no one should be happy at that pardon. A policeman who ignores the law? I hope the court ignores Trumps pardon and sends Arpaio to jail.

The left want Policemen jailed and statues ripped down.
Unacceptable to most normal hard working people. |
|
By:
They would rather jail a policemen than go after illegal immigrants.
Let 'human rights' be used to stop deportations that cause things like Barcelona. |
|
By:
Please.
Insider Trader. Loads of people have asked and you haven't (anywhere I've seen) answered in any way. Are you being paid to spread the Right-wing message on forums? Have you an interest in keeping the anti-left momentum going? Are you somehow more involved than just with passing interest? |

Are you being paid to spread the Right-wing message on forums? No. I am not 'right wing'. I believe in liberal policies of freedom of expression for all, free markets, low taxes and strong borders. Have you an interest in keeping the anti-left momentum going? No. Apart from being appauled by what their agenda is doing to the western world. Are you somehow more involved than just with passing interest? Not 'more involved' apart from what I said above. |

Dave,
Do you agree with judges ruling over democratically elected governments they cannot deport people that then go on to plot to murder people? Do you agree that there is an issue with 'human rights' and that well paid lawyers might put our lives in danger? Or are you happy for this things to continue as part of living in a big city? |
|
By:
Don't see what that has to do with Arpaio. He ignored the law. He is a dirty cop. He has tarnished law enforcement and put them at risk.
I will say that I am not in the least bothered about terrorism. It represents a miniscule additional risk. Anyone who foams at the mouth about it is as your crowd like to say a "snowflake" |
|
By:
So you agree that 'human rights' of criminals should be more important than the lives of hard working innocent people?
You think what happened in Barcelona was acceptable and you are 'not in the least bothered' about it? |

Can someone explain how Obama was President 8 years and there wasn't single a word in the news about white supremacist violence for the last 8 years ?

|
By:
Insider Trader if you choose to live your life cowering from terrorism, that is up to you. I don't.
Once again what has 'human rights' of criminals got to do with Arpaio? Do you think his human rights were abused? |

It's more convenient for people of that ilk to ignore the fact that someone convicted and facing a jail sentence was pardoned by Trump and change the subject. As for an independent judicial system being able to overrule the Government, that is the essential basis for a Democracy and has been since the Magna Carta. There are even influences in the American Bill of Rights but Trump wants to negate those rights by issuing pardons to convicted criminals.(if they're part of his gang).
|
|
By:
It is legal for the president to pardon someone , therefore it has nothing to do with the judges or Magna Carta.
|
|
By:
It doesn't matter if someone is a ' convicted criminal' , if there is no conviction there is no need for a pardon.
|
|
By:
What is Magna Carta ? well the judges do not say what is the law.
For 500 years the English law is what the English parliament says is the law. |
|
By:
If people don't like the presidents judgement as to who who he pardon's.
Then they can elect someone else. That's democracy. |
|
By:
get your heads around this then "a race war and a civil war are being incited by the US political establishment and Deep State opponents of Donald Trump in order to forment violence towards Trumps removal from the white house.the events in Charlottesville together
with Russia-Gate are being used as a "defining moment of crisis" and a pretext to justify Trumps overthrow. turning American streets into war zones. |
|
By:
as for coopermans assertion of an independent judicial system being able to overrule the government as being an essential principle of democracy ?
No that is the opposite of democracy , parliament makes the law, not the judges. |
|
By:
WD,
No I do not get paid. Why do you? Does Dave? Dave, I think your opinion would change very quickly if an illegal immigrant chopped up a family member or you had to hide in a basement until 5am as police shot 4 terrorists dead. |
|
By:
too busy fighting amongst yourselves to see what really is going on,o well.
|
|
By:
If course it's important to look at who the president pardons .
Obama commuted the sentence of Oscar Lopez Rivera , leader of a Marxist Leninist militant group that used terrorism in the US. The group commited more than a hundred bombings in the US and were responsible for many deaths. |
|
By:
Now I suggest the leftists should shut up about who Trump pardons.
|
|
By:
|
|
By:
Happened to family members in Cambrils. Stuck in basement fearing for their lives.
You only hear about the 16 dead. Even then you never hear their names beyond a day or two. Every attack may kill afew people, afew more lose limbs, but many thousands are caught up in them. Attacks are so random. Can you even remember have many children died in Manchester Arena bomb? |
|
By:
It is Trumps decision as president to pardon Arpaio, a good decision imo
If people like Dave disagree , then elect someone else in 4 years time. |
|
By:
very selfish of Dave to say because he hasn't affected by terrorism to him it is of no concern.
|
|
By:
not being scared of terrorists ? every sensitive person should be.
|

By:
Some Trump supporters are following his lead when defending his behaviour by mentioning something someone else has done as a way of deflecting attention away from the point in discussion. Quite a few USA Presidents have issued pardons but the thread is entitled TRUMP, is it not?
If you are accused of breaking the law, you will find it is an Independent Judicial System that determines your guilt or innocence. If the Government tries to implement a law it is that same system that will decide if what the Government is trying to implement is just or unjust, as has happened on numerous occasions. Countries that do not have an Independent Judicial System are not democratic, they are Dictatorships. |
|
By:
Dictatorships generally do not have free and fair elections.
Trump has done the right thing to Pardon someone who is 85 and has spent their life defending the American people. Liberal judges probably disagree. |
|
By:
Trump hasn't broken the law , at least not in this case, so that's nonsense from cooperman.
Also we are not trying to deflect from Trump pardoning Arpaio, i says it was a good thing imo |
|
By:
And the again it is fair to look at who Obama pardoned , presumably those Obama supporters , and leftists can understand that .
|
|
By:
I think also , in most court cases it is a jury that desides who is guilty or not guilty. Not the judge.
|
|
By:
Any democratically elected government can pass any law it wishes through parliament , that is the very nature of democracy.
Nothing to do with the judges . |
|
By:
Charles 1st tried to use the defence in his trial that what the court was doing was illegal.
He was informed that " English law is what the English parliament says is the law" and that was that. |
