Discussing gun control, CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Friday told a Utah sheriff that if Barack Obama issues an executive order, that order is the law and the sheriff must obey. However, jurisprudence on this topic reveals exactly the opposite.
As the head of the executive branch of the federal government, a president can issue executive orders only to employees of the federal government—and only regarding implementing federal laws or programs. A governor can likewise issue executive orders to employees of his state government regarding the laws or programs of that state.
Every sheriff is a county officer, elected by the voters of that county...

With journalists, blatant ignorance is not the order. Propaganda is! Tell the liberal lie every time they open their mouths and that is all the low information crowd knows.
ergo,the lie is now the truth.
I thought this was settled at the Neuremburg trials.
An Executive Order from Hitler (Obama) that was an illegal order could not be used to excuse the Holocaust.
I was ordered to murder those people could not ne used as an excuse.
An Executive order from Obama cannot supercede the Constitution.
I know he is doing it, and I know the Supreme Court under Roberts is allowing it, but it is up to us to stop it, hence the 2nd. Amendment.
Der Deutchzkrautlander ist vrong!
Actually, they have always been ignorant. That's why they asked questions, to learn and to pass on what they learned.
Now days, they are stupid. Like the politicians they cover, they think they know it all and just ask questions to reinforce their “knowledge”.
Ignorant is just a lack of knowledge, You can still learn.
Stupid is terminal.
Fact Check: Government officials have a duty to defy an unlawful order.
That was pretty much established at Nuremberg.
Next candidates for national offices need to totally discredit and ignore the media. Tell the low informed: “you cannot rely on them”, “reject them”, “they are deceiving you” and “you need to think and feel these issues for yourself, not elitists in DC”.
As an example, he cannot demand that I turn down my thermostat by two degrees (nor can he legally send someone to tell me that). He cannot command a local police officer to shoot someone that displeases him, although I'm sure he and his liberal running dogs think he can and wish that he would.
I think Wolf, like our Kenyan president, view Executive orders as King's Edicts. Opposing the order means opposing the King. I'm surprised Wolf didn't say the Sheriff was liable for the death penalty.
Where is CNN’s legal Jeffery Tuna when you need him?
Wolfie doesn’t seem to understand that the oaths are to the Constitution first and then to those put over you. If an order/law is illegal/unconstitutional, then it is everyone’s DUTY to disobey.
Despite his Luftwaffe-ace sounding name, Wolf Blitzer is in fact Jewish.
Telling that local sheriff that a POTUS’ word is law amounts to cheerleading for FASCISM. And the world knows what happened to the Jews because someone “was only following orders” from the head of state.
He needs to get his Constitutional facts straight & learn a little more history.
As the French could have told you some German people are hereditarily neo-nazis and totalitarians. Wolf is simply in the wrong country in the wrong century. Don’t listen to him.
“Geeze, when did journalists become so ignorant? I knew most of them were not the brightest bulbs on the tree, but this blatant ignorance is almost embarrassing.”
I admire the way the Brits refer to “journalists” like the Wolfboy with the more accurate term “News Readers.”
No intelligence required to be a News Reader.
Let em say what they want...this B.S. is going to be ignored even more than the Volstead act was.
“Where is CNN’s legal Jeffery Tuna when you need him?”
CNN’s “Tuna” was last seen slathered with mayo - and don’t ask further unless your gag reflex is under strict control.
Yep, States can defy EO’s with nullification and local Sheriff’s answer to their county constituents. I think in the very near future we are going to see a whole lot of nullifyin goin on.
The whole notion of federalism and devolving power away from the federal government is totally lost on liberals like Blitzer. It doesn’t even occur to them.
thanks
Obama defies court orders claiming who is going to force him to obey, so, why can’t a Sheriff claim the same thing? Besides, screw with our Sheriffs and it won’t matter if we like him or not, we just hate the feds and would stand with him.
