Tentherism, Constitutional Sheriffs and Oath Keepers
The rise of "Tentherism"—a movement emphasizing the 10th Amendment—has led to a focus on the legal authority of elected sheriffs versus federal agents. Critics associate this movement with the Oath Keepers, alleging that these law enforcement officers hold paranoid views about federal overreach and disarmament.
County Sheriffs, Constitutional Authority, Tenth Amendment
Former Sheriff Richard Mack discussed the constitutional power of county sheriffs on Thom Hartmann's program, arguing they are the highest law enforcement officials because they are directly elected. The debate centers on the Tenth Amendment versus the Supremacy Clause and the hierarchy of federal agencies like the FBI compared to local sheriffs. The hosts explore the overlapping jurisdictions of sheriffs and city police in various states.
