6:14Now PlayingThe Constitutional Sheriffs movement relies on a belief that county sheriffs have the power - and the duty - to make their own determinations about which laws to enforce and how to enforce them. It's not just enforcing laws and following the constitution - it also involves resisting laws, nullifying and refusing to enforce laws that a sheriff has deemed somehow unconstitutional. Whether used to oppose mask mandates or gun restrictions, voting laws or immigration policy, the so-called “constitutional sheriff” movement is an overt abuse of power. There is no constitutional basis to back up their theory of sheriff supremacy, first of all. But it’s also a sign of something bigger. It’s a twisted interpretation of the constitution in order to assume power and subvert the systems of our democracy.
