalty for it. If it means the conviction never happened then there are no Fifth Amendment protections and a person could be tried again for the same offense. But a person who has been pardoned cannot be tried again because they were already convicted for the crime.

....You need not look any further then these three

'activating' their bought and paid for Judges!

[Mmmike]

Even lawyers sometimes just-plain-want-their-way, but they are required to couch it in a certain formal language.
