Maybe Joe Arpaio wasn't a Constitutional cop after all. Gavin Seim reveals an example of an AZ cop under JA being tyrannical by pointing a gun at teens?

"I catch Joe Arpaio’s thugs harassing these teens while coming to Phoenix Summer 2016. Arizona leaders like to pretend they are Constitutional but nothing could be further from the truth."

Former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio asks US Supreme Court for jury trial in contempt case

PHOENIX (KSAZ) - Former Sheriff Joe Arpaio has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to consider his request to have a jury, rather than a judge, decide whether he should be convicted of criminal contempt-of-court charge for defying a court order in a racial profiling case.

Arpaio's lawyers made the filing with the nation's highest court on Wednesday, a month before he's scheduled to be tried on a misdemeanor charge for ignoring an order to stop his immigration patrols.

"You have a lot of lawyers who are deciding what the truth is, and it's important to have the people do that, not a room full of lawyers," said Arpaio's attorney, Jack Wilenchick.

A local judge and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals have previously rejected requests to have a jury trial.

"For this kind of a case it's especially important we get a jury, because this is a case for Contempt of Courts," said Wilenchick. "It's basically a case that the court started and if the court tries the case, they're going to have a judge that's basically sitting over its own prosecution."

In the filing, Arpaio's attorneys raise a possible scenario in which the 84-year-old lawman is convicted of the charge and appeals the case, yet dies before his appeal is ruled on."

"That's a reference to a Supreme Court case in another state where the court said, it's important to look at this issue before the trial happens," said Wilenchick. "You can't just let a trial happen and let the judge rule and then go through the normal appeals process, because someone of that kind of age could even die during the appeals process, in which case, the conviction can never be reversed, it just stands."

The team is asking the Supreme Court to expedite its decision, as a trial is set to begin on June 26. If convicted, Arpaio could spend six months in jail.

As I stated in an earlier post, many Arizonans are hopful that Arpaio will *get the max* in order to send the message that you don't interfere with illegal immigration in Arizona. His successor as Sheriff of Maricopa County has made it clear that he will not enforce immigration Laws Re. illegal immigrants.

Joe Arpiao is a good man, he doesn't coddle criminals, he cuts down on tax payers mone by setting up tent cities, they don't want to come back, isn't that the point?

Wrangling begins in contempt trial of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio

Wrangling begins in contempt trial of former Sheriff Joe Arpaio

PHOENIX – Prosecutors painted former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio as a law enforcement leader who disregarded a federal judge’s orders to halt racial profiling of Latino motorists and passengers, while Arpaio’s attorneys said he followed the law “as the law exists” during opening statements in his federal criminal contempt trial.

Arpaio, in his first major public appearance in recent weeks, sat quietly in U.S. District Court as attorneys on both sides of his criminal contempt trial delivered their remarks.

A federal judge initially leveled a civil contempt charge in May 2016, accusing Arpaio of flouting an order a few years earlier to end his controversial program of stopping drivers based solely on the suspicion they were undocumented immigrants. Arpaio, Maricopa’s sheriff for 24 years, was referred for criminal charges in October, two weeks before the November election, which was won by Paul Penzone.

At least 170 undocumented immigrants were transferred to federal authorities for 17 months despite a federal judge’s order, prosecutor Victor Salgado said.

“He thought he would get away with it,” Salgado said.

Defense attorney Dennis Wilenchik said it was outrageous to say Arpaio deliberately defied a judge’s order.

“He followed the law as the law exists,” Wilenchik said.

Outside the court during a lunch break, Arpaio lawyer Mark Goldman said the former sheriff is not guilty of civil or criminal contempt.

“I believe that given the evidence that we will present and cross examination of the government’s witnesses will show that the sheriff was never in contempt of any order, let alone any criminal contempt,” Goldman told reporters.

Arpaio declined to comment on whether he will testify during the trial.

“I got great lawyers,” he said outside the courthouse.

Sheriff Arpaio nevr demonstrated much knowledge of the principles of the US Constitution that I and others concerned about allegiance to the Constitution could detect. And for that reason he is not getting the support of many Arizonans of my acquaintance who believe he was justified in most of what he did, especially Re. illegal immigrants. I find that unfortunate. We now have in Maricopa County a sheriff who has made it clear he will ignore immigration law.

He needs to have a meeting with Gavin Seim. Gavin could teach him all about rule of law and unconstitutional men and women in law enforcement and their abstract view of what laws they are bound by their oath of office to follow, enforce, respect and honor, both them and those they serve.

It is my understanding that the Constitutional Peace Officers and Sheriffs Association has tried to educate Arpaio in constitutional principles and to get him to join the organization, to no avail. So it seems he has lost a lot of support from constitutionalists

The real question is how many out of the total apprended illegals were criminals in other areas besides immigration? Why is nobody discussing this fact. It's well known that ICE was encouraged to go after people that were criminals from drugs, gangs, rape, murder. Though this guy started that earlier than recent ICE encouragement, the principle is the same.

