The Deschutes County sheriff would decide whether any local, state or federal gun law is unconstitutional under the measure’s broader interpretations of those rights. And if the sheriff thinks a law is unconstitutional, the measure would forbid the county from enforcing it. Individual violations could result in a fine of up to $2,000. [More]Do you really want to give that kind of power to one man?
A trial judge can nullify a jury’s guilty verdict, but cannot overturn a not-guilty verdict. How is this different? This man does not get to make new law, he gets to nullify existing law. Well, so do I.

If the blackmrobed pirates in the judiciary would obey the Constitution there would not be talk like this. Not sure how having a sheriff decide unconstitutional vs constitutional is worse than having a judge do so. At least a sheriff is answerable to the voters. Many judges once appointed are there for life with zero accountability to anyone.
