I actually agree with you that Pelosi is not doing the best for our country, too partisan. But then, you aren’t doing the best for our country either. Figured out the Bugs Bunny word yet? Starts with “M”.

This is a really good post and something I never thought about, but I do recall a few eatery charges on my credit card that seemed to be much higher than I recalled spending. Well I think I will make an effort to bring enuf cash for tipping from now on if possible!

Because of the deputy being jailed, most of the court security guards called in sick. Then the courthouse had to be evacuated due to a bomb threat. Arpaio has some classy folks working for him, doesnt he

Ok, I’ll strike the word “seemingly” from my post #7. Arpaio is running at about 50 times the rate of most other jurisdiction for inmate lawsuits. The politic shenanigans that goes on here is par for the course. If it isn’t the Sheriff’s office, it’s the Attorney’s Office (pick any one at any one time), if it’s neither, it’s the Legislature, if not them, the Governor. But Arpaio’s is writ large, and usually pretty silly. He has filed a federal Lawsuit against AZ on conspiracy regarding Stoddard.

The Sonoran desert is beautiful, as well the Mogollon Rim. Sigh…

Anyone for popcorn? It’s going to be a long show.

Jeff,

You’re totally right. Those papers represented an immediate lethal hazard to everyone in that courtroom and building. He saw that dangerous paper from 5 to 8 feet, one he hadn’t seen before, and then only had to rifle through them to find the right one. Yep, he was upholding Truth, Justice, and the American way.

I actually believe in those last few words, Grand Experiment and all that, but you don’t.

Bugs Bunny had a word for you.

Craig Joke #27,
Personally, I think a lot of this absolute immunity for prosecutors and qualified immunity for cops and bureaucrats needs to be defined more strictly. Mistakes will happen but knowingly doing it is a different matter, even ignorance of common knowledge is not an excuse (I’m being nuanced here, whatever the hell that means. I am drawn to the same standard applied to the rest of us, ignorance is no excuse.) For Prosecutors: knowingly withholding evidence, or falsifying in anyway, should be criminal. Period. For LEOs: falsifying reports or perjury, and clear excessive force, should remove their certification forever. Period. Acts that are not established law, in other words ambiguous, should not.

Neither group has a right to their job, or a right not to live in disgrace. Police unions need to be reigned in or dissolved when they support liars or perjurers. The technicalities need to go.

Sorry I took so long to respond.
