Prog Stupid – CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Flunks Constitution 101 – Tells Sheriff He Must Obey Obama Executive Order…

"Seem's the ole Wolfmeister must have been out of school the day they taught "The Constitution". Forgot to ask someone who follows the Constitution there, Wolfie. I think what
Wolfie meant to say is, "Since I obey everything Hussein tells me, why wouldn't the nation's sheriffs do the same?" And to think he's a member of a political "THINK TANK". Is that the funniest thing you ever heard. You must excuse Wolfie, because, he is a dumbass. What else would you expect from a moron like Wolf ? You can always count on Wolfie to give the wrong answer time and time again. It's like why he totally bombed out on his Jeopardy appearance. "Misinformed media hacks for one hundred Alex" was the only answer he knew.  I think he just likes to hear himself talk. It doesn't matter to him if he knows what he is talking about. Hey Wolf, I wish Hussein would issue an executive order on gun-control.We could get this ball rolling and see which states & counties will abide by it. But you know what, I don't think he's got the nerve to try, because he's a coward. Red states would tell the POS to shove those executive orders up his Commie ass. Looks like Wolf Blitzkrieg loves his totalitarianism like the rest of the MSM hacks.. This explains why Wolf is not a journalist. I think we should boycott CNN's shows until their ratings drop to near zero. Oops, looks like that's already been happening." MC

Discussing gun control, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer on Friday told a Utah sheriff that if Barack Obama issues an executive order, that order is the law and the sheriff must obey.

However, jurisprudence on this topic reveals exactly the opposite.

As the head of the executive branch of the federal government, a president can issue executive orders only to employees of the federal government—and only regarding implementing federal laws or programs. A governor can likewise issue executive orders to employees of his state government regarding the laws or programs of that state.

Every sheriff is a county officer, elected by the voters of that county. The Supreme Court held in Printz v. U.S. in 1997 that the Tenth Amendment forbids the federal government from ever ordering any state or local official to carry out a federal program. Ironically, that case also involved a sheriff—Jay Printz of Montana—and a federal gun control law.
