Is Trump's pardon of Arpaoi a presidential endorsement of racism and contempt of the law and the constitution ?

“With his pardon of Arpaio, Trump has chosen lawlessness over justice, division over unity, hurt over healing,” ACLU Deputy Legal Director Cecillia Wang said in a statement. “Once again, the president has acted in support of illegal, failed immigration enforcement practices that target people of color and have been struck down by the courts. His pardon of Arpaio is a presidential endorsement of racism.”

Not at all. Arpaio never should have been charged in the first place. If your going to make a uninformed statement about someone at least learn how to spell their name correctly.

@nudistsueaz 'Arpaio never should have been charged in the first place. ' ....... Why ?

@MsMarvel He was enforcing the Arizona Revised Statutes as part of his sworn duty as an elected law officer in and for Maricopa County. A federal judge told him to stop enforcing the law. That is where the issues started. It was all very political in nature.

@nudistsueaz It's pretty simple. A judge with relevant jurisdiction directly told him not to do something and he did it anyway. Contempt of court charges are a standard response.

The squabble before that may have been political, but Arpaio's charges are perfectly normal.

@QuixoticSoul All true....that's why so many liked him.

@nudistsueaz Perhaps. But due process is a good thing, however inconvenient at times. If the feds decide something is unconstitutional, you can appeal, but that injunction is binding in the meantime.

@QuixoticSoul Your not a big supporter of State Rights...

@nudistsueaz no, he believes in communal liberalism, collectivism of morons imposed federally.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@nudistsueaz Definitely not when it comes to violating the US constitution. Supreme law of the land.

I'm fine with state rights and broad self-government, but states aren't independent nations. If US constitution doesn't apply in Arizona, what is even the point of the union?

@MasterLee Fake news. Breibart cucked you again.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@QuixoticSoul you do seem sufficiently brainwashed. You could write press releases for the DNC and land an interview with Rachael madcow

@MasterLee You're still drowning in koolaid.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@QuixoticSoul yes being thrown by morons. Careful, it might lead to more vomiting if you continue to drink it.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MasterLee I know better than to drink your koolaid hahaha - trust me, you're a fantastic cautionary tale as is, no need to sell me.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@QuixoticSoul oh I have no desire to save you. Hahahaha
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MasterLee You're still doing it. Every time you say something retarded or post a plainly racist obama meme, I feel just a little better about myself just for not being you.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@QuixoticSoul you should have your mommy fix some chicken soup. Go quickly child.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MasterLee That was massively retarded, thank you. Let's see what else you can do.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@QuixoticSoul how long have you had this short circuit? No one who disagrees with liberalism is a racist. You poor abused child.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MasterLee That was even more fantastically retarded.

Actually kind of amazing. I mean, you completely forgot about the KKK and their ilk - apparently you think they're liberals. That's just precious. A complete lack of basic understanding of our political landscape. This is a true gem, I don't even know if you can do any better.

Also I didn't even call anyone racist, so this is not only retarded but also completely out of the left wing.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@QuixoticSoul racists are alive and well but they are almost exclusively democrat. You are so blind.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MasterLee "almost exclusively" is just cuckservative hyperbolic nonsense - but sure there are plenty of racist Dems. If you think that makes your statement any less retarded, you're wrong.
MasterLee · 56-60, M
@QuixoticSoul I know, to intellectual for you. The bad people are like you.
QuixoticSoul · 41-45, M
@MasterLee You know, I'm sure there is a logic class you could take at a community college. Or discrete math or something. A bit of propositional calculus and basic set theory, and you'll look, like, 10% less retarded.

Goddamn, that really is amazingly stupid. The depths of it!
