How about you find out what the Sheriff has or hasn’t done before you pray for that worthless sack. They want to send them back to prison under a new terrorism law, which is retroactive, which violates double jeopardy Constitutional law. The Sheriff is sitting on his hands, because half the population of Burns works for the Fed.

Actually now. The Hammonds were convicted under laws that called for a mandatory five year minimum sentence. The jury sentenced them to terms that were less than that. A court ordered them back to jail because that's what the law required. Now if your argument is against mandatory sentences then I may not disagree with you. But there isn't any double jeopardy issues here.
