Don Brockett, former Spokane County prosecuting attorney emailed the following to me in response to the lead item in my Sunday Huckleberries column:

After reading your article about "constitutional sheriffs" in the Sunday paper, I wanted to let you know about a book I have written which with the death of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia may now be even more important for people to read. The book is “The Tyrannical Rule of the US Supreme Court, How the Court has Violated the Constitution” that highlights what the Court has done by some of its decisions and makes suggestions for changes. The book discuses “originalism" and what I call “changeism” and is about how US Supreme Court decisions have affected our lives differently from what our founders intended. Perhaps this is the reason there are organizations such as this forming in our country.

The Court has violated the very Constitution it claims to be interpreting and deprived us of our right to make changes to it by amendment. The book was written for all people interested in how the structure of the federal government, as formed by our founders with three branches to check and balance each other, has been distorted by the third branch of that government – the United States Supreme Court.

Question: Should sheriffs interpret the law as well as enforce it?
