Trouble for gun grabbers in NM...2A sanctuary counties

They have a duty to the Constitution first. If a law violates that, it is their responsibility to not enforce it.

They have a duty to enforce laws that are on the books, not someone's wish list. They can be fired and the county/city sued for ignoring criminal behavior.

That is totally false.

That is totally false.

Prove it.

C'mon man - prove it; I haven't got all day.

I don't particularly care about your schedule. I went to the gym and got a haircut.

Your statement was totally false and the reason has already be provided by another member above. In the US, the local sheriff is the enforcer of the Constitution at the local level. That is why they are elected. So Citizens can ensure they have a voice when it comes to the Government and laws that may run afoul of the Constitution. So when your Statist ilk pass unconstitutional laws, a sheriff who takes his oath seriously steps in and shuts you down fast.

So, then such a sheriff couldn't give me a speeding ticket because it's my constitutional right to go a mile a minute.

AND - from the OP article; a Tweet from the governor:

...That’s not how laws work, of course, and it’s not how oaths of office work either. But let’s move past that. #SB8

So, my point is proven.

Your's still isn't, and other -opinions - cant cut it either.

How does a speed limit relate to the Constitution?

Never mind....

And the governor is incorrect in your post I am quoting. She is just butt-hurt because her sheriffs are slapping her down from her unconstitutional actions. As they should.

No, they can't be "fired". A Sheriff in the State of New Mexico may only be removed from office by judicial action. I explained that once already. They don't work for the Governor. She can't fire them. The County Commission can't fire them.

Now, who is it in this thread who doesn't know what he is talking about? Look in a mirror and introduce yourself.

A sheriff - who does not enforce the law - as written - will be removed from office - and any deputy - likely charged - can and will be - fired.

That is the law.

Only if his constituents are weak puffs. American men will back their constitutional sheriffs who defy the Constitution. That leaves you in a bad place I realize. Oh well.
