It's a quiet night on Dkos, hope this news release diverts your attention from the Karl Rove crafted Romney victory speech.
I'm not going to do the homework for conservative members of Dkos. Teh Google, or insert your favorite search engine, is my suggestion for those, like my brothers, who say stupid things and expect me to defend my position.
Government plans to sue Arizona sheriff for targeting Latinos
By Jeremy Pelofsky | Reuters
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Obama administration on Tuesday said it was preparing to sue Arizona county sheriff Joe Arpaio and his department for violating civil rights laws by improperly targeting Latinos in a bid to crack down on illegal immigrants.
Snip….
"MCSO's refusal to engage in good faith negotiations requires us to prepare for civil (court) action," Austin said. He added that the Justice Department has recently discovered more information about the "failure to reasonably investigate sex crimes" by Arpaio's office.
The Justice Department in a December report outlined numerous alleged civil rights violations, including that Latino drivers were four to nine times more likely to be stopped than non-Latinos by Arpaio's force.

The crazies are in full attack mode around the world. I follow events in Europe, Russia, China, Africa, Brazil, India, Israel, Iran, Egypt, and all points east and west. Every day, my hope for world peace is diminished. What is happening in my small world of Arizona insanity can not compare to the sorrows of others facing political oppression.
Perhaps I should explain "crazies"? The Conservative, wrong winged, party loyalists are coordinating an attack against Christians/Jews/Muslims/Buddhists/Hindus/Sikhs, anyone with human values of loving one another as you love yourself. These thugs have a contempt for religion, it is about world domination of the many by the few.
This little slice of political, and religious insanity encompasses more than the beautiful State of Arizona. For example: we have Putin, former KGB, a Soviet, atheist thug who embraces the church when it is politically expedient. You will notice the headline is Orthodox Church under attack, who cares about those who want a secular, democratic Russia?
Russian Church: under attack after backing Putin
By Gleb Bryanski | Reuters
MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia's Orthodox Church said on Tuesday it was under attack from unspecified "anti-Russian forces" seeking to erode its authority after it threw its weight behind Vladimir Putin before last month's presidential election.
The unusually strongly-worded statement listed a recent protest performance by an all-girl punk band in Moscow's main cathedral as well as media allegations against Patriarch Kirill as examples of such attacks.
Snip…
In February five masked performers from the Pussy Riot band clad in short dresses and multi-colored tights stormed the altar of Moscow's Christ the Saviour Church singing "Holy Mother, Throw Putin Out!". Three band members are currently under arrest.
Snip….
Putin and President Dmitry Medvedev as well as their wives Lyudmila and Svetlana openly practice their faith. Putin sought the blessing of a famous Byzantine icon in a remote monastery before embarking on the election campaign.
