glad he's focused on what matters. Also, hello from Austin Texas! {nm} Moviesnob Aug 25, 17:25

watch out for Harvey {nm} slipping jimmy Aug 25, 17:26

Category 4 so far - not (CATG5) yet. {nm} Captain Obvious Aug 25, 21:22

Sheriff convicted of doing his sworn duty to protect and enforce the immigration laws of the United States. TJNFL1 Aug 25, 22:23

Moral of the story - you don't have to follow laws that were passed by a party you don't agree with. Good to know. {nm} dubord.s Aug 25, 22:27

Even during a storm, you can do your job. Its what you get paid for. Suspending law enforcement just creates more problems. TJNFL1 Aug 25, 23:00

Contempt Of Court is not a Problem for a Birther when there is a Birther in the White House. {nm} Captain Obvious Aug 25, 23:32

And Obama was never going to pardon Hillary if Comey decided to call it a "Crime" instead of a "Matter"? {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 26, 00:09

Whataboutism. {nm} Captain Obvious Aug 26, 00:24

About as relevant a hypothetical as "won't Trump pardon Bannon if he's charged with a hate crime?" {nm} dubord.s Aug 26, 14:34

1 down 1,926 to go. TJNFL1 Aug 28, 00:36

Taking Whataboutism to another level. {nm} dubord.s Aug 28, 08:31

If Trump drops a nuke on North Korea, TJNFL1 will say that Democrat Truman did it first. {nm} Antibody Aug 28, 09:31

Historically, that would be accurate. Many similarities between Truman and Trump. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 29, 00:29

Having brown skin isn't probable cause. Latinos have been in Arizona longer than Anglos. {nm} Antibody Aug 27, 10:15

Maybe they were walking north? Maybe carrying a long peice of rope, or a shovel? Maybe their clothing said, "Made in Mexico"? TJNFL1 Aug 29, 00:49

CBC: Trump's hinted pardon of ally Joe Arpaio called 'extremely unusual' (on legal and political grounds) dubord.s Aug 28, 08:37

How can anyone at this point, say anything Trump does is 'extremely unusual'? {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 29, 01:09

Unusual for POTUS considering precedents. Nothing unusual given Trump's short track record. {nm} dubord.s Aug 29, 09:39

Prosecution was a politically motivated attempt by the Obama administration to undermine his re-election bid. {nm} TJNFL1 Aug 29, 13:17

Ah, so then it was ok to break the law because he disagreed with the current administration's and court's decisions. {nm} dubord.s Aug 29, 14:24

Convicting someone over an interpretation of a guideline sounds more political than it does criminal. TJNFL1 Aug 29, 20:54

the role of judges is to do exactly that - interpret law (or, as you say, "guideline"). The interpretation in this case wasn't political as Moviesnob Aug 30, 07:53

Here's an interesting thread from one of his CLERKS {nm} Moviesnob Aug 30, 07:53

If it's something he agrees with, it's a law. If it isn't, it's a "guideline". {nm} dubord.s Aug 30, 09:08

i think thats a running joke from the first Pirates of the Caribbean. Just replace "pirate code" with "US Constitution" {nm} Moviesnob Aug 30, 09:20

We'll just call it a "matter". {nm} TJNFL1 Sep 01, 02:01
