Or perhaps our president is simply righting a wrong committed by the judiciary.  If this pardon of a petty offense is the earth-shattering action the so-called progressives seek to inform us it is, how is it the actual crime committed is, according to the judiciary itself, only a petty crime?  Perhaps, just perhaps mind you, the judiciary itself acted improperly for the purpose of ensuring their vigilante actions wouldn't be waylaid.  Otherwise, the left is, yet again, pitching a hissy fit over a petty matter.  Can't have it both ways folks . . . either it's a minor matter unworthy of the disproportionate response or it's a major matter and Sheriff Arapio was unconstitutionally denied his right to a jury trial by the federal judiciary.  Which is it?
