They told him he MUST do background checks on people who want gun permits. He told them to “screw off.” The sheriff is the top authority in the county and is not subject to being ORDERED by the feds to do ANYTHING. The Ninth’ “Circus” Court disagreed, but a higher court sided with him. The decision is below. As always, lawyers can’t say in one paragraph, what can be said in 50, but the last paragraph says it all. The federal government CANNOT “order” a sheriff to do ANYTHING, and most sheriffs do not know this. But they should now. (
