DENVER -- The Colorado sheriff whose county includes the movie theater where 12 people were shot and killed last year says law-enforcement officers have no right to ignore gun-control laws unless the courts rule them unconstitutional.
Arapahoe County Sheriff Grayson Robinson issued a statement Wednesday criticizing police and sheriff's officials who have said they would not enforce gun-control laws they consider unconstitutional.

For a law enforcement official to claim that authority would be the equivalent of police officers or deputies deciding that people they arrest are guilty and sentencing them to jail, he said.

If a law enforcement officer enforced a law was obviously un-Constitutional, it would be analogous to a military officer following orders that are obviously unlawful, and then claiming he was "only following orders".
That didn't work our too well for Lt. Calley in the Mi Lai hearings.
Pu$$y!
I eagerly await this sheriff’s enforcement of Federal Marijuana laws in the great state of Colorado.

I don’t know why anyone can object to LEOs not enforcing laws they see as UNconstitutional, when our Commander-in-Chief seems to simply ignore enforcing constitutional laws he doesn’t like.
Do these LEOs pledge their oath to a court? or, to the Constitution? It's either one or the other!
Don't see why not. The administration has made it clear that that it sees fit to enforce or not enforce laws at its option,.
Call me when you worry about all the officials who openly told LEOs to ignore immigration laws, for years now.
.
Barack Hussein Soetero-Obama duh IInd and Attorney General Eric Holder said they are ignoring the “Defense of Marriage Act” because they say “it is not Constitutional” -

For a law enforcement official to claim that authority would be the equivalent of police officers or deputies deciding that people they DETAIN ARE NOT GUILTY AND LET THEM GO.
Fixed the statement.
Its a good thing they are identifying who is a friend and who is a foe now.
Or for a jury to decide a law is not valid ... y'know ... like .. in jury nullification ??
Who are ordinary people to decide for themselves what is law and what isn't ?
Stuff it, sherriff.
Robinson sounds like he might be one of Barry’s boys.
The immigration law in question, the 1987 INA, specifically prohibits non-enforcement or modification, yet here we are.
Who needs a court to tell them what “shall not be infringed” means?
I don’t, sheriff, and I’m not going to obey tyrants.
Just the sort of sonofabitch soetoro is looking for.
