Our republic is an interesting animal when it comes to “control” from a central authority. Elected Sheriff’s and District Attorney’s are the highest law enforcement within counties so when you break it down to the “smallest level” or “tip of the spear” for law enforcement there is minimal control from our capital.
County judges or district court judges are elected at the local level. Same thing for the courts.
This was by design on the part of our founders who abhorred centralized control at any level of government. Checks and balances exist throughout our constitutional republic.
The DC hysteria has a limited influence outside the capital (and on the screens and pages of big media). We still have a constitution and we still have courts and local governance. The left is going to exert a lot of power in the next two years, but they will overplay their hand. They always do.
