Ever county in Indiana should follow suite.

Well, that's kinda what secession looks like.

Federal laws aren't "null and void" just because they differ - or are even polar opposite - from state laws.

They are if they are the polar opposite of "... shall not be infringed."

Well, here in the US of A, the SCOTUS (ultimately) gets to decide whether laws are "null and void"... not individual counties.

yeah, unfortunately the dems will pack the courts with activist liberal judges ASAP.

It's also kinda what freedom looks like.

I’ve heard of Bigfoot too but never seen him with my own eyes.

Yes - very different thing than local elected official nullification of federal laws.

Maybe you'll get your chance.......

I think there's a middle ground.

I have no problem with a local official (sheriff/mayor/etc.) saying that, as an act of executive discretion, they will not enforce or assist in the enforcement of a federal law. (Or even a state law, but that's an even different issue.)

At that point, it is a political decision. If the local constituency approves, they will re-elect. If not, they won't.

To JTscribe's point, the refusal to enforce is an act of civil disobedience and can be honorable.

Threatening to arrest LEOs for enforcing laws that one doesn't agree with is VERY different. That's an act of hostility.

You might want to research up. The Indiana constitution specifically calls for jury nullification.

 

[T.Lex]

I don't know how close it is to "jury nullification" but my (relatively informed) opinion is that Indiana juries reach the right result FAR more often than not.

I see it’s in the constitution but in reality the judicial branch has decided they don’t give a damn about the constitution. Kinda ironic huh?

Have you had a jury walk a defendant because the law is full of crap?
