Thanks for the lesson. This is true and I was wrong. Ya know, it actually makes me feel better knowing that the feds ain't all powerful...I don't follow law that much, so I learn from people like you.
No problem. I don't expect people accustomed to the intrusions of hierachical power to be aware that their local officials are actually more accountable to them than they realize. Now that you know, please spread the word: The election of your local sheriff is a matter of real importance.
