Judges against Arpaio should be the ones on trial

T.G. Fisher
A federal judge says he wants to see 'personal sacrifice' from Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

I cite the late Jack Paar, who had almost as much love for reporters and journalists as he had for the labors of cancer. "I am told," he once said, "that reporters fear three things: alcoholism, hemorrhoids and impotence. I have discovered a fourth. The truth."

Here is a truth your reporters apparently fear. Joe Arpaio is not a scofflaw. He hunts down the criminals who scoff at our immigration laws and parade in the streets laughing about getting away with it.

The most offensive scofflaws are the judges who aid and abet those criminals by blocking Arpaio's attempts to stem the tide. Why those judges are not charged with sedition and locked away until three days after the second coming of Christ is beyond me.

The fact that only Joe Arpaio has enough fortitude and sense of civic responsibility to challenge those scofflaw judge's courts is a sad commentary on the complacency of our citizens.
