1) He is not a federal judge.

2) If he chooses not to uphold federal law, he is probably violating his oath of office, the state constitution, or both.

Someone else who ignores the "well regulated militia" portion of the 2nd amendment. The country wasn't supposed to have a standing army and the State militias were critical to defense of the country. Get rid of the standing army and you'll get a lot more support from me on the 2nd amendments flakey Supreme Court interpretation.

Obama has been the toughest President on illegal immigrants. I don't think it's practical to seek out and try to get rid of 12 million people. It is practical and intelligent to provide a path to citizenship. (At the end of the line, but in it.)

Doesn't matter what, or whom, he's violating. Who's gonna press charges against him? Some local? 

Yeah, right. And that local will get hauled in and charged with everything possible.

The point is that there are no possible charges to file. There are no laws that he is breaking with this.

Fraud. He took an oath of office and recieves compensation for acting under that oath. If he willfully breaks that oath he is committing fraud.

[Minning Around]

Boone County, West Virginia. Inbred hicks who don't understand the law. Got it.

A charge of fraud in this case would be thrown out of the D.A.'s office. He is gaining nothing, he is deceiving nobody, and there is no way to prove that this sheriff knows that what he wrote is untrue.

In short, that is completely ridiculous.

The 2004 Presidential election certainly proved that.

Here's a picture of the illustrious Sheriff.

Why is it that the level-of-attachment-to-guns is almost always directly inverse to the person's liklihood of ever getting laid?

[Ed]

He already had the job when he wrote that letter. No, this would be laughed out of the D.A.'s office, let alone a courtroom.

It would depend on what laws he decides to not enforce and how he goes about it.  That's what is so dumb about this whole thing.  It's a meaningless threat to not enforce laws that don't even yet exist.

I'd have to go back and look at the Administration's recently announced changes, but I don't think there is anything there that would fall under his jurisdiction anyway, is there?   He's just blowing smoke for his own political purposes.

As far as laws-that-haven't-been-passed yet.  Who knows until they are passed?  What?  He's going to look the other way at a private gun sale where the seller doesn't perform a background check?   OK.  But again, I don't even know that that would be something the county sheriff would get involved in anyway.

Who knows what-the-fuck would happen in West Virginia, but I doubt the DA would probably do much unless there was some conseuences for the sheriff's inaction.

Let's say, for example, we pass mandatory background checks for all private gun sales and he refuses to enforce that law in his county.  DA might not do anything about that.  But let's say somebody bought a gun who wouldn't have passed that background check and kills somebody with it and it's easy to show that the sheriff's office KNEW the seller wasn't doing the proper checks.

Then, yeah.  I could see the DA getting involved at that point.  But it's all WAY too speculative because this guy said nothing specific about what laws he believes might be "unconstitutional".  He's just blowing smoke.
