PHOENIX -- A judge has been assigned to preside over the U.S. Justice Department's civil rights lawsuit against the Maricopa County Sheriff Office.

U.S. District Judge Roslyn Silver was randomly drawn as the judge to preside over the case.

4. I want to see Arpaio incarcerated in his "tent city" where

temperatures under the tents hit 140F. I just watched the episode of Lockdown that covered his jails, and if you want to see cruel and unusual punishment, that's the place. It showed the inmates getting their meals and it was literally a hunk of white bread and a carton of milk. People get sent there for a year or more at a time, and the only way out is to volunteer for hard labor in the AZ sun for 5 months.

And these are mostly petty criminals.

Looks like Joe might get a fair trial. That could no doubt, be bad news for old Joe!

And look at the Judge's background. I like it!
