Arpaio DIDN'T even get a JURY TRIAL...
talk about corrupt...
U.S. District Court Judge
Susan Bolton should be fired...
Bolton served on the
Arizona Superior Court for Maricopa County, from 1989 to 2000.
On July 21, 2000, based upon the recommendation of
United States SenatorJon Kyl from Arizona, Bolton was nominated by President
Bill Clinton to a seat on the
United States District Court for the District of Arizona vacated by
Robert C. Broomfield. She was confirmed by the
United States Senate on October 3, 2000, and received her commission on October 13, 2000. She is a registered Independent. Bolton assumed
senior status on September 1, 2016.
In July 2010, Bolton heard arguments on three of seven lawsuits related to the
Arizona SB 1070 immigration law, the most notable of which is
United States v. Arizona.
On Wednesday, July 28, 2010, Bolton issued a ruling blocking small portions of SB 1070, writing that "requiring police to check the immigration status of those they arrest or whom they stop and suspect are in the country illegally would overwhelm the federal government's ability to respond, and could mean legal immigrants are wrongly arrested." Judge Bolton wrote: "Federal resources will be taxed and diverted from federal enforcement priorities as a result of the increase in requests for immigration status determination that will flow from Arizona."
On September 5, 2012, Judge Bolton cleared the way for police to carry out the 2010 law's requirement that officers, while enforcing other laws, may question the immigration status of those they suspect are in the country illegally. This part of the law has been called the "show me your papers" provision.
On July 31, 2017, Judge Bolton filed her "Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law" holding former Maricopa County sheriff
Joe Arpaio in criminal contempt of court for violating an injunction.
