Constitutional Sheriffs
#1
Quote:In Snohomish County, Washington, Sheriff Adam Fortney is refusing to enforce the governor's stay-at-home order. He claims the order "intrudes on our right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." On April 22, he told constituents via a Facebook post that "along with other elected Sheriffs around our state, the Snohomish County Sheriff's Office will not be enforcing an order preventing religious freedoms or constitutional rights."

These Washington sheriffs are far from alone. They're part of a nationwide group of sheriffs who feel beholden to no one but their voters. As they have on issues such as immigration and gun regulations, they will lead rebellions against higher levels of government - in this case, undermining public health efforts in the name of their interpretation of the U.S. Constitution. Here's how.

This sums it up. Not much to do with the Constitution. It's the voters who have their allegiance. Pretty much a publicity stunt.

Police always prioritize what they enforce. Only with less self-aggrandization.

Yes, they feel beholden to the voters to not charge them with unconstitutional charges. What's so hard to understand about that?

It's not hard to understand at all. They arrest (or not) based on personal beliefs. Just like local officers who won't cooperate with ICE.

Nope, nothing like that. They follow the Constitution, the Law of the Land.

Some might no doubt. Some may have never read it.

The Constitutionalist Sheriffs and Peace Office Association (CSPOA) claims to have over 400 members. Constitutionalist Sheriffs vow not to enforce federal laws that they consider a violation of individual rights granted by the Constitution.


I'm gonna say I doubt if any of these in the association were guilty of ignorance of the document.

I would disagree. Certainly they would know about the 10th amendment

There you go with your Cognitive dissonance again.
