AZ ABA prosecutes DA and blogger

| September 14, 2011

John Hawkins at Right Wing News writes about the Arizona Bar Association’s prosecution of Maricopa County’s attorney, Andrew Thomas and two of his deputies, including Right Wing News blogger Rachel Alexander.

Apparently, Thomas is trying a novel approach to illegal immigrants in Maricopa County – he’s actually prosecuting and then tossing them out of the State for the crime and AZ ABA don’t like that. And it seems that the ABA isn’t enamored with Alexander’s blog.

Blogging while conservative is not a crime. Fighting against illegal immigration and corruption is not a crime. However, misusing the justice system for purely political purposes is absolutely despicable and the more sunlight that shines in on this issue in Arizona, the more the cockroaches who are persecuting conservatives will start to scatter.

It seems to me that an association of lawyers would be more interested in enforcing laws than taking political shots, but that doesn’t seem to be the case in Maricopa County among squishy liberal lawyers.

It is pretty clearly wrong of them to go after this blogger, but since she’s a Paulian, I have a hard time getting too worked up over it. Mind you, it is still wrong, but I’m just not sympathetic anymore to Paulians.

Hey Jonn, how will these ABA guys make their bimmer payments if Thomas keeps shipping their potential clients out of state? Think of the chirrin’!

Isn’t that the county where Sheriff Arpaio is based?

This is retribution for Thomas going after corruption, and a message to others (by way of his assitants) to never get involved in anti-corruption fights.

And this is McCain’s state, too.
