The Democratic Majority Leader of the Virginia State Senate admitted over the weekend to blocking a pay raise for Virginia sheriffs for their support of the Second Amendment sanctuary movement.
Sen. Richard “Dick” L. Saslaw told Republican Senator Bill Stanley after a floor session that the Democrats had blocked the three percent pay raise because, according to Sen. Stanley’s recollection, “they came to our committees and said that they weren’t going to enforce our laws.”
Stanley made the allegation in a Facebook post, and Saslaw admitted to the retributive move in an interview with local media.

Seeing how Sheriff's are elected for the most part, maybe these
ReplyDeletetwo traitors should resign and make America great again.
Sheriff's are the law of the land in their county.
Amen.
DeleteGovernor, how are "red flag laws" to be enforced without violating the 4th and 5th Amendments? I think there's a SCOTUS landmark decision, yea verily, a precedent ruling that addresses that.

Once upon a time, true liberals championed that ruling and those rights--and rightly so. I and those who support "the rule of law" still do. --Ron W
Thanks.
DeleteGovernors have no control over sheriffs in their County. Sorry Madam, it just AIN'T GOING TO HAPPEN!
ReplyDeleteBut, but, but.......
DeleteSheriffs are the highest elected Constitutional officers of their County. It is their sworn duty to follow the Constitution and REFUSE to enforce unconstitutional laws. Here is another SCOTUS precedent as stated by the first Chirf Justice, John Marshall. I bet this lady governor calls Roe vs Wade, "the law of the land". Of course, maybe she needs a refresher on the 4th and 5th Amendments and these high court decisions. --Ron W
