Fuck Sheriff Joe - Courts Say "No, Bad Sheriff" Edition

So, an AZ federal court has formally told Joe to stop arresting people for the horrible crime of being brown.

http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2011/12/28/395608/federal-judge-orders-sheriff-arpaio-to-stop-arresting-people-simply-because-he-thinks-they-are-undocumented/

The ruling is also set as a class action lawsuit, so anyone arrested under this can join it and force the MCSD to abide by the ruling.

It's good to finally see the courts pushing back on him.

    How long before Joe sues the federal court system?

    Do you think Joe wants to take this to the Supreme Court?

    Do you think the Supreme Court wants to hear it?

    ...and when you are done with that; take a folding
    chair to Creation and then suplex the Void.

    I'm sure Clarence Thomas's wife could always use another job/bribe so sure.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    He couldn't possibly be stupid enough to leave state courts. He has no control on the federal level his bully and scare tactics won't work

    I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.

    Hey, you never know. Sheriff Joe doesn't seem like the brightest kind of white old guy, he just might try something sane men would consider stupid.

    Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.

    I got a little excited when I saw your ship.

    Probably unwise. I'd expect him to Christoforo himself immediately.

    Unless the federal court room is in his county, never.