Nobody is really asking did they deserve to be punished.

Yet another example of judicial overreach. This country will not survive much longer if this keeps up where evil unpunished and good suffer;

3 Nephi;10 But it came to pass in the twenty and ninth year there began to be some disputings among the people; and some were lifted up unto pride and boastings because of their exceedingly great riches, yea, even unto great persecutions; 11; 11 For there were many merchants in the land, and also many lawyers, and many officers. 13 Some were lifted up in pride, and others were exceedingly humble; some did return railing for railing, while others would receive railing and persecution and all manner of afflictions...14 And thus there became a great inequality in all the land...

15 Now the cause of this iniquity of the people was this—Satan had great power, unto the stirring up of the people to do all manner of iniquity, and to the puffing them up with pride, tempting them to seek for power, and authority, and riches, and the vain things of the world. (in conjunction with other verses; and leaving the hungry to go unfed, and the homeless to be untreated, casting out the poor.)

17 And thus, in the commencement of the thirtieth year—the people having been delivered up for the space of a long time to be carried about by the temptations of the devil whithersoever he desired to carry them, and to do whatsoever iniquity he desired they should—and thus in the commencement of this, the thirtieth year, they were in a state of awful wickedness.

20 And there began to be men inspired from heaven and sent forth, standing among the people in all the land, preaching and testifying boldly of the sins and iniquities of the people, and testifying unto them concerning the redemption which the Lord would make for his people, or in other words, the resurrection of Christ; and they did testify boldly of his death and sufferings. (Isn't that us repeating that right now?)

21 Now there were many of the people who were exceedingly angry because of those who testified of these things; and those who were angry were chiefly the chief judges, and they who had been high priests and lawyers; yea, all those who were lawyers were angry with those who testified of these things. (We want an end to judicial overreach, but we need help from the Lord.)

27 Now it came to pass that those judges had many friends and kindreds; and the remainder, yea, even almost all the lawyers and the high priests, did gather themselves together, and unite with the kindreds of those judges who were to be tried according to the law. (Elitism cooperates to take the spoils...)

30 And they did set at defiance the law and the rights of their country; and they did covenant one with another to destroy the governor, and to establish a king over the land, that the land should no more be at liberty but should be subject unto kings. (Also happening right now. Why do they hate Trump so much if he is not a type of "...covenant one with another to destroy the governor..."

Can there be any doubt that it's all not happening right now? And 3 Nephi's Chapter 6 timeline, compare with 3 Nephi 11's...our timeline how much do you think is really left?

Time is running out for you to have a chance to do good in the world still.

"WASHINGTON, D.C. – After being convicted of criminal misdemeanor contempt, former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has come out swinging, arguing the judge was biased and asking why President Trump is abandoning him, considering Arpaio was an early campaign supporter whose conviction reflects the determination to enforce immigration laws the Trump Justice Department is now exhibiting.
“Where is President Trump on this case?” Arpaio asked Infowars.com in an exclusive interview. “This is a witch hunt against me that is being carried forward by Obama holdovers in Attorney General Sessions’ Department of Justice.”
“I’m being convicted for honestly trying to enforce the immigration laws that Trump swore during the campaign he would uphold if elected president,” Arpaio insisted."

I voted for Arpaio to be re-elected because I believe he was honestly trying to enforce the immigration laws. His successor has made it clear that he will not enforce immigration laws.

I've wondered many times why rose bushes have thorns on them. These turkeys that will not enforce Constitutional law are the thorns. No? Chalk another one up for Obama. :ymdevil:

Illegals coming into this country are not immigrants, they are home invaders.

Who here would okay having twenty people come into their home, uninvited, at 2:00 AM and welcome them, give them sleeping, food, medical care, money and free roaming rights any where in the house no matter what time or who is already in the bathroom? And then to top that off, they tell you how you will live from then on in making sure they have all their wants and demands met without question, because they will be there for an indefinite period of time.

One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to figure this out.

Wake Up, America.

I wish more Americans understood that the PTB/LDGs are fomenting mass migration into America, illegal immigration, and amnesty for persons illegally in the United States in order to destroy its culture and siphon off its wealth. They are striving to increase the size of the socialist voting bloc by inviting people easily classified as refugees to come to the U.S.A., and working toward securing voting rights for immigrants of socialist persuasion. Most Americans are oblivious of this plot. They are not aware of the concerted attacks against the freedoms of Americans in order to make such a shambles of our country that "we the people" will willingly submit to a world government. They do not recognize the efforts to destroy this nation by changing its government from a constitutional republic to something akin to a socialist dictatorship. I can find no word better than TREASON to describe what is being done to our nation in the effort to establish a global government. Yet many Americans, including a lot of LDS Church leaders are supporting and encouraging these forms of immigration.
