I’m looking forward to him trying to arrest the judge. ---

Thank God for Joe Arpaio, selflessly and bravely [investigating Barack Obama’s birth certificate](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio#Investigation_of_President_Obama.E2.80.99s_birth_certificate). We certainly need more men like him willing to bravely deny reality. ---

I suspect this may make him more popular with his constituents, not less. A public battle with a Federal Judge? I think they just answered Sheriff Joe’s prayers. ---

> [@magellan01](#): > > Arpaio does his job very well. So well, they should put him in charge of the whole border. Nah, he’d go off-script the first week on the job. Whenever your side launches wars on poor countries, you like to pretend they started it. ---
