I will come back with the link but wanted to report this miscarriage of justice in the great state of Arizona. More trash on that bitch! Excuse my language but I detest that woman.

GeeeeZussssss!!
Now, please tell me this man can get help with this!
Due process is in the US Constitution! And, wouldn't Brewer be subject to legal charges for this? OK, we need the attorney members to speak to this. Wouldn't federal jurisdiction supercede her in a case such as this?
I am mortified about this! Not that I don't know that there are many miscarriages of justice in the US as well as quite a divide between POC and the ruling class in terms of arrest, conviction and incarceration- guilty or not.
Most people don't give a damn about these kinds of things until or unless it happens to someone they love or a good friend or family member. They just think a verdict of guilty is it and have no problem with innocent people serving time.
Frankly, after seeing some of the coverage of Brewer during election debates, I think she suffers from dementia. I am not being cruel- have a brother-in-law with Alzheimer's and it is an awful disease. Brewer shows many of the symptoms. Let us not forget that Ronald reagan also displayed symptoms while in office. geez, and he was just the person that had the codes for that briefcase to use nukes!
