U.S. District Judge Susan Ritchie Bolton says that President Trump's pardon of former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio does not "revise the historical facts" of his case — and that she will not vacate her ruling that found Arpaio guilty of criminal contempt.
On Thursday, Bolton quoted Black's Law Dictionary to say that a pardon "releases the wrongdoer from punishment and restores the offender's civil rights without qualification." But she then added a further interpretation in her own words: "It does not erase a judgment of conviction, or its underlying legal and factual findings."

Judges need to initially pass a lie detector test, pass a head doctor examination with testing, signed waivers for all medical records to be reviewed and medications since turning 18, urinalysis and random urinalysis along with random lie detector test performed throughout career. If the person refuses ANY test automatically suspended then fired.... I am amazed that they don't. Currently the criteria is become a lawyer Kiss the right political butt and your selected.
ReplyDeleteI believe the President can pardon whomever he wants. Didn't Obama without asking a judge if it is okay to do so. Hell no. Judge has no respect for our President Trump and should be fired.
ReplyDeleteObama had a law degree and could make an educated decision on a legal matter.
ReplyDeleteTrump has no such qualification.
Activist judges have no place in society.
ReplyDeleteThis judge is an idealog and as such shouldn't be a judge at all.
ReplyDelete2:35..."Obama had a law degree..."
ReplyDeleteHow funny you are!!! And so uninformed!
Obama once complained that the Supreme Court shouldn't be able to overturn laws passed by the representatives of the people.
AND he supposedly taught Constitutional Law. AND was President at the time.
Obama's "law degree"? Must have been a minority contract award.
He also FLAUNTED enough laws to credibly say he didn't know jack about "the law".
A buffoon your hero legal eagle turned out to be....
Not disagreeing with a word you said. Obama was a prime a$$hole. Simply stating a fact.
DeleteUninformed? I think not. Just not blinded by silly tweets and free red MAGA hat.
But thanks for your input.
A presidential pardon trumps the conviction, like a royal straight flush. I'm tired of these liberal judges reinterpreting the constitution.
ReplyDeleteThe people need to take action against these judges. That's why we have the 2nd amendment.
ReplyDeletefollow the money. Watch for a free-spending judge who, in a few months commits suicide by shooting herself in the back of her head. Dead men tell NO tales.
