Mack blasts Malheur area sheriff

The day after a 41-day anti-government standoff ended last week at an Oregon wildlife refuge, former Arizona sheriff Richard Mack rode into rural Harney County and boldly claimed to have a full understanding of the militia takeover of a national wildlife refuge. Without mentioning Harney County Sheriff Dave Ward by name, referring to him as “the local sheriff,” Mack bluntly accused the lawman of failing to do his job by refusing to be an “interposer” between “overly aggressive and corrupt” federal officials and local ranchers Dwight and Steve Hammond, who were sent to prison for setting fire to public land/ Bill Morlin , Southern Poverty Law Center.

Question: What do you think about the notion shared by Richard Mack and other Constitutionalist types who view the sheriff as the supreme law in a given county?
