Bills to fire elected officials

Defy the feds (peace be upon them), and you will be fired.

Obviously aimed at Oathkeepers, as well as recent sheriffs saying they won't enforce any new fed gun laws.

Never mind the fact that the federal government doesn't have any oversight over county law enforcement such as sheriffs.

Sure, they can ARREST them for violation of federal laws.

But they can't FIRE them or depose them of their elected seat.  Any more than a county sheriff can depose the POTUS.

A cost-free, ineffective feel-good play to demonstrate fealty to our Federal Betters.  The bill's author will be able to cash in the chit for national support in the next career move.

The first effort emerged in Texas. Legislation proposed by Dallas Democratic Rep. Yvonne Davis would remove any sheriff or law enforcement officer who refuses to enforce state or federal laws.

Huh.  What if the feds made it legal to hang people for running a red light.  Would she feel the same then?

Or better yet, remove a President who refuses to enforce immigration law.....

This is not going to end up being about legal wrangling.  You know that.   One side says "I'm the boss," the other says, "Boss of what?"
