Sheriff Joe: "Prove It"

Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Arizona, doesn't mind, apparently, taking on anyone. This time he's taking on the federal government -- an entity with a marked larger whip in its hand than anything or anyone else. From WND Politics:

Maverick Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio is challenging the Obama administration’s Department of Justice to present evidence to back its charge that his office is discriminating against Hispanics.

“Prove it,” Arpaio said in remarks directed at Holder in an interview with WND.

“If Eric Holder has evidence that the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has engaged in systematic violations of the civil rights of Hispanic, then show me the evidence,” Arpaio said.

Arpaio contends that the 22-page complaint the Department of Justice released Dec. 15 against his office was nothing more than anecdotal and didn’t prove there are systematic sheriff’s department policies aimed at depriving Hispanics in Maricopa County of their civil rights.

Nor was Arpaio concerned that the DOJ might take him and his sheriff’s department to federal court.

“If the Justice Department wants to take me to court, I’m ready,” Arpaio said.

The Obama Administration is taking a hard line at anyone or anything remotely resembling pushback these days and -- as BZ readers already realize -- the US DOJ under Holder has already taken incompetency and fraud to a newer, higher level.

The largest crux of the biscuit is coming via SCOTUS this March 26th - 28th, when the court has announced it will hear oral arguments on ObamaKare. This decision will either begin to rightly disassemble the Obama Administration, or buttress it in a fashion that could never be done otherwise.

Any rational thinker who believed that former President Bush was Demorat Lite has had to adjust and ratchet their expections markedly down for Mr Obama and his minions of Socialism, who daily place themselves into the proverbial definition of insanity: doing the same thing again and again, expecting different results.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of pushback.

If ObakaKare fails, Mr Obama knows that the pushback just won't stop.

The Big Question: just what is waiting in the wings?
