Befoire you spout any more of your supposed legal knowledge, you might want to check out the following regarding actual case law on the point of federal “supremacy” over the states and local sheriffs. It can found, in full, here: http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/95-1478.ZO.html

SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
——————————————————————————–
Nos. 95-1478 and 95-1503
——————————————————————————–
JAY PRINTZ, SHERIFF/CORONER, RAVALLI COUNTY, MONTANA, PETITIONER 95-1478 v. UNITED STATES RICHARD MACK, PETITIONER 95-1503
on writs of certiorari to the united states court of appeals for the ninth circuit
[June 27, 1997]

Justice Scalia delivered the opinion of the Court.

The question presented in these cases is whether certain interim provisions of the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act, Pub. L. 103-159, 107 Stat. 1536, commanding state and local law enforcement officers to conduct background checks on prospective handgun purchasers and to perform certain related tasks, violate the Constitution.
“Much of the Constitution is concerned with setting forth the form of our government, and the courts have traditionally invalidated measures deviating from that form. The result may appear `formalistic’ in a given case to partisans of the measure at issue, because such measures are typically the product of the era’s perceived necessity. But the Constitutio

The sheriff is part of the executive branch of government and thus is constitutionally required by way of solemn oath, to uphold, defend, support, and obey the United States Constitution. So just like our President and Representatives, our sheriff’s supreme duty and responsibility is to protect and defend the Constitution.

This “defense” should rightly take the form of securing the county from encroachment by the federal government. The sheriff is the supreme law enforcement authority in his county and it is for this reason that the office of sheriff is an elected position. In fact, this is the most important aspect of the sheriff’s authority; he is elected by, for, and of the people. He is not appointed, he is not a bureaucrat, he does not report to the town manager or to the city council. He reports directly to the people and is answerable to them and them alone. The role of the sheriff is another checks and balance put in place by our founders to help secure a free nation. The office should serve as another level of protection between the government and the people.

The Brady Bill was passed by Congress and signed in to law by President Clinton. This law, among other things, sought to force all sheriffs in the nation to promote gun control within their own jurisdictions with no funds being allocated for them to do this work. Additionally, The Brady Act even contained a provision to arrest the Sheriff should he fail to comply. At this time, Richard Mack, Sheriff from Graham County, Arizona, along with six other sheriffs from around the country (Sheriffs Koog from Texas, Frank from Vermont, Romero from Louisiana, McGee from Mississippi, Printz from Montana, and Anders from Wyoming) filed suit against the federal government with the assertion that the Brady Bill was an unconstitutional law.
On June 27, 1997 they won their suit when the Supreme Court ruled that the Brady Bill was in fact unconstitutional stating that the federal government could not commandeer state or county officers for federal bidding. Justice Scalia asserted the following in the supreme court ruling:
“The great innovation of this design was that our citizens would have two political capacities, one state and one federal, each protected from incursion by the other, a legal system unprecedented in form and design, establishing two forms of government, each with its own direct relationship, its own privity, its own set of rights and obligations to the people who sustain it and are governed by it…

There’s a reason they call it the “October Surprise.” We can only hope that Mitt has several in store. Also, it is common for the challenger to wait until his VP running mate is picked and let them do the “dirty work,” thus keeping the presidential nominee out of the fray and on topic. We can only hope . . .

Your sources are Snopes and Fact Check . . . Enough said. Here’s a clue: the first three numbers of your social cesurity number identify the state froom which it came. His first three numbers are known. They identify Connecticut. Try learning something before going to the liberal talking points and “sources” – you may end up being conservative!

Not sure why you hate your fellow Americans, especially those from the so-called Heartland. I can only surmise that it’s because you perceive them to be conservative? The truly sad thing here, #1, is the amount of hate you show towards others whom you choose to demonize, belittle and attack, just because they may be different than you in their thinking and beliefs. Take a good hard look in the mirror, my friend. You might want to consider your own existence and question how you differ from those you demise for the presumptive values you foist on them. This may help you:
1. Be impeccable with your word
2. Make no assumptions
3. Take nothing personally
4. Always do your best

I’m praying for and wish you all the best.

Is this just your opinion, or do you have some facts to back it up?

I am curious as to why so many would choose to devalue themselves and belittle their fellow citizens with this type of posting?
