The U.S. Justice Department sued Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Thursday, saying the Arizona lawman refused for more than a year to turn over records in an investigation into allegations his department discriminates against Hispanics.

It was the first debate of the Arizona governor's race, and likely the last, as there's no way incumbent Republican Gov. Jan Brewer chances another disaster like this one. It started out embarrassing enough:

Arizona law SB 1070, with amendment HB 2162, does explicitly state that it will not allow for racial discrimination or racial profiling. However, HB 2162 only makes SB 1070 appear less racist...not become less racist.

"This idea that White folks give voice to every now and then that they're losing their country, sometimes they mean with Black folks and the Black president and sometimes they're referring to Latinos and Brown folks.

Congressman Steve Montenegro, R-Ariz., said during the televised debate that the Arizona law mirrors federal immigration law. According to Medina, that claim is"absolutely false."

...Matt Lewis, a staunchly conservative but independent-minded and intellectually honest columnist at the Daily Caller, dares to dissent from the party line.
