Wyoming sheriffs put feds in their place
Wyoming sheriffs put feds in their place:
County sheriffs in Wyoming are demanding that federal agents actually abide by the Constitution, or face arrest. Even better, a U.S. District Court agreed according to the Keene Free Press:
The court decision was the result of a suit against both the BATF and the IRS by Mattis and other members of the Wyoming Sheriff’s Association. The suit in the Wyoming federal court district sought restoration of the protections enshrined in the United States Constitution and the Wyoming Constitution.
Guess what? The District Court ruled in favor of the sheriffs. In fact, they stated, Wyoming is a sovereign state and the duly elected sheriff of a county is the highest law enforcement official within a county and has law enforcement powers exceeding that of any other state or federal official.�
This is the best article I've seen in a long time. This actually has huge implications, essentially rolling back the loss of the Confederate States in the War of Northern Aggression. The Civil War was not about slavery. Abraham Lincoln said the South could keep their slaves if they'd just stay in the Union. The Civil War was fought over states' rights.
To me, this sounds very much like the states have rights that supercede the rights of the criminal vermin in the federal alphabet soup agencies (BATFE, IRS, INS, CIA, etc.)
