     That's welcome news, because our Maricopa County sheriff Joe Arpaio in AZ has gone wild and lawless.  Like Bush, he thinks he's above the law. :(

                      Wyoming sheriffs put Feds in their place. 
       
        
       Here's one the mainstream media isn't going to tell you: County  sheriffs in Wyoming are demanding that federal agents actually abide  by the Constitution, or face arrest. Even better, a U.S. District  Court agreed according to the Keene Free Press:
       
        The court decision was the result of a suit against both the BATF  and the IRS by Mattis and other members of the WyomingSheriff's  Association. The suit in the Wyoming federal court district sought  restoration of the protections Constitution and the Wyoming Constitution.
       
        Guess what? The District Court ruled in favor of the sheriffs. In  fact, they stated,Wyoming is a sovereign state and the duly elected  sheriff of a county is the highest law enforcement official within a  county and has law enforcement powers exceeding that of any other  state or federal official." Go back and re-read this quote. The court confirms and asserts that "the duly elected sheriff of a  county is the highest law enforcement official within a county and  has law enforcement powers EXCEEDING that of any other state OR  federal official." And you thought the 10th Amendment was dead and  buried — not in Wyoming, not yet.Bighorn County Sheriff Dave Mattis  comments:
       
        "If a sheriff doesn't want the Feds in his county he has the  constitutional right and power to keep them out, or ask them to  leave, or retain them in custody." "I am reacting in response to the actions of federal employees who  have attempted to deprive citizens of my county of their privacy,  their liberty, and their property without regard to constitutional  safeguards. I hope that more sheriffs all across America will join  us in protecting their citizens from the illegal activities of the  IRS, EPA, BATF,FBI, or any other federal agency that is operating  outside the confines of constitutional law. Employees of the IRS and  the EPA are no longer welcome in Bighorn County unless they intend  to operate in conformance to constitutional law."The implications  are huge:
       
        But it gets even better. Since the judge stated that the sheriff  "has law enforcement powers EXCEEDING that of any other state OR  federal official," the Wyoming sheriffs are flexing their muscles.  They are demanding access to all BATF files. 
       Why? So as to verify  that the agency is not violating provisions of Wyoming law that  prohibits the registration of firearms or the keeping of a registry  of firearm owners. This would be wrong.
        
        The sheriffs are also demanding that federal agencies immediately  cease the seizure of private property and the impoundment of private  bank accounts without regard to due process in Wyoming state courts.
       
        This case is not just some amusing mountain melodrama. This is a BIG  deal. This case is yet further evidence that the 10th Amendment is  not yet totally dead, or in a complete decay in the United States. 
       
        It is also significant in that it can, may, and hopefully will be  interpreted to mean that "political subdivisions of a State are  included within the meaning of the amendment, or that the powers  exercised by a sheriff are an extension of those common law powers  which the 10th Amendment explicitly reserves to the People, if they  are not granted to the federal government or specifically prohibited  to the States."
