"And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are a gift of God?" -- Thomas Jefferson

"And yet the same revolutionary belief for which our forbears fought is still at issue around the globe, the belief that the rights of man come not from generosity of the state but from the hand of God." -- John F. Kennedy

"Because of their belief that power had come from God to each individual, the Framers began the Constitution with the words 'we the people'" -- Newt Gingrich

"There's never been a nation like the United States, ever. It begins with the principles of our founding documents, principles that recognize that our rights come from God, not from our government." -- Marco Rubio

The federal government sued Joe Arpaio for failing to cooperate with an investigation into allegations that his department discriminated against prisoners with limited English-language skills, saying he refused to hand over information relating to an alleged "pattern or practice of discriminatory law enforcement conduct." 
"The actions of the sheriff's office are unprecedented. It is unfortunate that the department was forced to resort to litigation to gain access to public documents and facilities," Thomas E. Perez, assistant attorney general for the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division
Arpaio responded:


"These actions make it abundantly clear that Arizona, including this sheriff, IS Washington's new whipping boy.  Now it's time to take the gloves off. ... It's time Americans everywhere wake up and see this administration for what it really is. Calculating, underhanded at times and certainly not looking out for the best interests of the legal citizens residing in this country."

Arpaio said the federal government was disingenuous and was trying to cover up the fact that it had no evidence of discrimination by the sheriff or his office.


"The Obama administration intended to sue us all along, no matter what we did to try to avert it. They smiled in our faces and then stabbed us in the back with this lawsuit."
