Sheriff Joe Arpaio learns his presidential pardon was actually an admission of guilt:

[tenderfoot]

This encapsulates "constitutional conservatism" perfectly. For all their love of symbols of the law, especially force, conservatives have very little understanding of the actual ideas behind the laws.

1. Im a big fan of Ari Melber. Well done with

this interview

2. A logical person might then ask...

would that disqualify him from running for public office because he logically is an admitted felon?

3. Admitted isn't convicted, and 'no' either way?

At least that's what a quick web search suggests.

4. Admitted is worse than convicted, there should be commercial after commercial on his admission

[Downtown Hound]

5. It was a misdemeanor

Otherwise, yes, he would be disqualified. It should have been a felony though. What he did was way more than a misdemeanor.

6. Thanks for the clarification.

Considering all the cruel and unusual things he did to inmates through the years, he should be relegated to assistant Walmart greeter in the middle of a desert with no air conditioning.

7. No, he should be permanently interned in one of his own concentration camps.

And let some of his victims run the camp.

8. And, made to wear only a pink jump suit! n/t

12. False.

Anyone convicted of anything can run for federal office. The Constitution does not place limits on convictions.

10. Ari was on fire.

This is a perfect example of actually listening to the interviewee and possing followup questions.

15. +1, I've been impressed with Ari sticking to the facts and being accurate

[AwakeAtLast]

11. What a vile lump of pus.

I'm being nice, too.

13. No worse that a barking dog. Senate Candidate Joe Arpaio

WOOF!

[Grammy23]

14. Yep. Joe seemed genuinely surprised when Ari explained

that by accepting the pardon, he was in essence, admitting guilt. It was almost like he couldn't believe what he was hearing. But Joe. It is true. So shut up and just go away.
