Or does the feral government enforce laws cafeteria-style?
I trust my county sheriff a hell of lot more than I trust obama.
Shove it, Obamadork.
Shove it deep.
Shove it often.
We really don’t give a smelly Obama what the h*** you say or think.
You are slime.
“Demand” all you want, Odumbass... Stomp your feet too..
what are you going to do about it?
The question becomes who decides if a law is repugnant to the Constitution? Marshall answered that as well - the courts, not the president or the sheriff. So if Obama's gun control legislation is ruled unconstitional by the courts then the law enforcement agencies cannot enforce them, no matter what Obama says. But before then...?
Why does the federal government insist that certain federal laws be enforced, but then allows sanctuary cities where federal immigration law is not enforced?
The county sheriffs blow a collective Bronx cheer to the adolescent boy POTUS.
Those who seek to enforce unconstitutional laws are themselves outlaws and should be dealt with as such. This, I think, is the very definition of tyranny and the very definition of resistance to such tyranny.
The Sherrif is an institution going back to Saxon Britain that provided local autonomy and a check on a rapacious Monarch.
Excellent reply at your link:
.... I suppose it is academically interesting to still speak of what is or is not constitutional in 2013. But, considering that 90% of what the Feds do is unconstitutional, why split hairs?
After the Civil War, the Constitution essentially ceased to exist, but sentimentalists wish to search for a more recent date for its passing.
OK, how about this trifecta from the 1960s, then…
1964 Civil Rights Act—Installed permanent victim “remedy” as a federal function—for all time
1965 Medicare–Fed intrusion into health care brought us to where we are today.
1965 Immigration reform–Purposely set up to turn US into a third world country
Each of these led to massive, uncontrollable bureaucracies, and ever-increasing Federal power.
The only hope is that this miserable system runs out of money.
Obamanation Counterculture File.
So when is Obama going to start removing officially elected county sheriffs....???
Note to Sheriffs: Don’t respond. Let them come for the answer to each individual Sheriff. Let them chase the answer round, and round as to what you are going to do. Pull a Jerry Brown on them, and tell them I’ll get back to you on that, and of course never do. Tell them what a great day it is today, and how the Sun is shining, and the birds are chirping, or recite the second amendment, or just let them hang.
the lawless One demands that the sheriffs uphold the unconstitutional laws he makes? He, himself, picks and chooses which ones he will or will not uphold. I hope these sheriffs remember this when accosted by the DOJ.
Pound sand, 0bamugabe! Your banana republic laws mean nothing.
