No they are not Rep. Tutvedt. The County Sheriff can order the Feds out of his County any time he choses. And you're free to introduce Legislation at the State level to allow the hunting of wolves.
Grow some balls and tell the Feds to go p*** up a rope. Let Obama order Federal troops into Montana to enforce his will. Then things will get really interesting.
There’s a lot to be said for that. The Governor of Idaho just informed the feds in the last few weeks they were no longer going to enforce the federal protection of wolves. Too bad he didn’t go a little further and request the ID legislature to set a season for a wolf hunt.
Wonder what caliber rifle the guy had. Any guesses? My choice would be a 300 win mag.
...you are one of the few people that I have run across lately who recognizes the power that county sheriffs have. Sheriffs are the highest directly elected law enforcement officers that exist. Unfortunately, most county sheriffs do not seem to recognize the raw power that they possess. Most of them cave in and surrender to the feds or even state police when they move into their counties because the sheriffs will not exercise their authority.
County sheriffs could change our Country if they would only grow a pair....
You are right. The county sheriff is one of the most powerful positions in the US.
