I just know that (A) there's some nonsense floating around about "counties are the only Constitutional authority" and (B) Federal authorities are above any others, when they are acting lawfully. Getting a Court order is no doubt what they would probably do. I just know that because of some debacles like Ruby Ridge and Waco, some rubeish clods might be getting some "big britches" ideas. And if they try to obstruct FLEOs acting lawfully, they should be taken down hard.

I agree on both points. There is a balance of power between the States and the Feds, and in the past the Feds have abused it, but the States can and have abused their power also. It's very fine line and it is sometimes hard to stay on the right side.
