A national group of sheriffs that claims the top law enforcers in American counties are not bound by federal law has successfully spread its doctrine to dozens of states in recent years.
Have you heard of Judges? They have their own set of rules that are enforced as law.
edit: I guess you haven’t. Well the TL;DR is: Law isn’t just decided by congress. How law is interpreted is decided largely by judges. What is and isn’t law is still up for discussion and Judges have a lot of influence on that. If you find yourself in a court room, you would be well served to treat the judge as “judge, jury and executioner” (The way most cops see themselves) because the judge is a judge, you may not get a jury, and there is such a concept of “judicial rule”.
Bottom line is the law is subjective and open to interpretation, largely by judges, who have little or no accountability.
Judges are every bit as bad, but also no need for the snark, the article is about this sheriff’s association, not judges, so why would I bring up judges when the topic is about a specific sheriff’s organization?
Obviously the Department of Justice as a whole has a whole lot of problems, but these Sheriffs are trying to avoid answering to that, which brings a different level of problems.
The judicial portion of the Justice Dept is obviously going to continue to have problems as long as we keep letting Judges on the highest court get away with their corruption, guys like Alito and Thomas set precedent for all their Junior judges, most of whom come from the very same corrupted Judicial society, the Federalist Society.
Also we shouldn’t rely on the voting populace to place judges, and we shouldn’t allow for politicians to decide our judges, there has to be a better way to get professional, qualified, and non-biased judges.
