   Obama and Holder target law enforcement for enforcing the law…

   Officials from the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division notified Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Tuesday that they had begun the investigation, which will focus on whether deputies are engaging in “patterns or practices of discriminatory police practices and unconstitutional searches and seizures.”

   An expert said it is the department’s first civil-rights probe related to immigration enforcement.
   Arpaio vehemently denies that deputies are illegally profiling as part of his immigration crackdowns. He said Tuesday that he welcomes the investigation and intends to cooperate fully.

   “We have nothing to hide,” he said.

   Although Arpaio’s illegal-immigration crackdowns have broad public support, they also have led to calls for an examination of his tactics.

   Last year, Phoenix Mayor Phil Gordon asked for a federal investigation of possible civil-rights abuses. Last month, four key Democratic members of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee asked Attorney General Eric Holder and Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to investigate Arpaio.

   The lawmakers said Arpaio had exceeded the limits of a federal program that gives local police federal immigration-enforcement powers by ordering deputies to “scour” Latino neighborhoods looking for illegal immigrants based on skin color.

   Arpaio, who was easily re-elected to a fifth term in November, called the investigation politically motivated and vowed to continue to arrest illegal immigrants.

   “I am not going to be intimidated by the politics and by the Justice Department,” Arpaio said. “I want the people of Arizona to know this: I will continue to enforce all the immigration laws.”

   Arpaio uses the sweeps to enforce the state’s employer-sanctions and anti-smuggling laws. He also participates in a federal program that lets local officers enforce federal immigration laws. The sweeps have taken place in mostly Latino neighborhoods or near where day laborers congregate. They have sparked two racial-profiling lawsuits.

   The Justice Department frequently receives racial-profiling complaints against police departments, but investigations are rare, said David Harris, a University of Pittsburgh law professor and racial-profiling expert.

   This is why none of these guys will ever come out strongly against other Corruptocrats or Corrupticans, because so many have so much to hide.

   As far as what P-BO cabinet secretary position he should get-I don’t know about education, I think this guy should be the drug czar, even though it was bumped down from cabinet secretary.

   Compared to some of the others, this one’s kind of mild.

    It will put an end to this sham. i dont care if Biden is President. It will mean the end of lil bHo’s incompetence.

    and his “legislation”.

    Bear1909 out.

    PS: If anyone needs to call this tin foil “birther” talk, then so be it. But the facts are the facts. So let’s get em out on the table, whether anyone thinks it is beneath their dignity or not. End the controversy with a little bit of truth. It will be worth it.

    Well, just where else would you find criminals conveniently congregated for easy arrest?? Since the factual statistics ARE that over 35% of the criminals in AZ jails are hispanic–why would Sheriff Joe go to the Scottsdale Nordstroms mall for a sweep?? Gov Nappy fought him about this for hispanic votes and the press only. Nothing’s changed.

    “I am not going to be intimidated by the politics and by the Justice Department,” Arpaio said. “I want the people of Arizona to know this: I will continue to enforce all the immigration laws.”

    Does he sound scared???

    I think with Sheriff Joe being the target of MALDEF and La Raza, Holder and the DoJ and Napolitano, odds are good that he winds up like Agents Ramos and Compeon, with no chance for a pardon/commutation before 2013, at the earliest.

    WVHTC? I lived in West By God Virginia for 10 years. It’s a dump. Not long ago & may still be true, Ohio County (Wheeling) has the oldest population in the country. The local economy stinks on ice, so the biggest growth industry is malpractice complaints. While it isn’t exactly a “Deliverence” type of place, have no doubt the locals, especially in the middle & southern part of the state, do not like outsiders. I’m not saying people there are close-minded & just a few decades short of any recent century, but according to a former college room mate from way up the holler, where he lived it was still not unusual for a guy to give his fiance his Klan ring when they got engaged. And yes, many of those counties are still fighting the Civil War.

    Never going to be anything else with the Democrats trying to shut down the coal industry. That, country music, and Klansmen are all they’ve ever produced. Well, outside of a couple of my cousins.

    From the Office of the Speaker of the House:

    It has been brought to the Speaker’s attention that a member of the House may be involved in unethical behavior. The Speaker takes these allegations very seriously and renews her promise to make this the most ethical Congress in American history. However, the House is unable to focus on more than one issue at a time*; therefore any questions about Mr. Mollohan’s dealings will have to wait until the House has finished investigating former President Bush and any other Republican who’s ever done anything.

    * I’m pretty sure the Constitution says this.

    WV politicians could give lessons in pork and corruption. I was born there, grew up there and graduated from WVU. That was a long time ago; back when another Mollohan was the congress critter from the same district. It is another beautiful place ruined by Democrat politicians.

    MTNEER in #23. Yes, it is a beautiful place, & I always enjoyed being in the mountains, camping, or rafting. Some pretty good skiing in the winter, too, for those who are insane enough to strap lumber to their extremities & launch themselves down a slope. I went alone to a lot of nasty places, though. Of course, I was in the baby snatching biz then, so no parent really welcomes Da Welfare Man coming to haul their children off, even if it is to a somewhat safer, warmer,fed & clothed environment.
