    Trump pardon of Arpaio shows gross contempt for the rule of law. Silence by Congress is unacceptable.

        Trump absolves Arpaio of all federal legal culpability - a disgraceful and immoral attack on the courts and the Constitution.

        Congress must hold the President accountable - and protect the rule of law.

        Trump's political pardon of Arpaio condones years of illegal racial profiling and mocks honorable, hardworking law enforcers.

        Your argument makes too much sense for @realDonaldTrump to comprehend. He cares not for constitution as his only interest is self-interest.

        wanting to stop all work till president is removed is disrespecting election results. No better than a coup in a barbarian regime.
