Haha oh my god. Yeah someone's getting fired over this.

But how long before we start getting FCC letterhead "jet fuel can't melt" memes? Or Bernie Would Have Won? And then how long before the extra freude from someone getting into some shiiiiiit for their upload?

From the tech support thread

I am a college professor and I would never ask a student to explain what medical condition they have that might make them miss class. Specifically because it's none of my business, and also because we have offices at the school that are dedicated to evaluating students' medical issues and disabilities, determining the accommodation they require, and telling me "so-and-so needs an extra week, everything is legit" or whatever. Total privacy.

This sounds like either the professor asked for the details, which is an ethics code violation; or the student volunteered the information, which makes me ask why would you ever voluntarily tell your professor about bumps on your rear end in a top hat??

Fellower lecturer here -- we have the same sorts of policies and procedures here for students, and yet they still send me emails detailing the minutiae of their ailments (colour, quantity, texture of output at either end, &c).

The schadenfreude is on all of us that for blatant misconduct, this police officer will get some administrative leave (paid vacation) and then be reinstated with no repercussions.

it's also on everyone in this thread who will now have to deal with a bunch of fuckwits saying things like the sheriff should have shot the guy or that he was justified in pulling a gun on someone for traffic offenses or some idiotic bullshit like that

More lovely reporting. That's the reporter's idea, not the judge's idea or the court's idea. The oral arguments were requested by Arpaio's lawyers. There is absolutely nobody arguing the validity of the pardon before the court.

I'm not a lawyer, so I'm very not sure about what's going on. It seems like this article is discussing something different/separate from the oral arguments/vacating. These other groups are asking for an injunction, not arguing before the court. It says they "sent a letter to Raymond N. Hulser and John Dixon Keller of the Public Integrity Section, Criminal Division of the Justice Department, arguing that the pardon goes beyond constitutional limits."

Definitely please clarify, I'm not arguing, just trying to understand.

Okay.

Here's what's going on inside the court, which is what matters here:

Arpaio was given a court order by a Federal judge to stop doing some things. He did not stop doing some things. He was charged with contempt of court for violating that order, and he was prosecuted on that charge and found guilty of a Federal crime (401(3) USC 18, "Disobedience or resistance to its lawful writ, process, order, rule, decree, or command."). After he was found guilty, but before he was sentenced, Trump issued an executive grant of clemency in the case.

At this point, Arpaio filed a motion to vacate the conviction, and all other orders in the case, and requested oral argument on the motion. So the court issued an order scheduling those oral arguments and giving the government a chance to respond.

https://www.scribd.com/document/357623060/Joseph-Arpaio-Order-Vacating-Sentencing-Dates-and-Request-for-Briefing-8-29-2017

quote:

"The Court has received notice from the Department of Justice, Office of the Pardon Attorney of the August 25, 2017 Pardon of the Defendant. The notice also attached a copy of the Full and Unconditional Pardon of Defendant. Defendant has also filed a Motion for Vacatur and Dismissal with Prejudice [Docket #220]. In the motion the Defendant asks that the Court rule promptly. The motion cannot be considered ex parte because it requests more than vacating the sentencing date and dismissal with prejudice. The Court cannot rule on the motion until the Government has had an opportunity to respond [to the Motion] and Defendant an opportunity to file a reply [to the Government's response]. Defendant also requested that the motion be set for argument...

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED setting oral argument on Defendant’s Motion for Vacatur and Dismissal With Prejudice [Doc. 220] on Wednesday, October 4, 2017, at 10:00 a.m."

The criminal case is *over*. The judge has already issued an order canceling the sentencing aspect of the case. What's going on is that Arpaio is asking the courts for a thing, and the judge is giving the DoJ an opportunity to raise arguments against what Arpaio is asking for.

Here's what's going on outside the court, which is everything else in that article:

An activist group that is not a party to the case at all has written a letter to some organization in the Department of Justice that is also not a party to the case at all expressing its opinion of dislike about the pardon. This opinion, the letter, the sender, and the recipient, all have nothing whatsoever to do with the matter before the court and will not be involved in the outcome of it at all.

I thought the reason for Arpaio attempting to vacate the conviction is that it would keep the civil suits off him.

It's not a particularly well-settled area, but the case that discusses it indicates that accepting the pardon is admissible as an implication of guilt. It's not a formal admission, or fully dispositive. It does, however, make civil cases way way easier if everything about getting it admitted goes accordingly.

I thought if the conviction was vacated then the civil suits couldn't piggyback the assumptive guilt of those charges to levy financial remunerations, but would additionally have to make that case themselves again. Then again Perry Mason didn't teach me this exact situation, so I may be slightly off.
