So Holder is correct here, there is no obligation to enforce laws. What Holder will never say, though, is that this also applies to gun laws, or any other laws. As it happens, Sheriffs in several Colorado counties are stating that their officers will not enforce some of Colorado’s recent gun prohibitions, i.e. taking some power away from the ‘rat legislature.

I understand your point here. It has some validity on a "case by case" basis regarding how applicable a law might be in a certain circumstance (letter Vs intent). HOWEVER, I disagree that there is discretion on what laws to enforce or ignore in their entirety. These officials that represent elected positions in government at all levels swear an oath to uphold and enforce the law. They cannot, by personal belief, refuse to enforce laws in general.

In CO I would say the same, that on a case by case basis, an AG can determine whether a law was broken or is applicable. But the idea of ignoring or encouraging a disregard for the law violates an oath of office. Without the recognition of the "Rule of Law" we have no government at all. The only power our government has is the citizenry faith in it, much like our currency. If government cannot be trusted, they will not be obeyed. This is well documented throughout history. A government crumbles when "its subjects" (which is what we have become) do not recognize it's authority.

And in large measure we do not: we have a government by dictat. [ I have a pen I have a phone...]

Whoa! Don't they swear an oath to uphold and defend *the Constitution*?! How could legislators swear to uphold the law, anyway? It's their job to change the law.

I don't think you're correct here.
