Washington Times:  “Controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio of Maricopa County, Ariz., is no stranger to hardball tactics, so he probably isn’t fazed by being on the receiving end of rough politics.  Still, that doesn’t excuse the Obama administration’s apparent ideological vendetta against him.   By the (il)logic of the administration and its allies at the American Civil Liberties Union, Sheriff Arpaio should not set up a phone tip line to search for immigration violators, and he is not allowed to tell the public about federal immigration enforcement policies even if he is merely disputing demonstrable falsehoods told about him; yet the Justice Department can set up an anonymous tip line to gather evidence against the sheriff.   Of course, the administration isn’t much worried about consistency.  Moral grandstanding is its game, and its intended prize is the scalp of a pestilent sheriff.”
