Plus, of course, sheriffs are _not_ required to obey the will of the people - they’re required to obey the law. ---

I find myself wondering why “pro” is in front of “life”, “veerans”, and “2nd Amendment” but not in front of the rest. I kid; I kid. I know full well why it’s not. They’re pro their base and the rest are just words they’ve heard yet have zero interest in actually addressing because their stance on those is bullshit. Oh, and they don’t represent American values by a long shot! ---
