“Nor will I permit the enforcement of any unconstitutional regulations or orders by federal officers within the borders of Linn County, Barack Obama, James Meredith, Joe Biden, letter to Joe Biden, Linn County Oregon, OR.”, Oregon, Sheriff says he will not enforce law he deems unconstitutional, Sheriff Tim Mueller has a message for the Obama Administration — keep your hands off our guns., Supremacy Clause, television station KPTV, United States, University of Mississippi, Western Meadowlark
Oregon’s state bird–Western Meadowlark–
gapes open its bill with really strong muscles
to create a hole that gives it access to bugs.
Is this a metaphor for what that Sheriff is trying to do
by poking holes in the Constitution with his “I can keep feds out.”*
But,sir? This turf’s been turned back in 1962
when Gov. Barnett tried to refuse James Meredith entry into Ole Miss,
mocking like a Mockingbird,
his state bird.

* “Any federal regulation enacted by Congress or by executive order of the president offending the constitutional rights of my citizens shall not be enforced by me or by my deputies. Nor will I permit the enforcement of any unconstitutional regulations or orders by federal officers within the borders of Linn County, OR.” (note from Patty: Sheriff Mueller can’t do the latter. This is where he needs to re-take his U.S. History class and reread those chapters on James Meredith, Ross Barnet, and President Kennedy.)

Right on!!
He’s my new hero. And this website is Socialist trash.
The issue that the Sheriff raises has nothing to do with Socialism. It has to do with attention to history, protection of our communities, respect for the 2nd Amendment, and the official role of a Sheriff. Sheriffs are not hired to control the Federal Government and its legally hired people; that’s an issue that was settled in the 60′s.(As for the trash part of your comment, we’re trying not to write trash.As you know, that’s a real challenge.)

Sorta wonder if all this posturing is more reflective of “I want rights” than federal vs state laws
I would agree with you except for this: getting rid of the right to bear arms isn’t in the cards, at all. I think it’s used by NRA, etc. as a red herring to drag us off of smaller, specific actions that could cut down on gun violence.

Phrases such as, socialist trash, do not lend themselves to lucid discussion of the topic at hand.

Thanks for your stand on this, Patty. I’m appalled by NRA protests that sound like patriotic outrage, but are really red herrings disguising greed. I think many concerned citizens are aware, but overwhelmed by life, itself, and gangrenous power in high places. Morgan
“My mind is made up – don’t confuse me with facts”
That’s what comes to my mind when I listen to what the NRA spews.
Nice post, accurate and perfectly written. Liked the videos too btw.
