Was that criminal contempt? Did he end up taking that deposition or not? Joe, willfully and continued to defy a court order.
You are becoming the queen of false equivalency.

Arpaio's pardon only covers his contempt conviction. This would be a good opportunity to bring charges for hiss other crimes.

Isn't the Constitution the thing that gives him the power? You can't pick and choose tutu.

That was from the Justice Dept of a president with questionable citizenship so that kangaroo court order didn't count.
That was a made up charge and you know it.
Had the tables been reversed and you were in his shoes, you'd scream to high heaven.

He was well within his powers to do it. I never said otherwise. It was still a slap in the face of justice.

NRA’S MESSAGE TO LIBERAL ELITISTS: ‘WE’RE COMING FOR YOU’

You are the queen of excuses for liars, pinheads & haters. Great group of stooges you defend.
You maybe right regarding false equivalency...
The ruling against the sitting President was much more important than the contempt charges against a county sheriff....
Washington Post
In a biting, 32-page opinion, U.S. District Judge Susan Webber Wright of Arkansas said Clinton gave "false, misleading and evasive answers that were designed to obstruct the judicial process" in Jones's sexual harassment lawsuit. She specifically cited Clinton's assertions that he was never alone with Lewinsky and that he did not have a sexual relationship with the former White House intern.
Wright, who personally presided over Clinton's January 1998 deposition in the Jones case, acknowledged that no court had ever taken such action against a president but said it was important to act to "protect the integrity" of the judicial process.
"Sanctions must be imposed, not only to redress the president's misconduct, but to deter others who might themselves consider emulating the president of the United States by engaging in misconduct that undermines the integrity of the judicial system," she wrote.
"It's the first time in this whole case that he's been held accountable -- and it's a legal ruling, not a political decision," said John W. Whitehead, president of the Virginia-based Rutherford Institute, which helped finance the Jones lawsuit. "It was an important test of whether we're going to have a rule of law. It was an important ruling."
Wright had the option to order more severe penalties under her civil contempt authority and had the power to summarily find Clinton guilty of criminal contempt.

That may be going a bit too far, it certainly isn't Birth of a Nation (the old film not the recently made movie). Art depicting fictional characters in a semi-historically accurate setting is not in my opinion, "glorifying slavery" or the attempts to battle to save the institution thereof. Statues of the actual participants that fought to retain the right to own and treat human beings however they saw fit is a different matter, Especially when those statues were, for the most part, erected decades after the war and during times of extreme racial tension. Statues that some have argued were erected to show who was in charge, they didn't put up any tributes to Harriet Tubman in those days that's for sure.
