In order to prevent the abuse of power by the government a series of checks and balances established by the founders of our Republic. They created to the Legislative branch which was to write the the laws, an Executive branch which enforce the laws and a Judicial Branch to determine which laws were Constitutional and which ones were not.
At the National level Congress is the Legislative branch, the President is the Executive Branch and the Supreme Court is the Judicial branch. At the state level the Governor is Chief Executive. As the Chief Law enforcement officer in the state he has the authority to judge whether or not a law passed by the state legislature should enforce. If in the opinion of the Governor he enforced an unconstitutional law he would be violating his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution. In other words the Governor can veto legislation that he feels in unconstitutional.
The state legislature has the power to over ride the Fovernor's veto just as Congress has the authority to overe rule the President veto.
At the County level there is clearly a legislative body that is commonly known as the Board of Supervisors or County Commissioners. There is also a judicial branch in each county, but who is the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in each county? It may come as a surprise to most people that the County Sheriff is supposed to be Governor of each county. like the Governor of the State he has veto power over all county legislation that he feels is unconstitutional.
The County Commissioners or Supervisors should have the power to over rule the Sheriff with the consent of two-thirds of their membership/
Today the BAR Association controls the courts and the courts have usurped the power of the County Sheriff. Rather than serving as an indpendent Chief Executive he has been conned in to serving as an officer of the courts.
The County Sheriff was elected by the people to serve the people, but when he takes his marching orders from the Courts he becomes an agent of the courts and not the people.

Very well stated Kieth! And dead on! Anybody who is depending on their Sheriff to protect their lives and property is in for some bitter disappointments!
Keith,
this is another subject that should be in your book. There are a couple typos. 5th paragraph up. you accidentally hit the F instead of the G, and the next line down should read "over rule the President's veto."
Next para. down, need to capitalize the L "Like the Governor."
3rd para. up, I'm not sure what happened. I think you hit the / instead of .
I think everything else looks good.

Everyone who writes literature needs some one to proof read their scripts...For some reason typo's just pop out of the woodwork even though we may have gone over our writings several times not even realizing that "yes" we do have typo's...It's a wierd phenomena...Once a typo has been printed it can never be retracted or corrected...The only thing left to do is to cuss ourselves for the spelling mistakes we made during our own proof readings...Shucky darn!
Keith, I concur with all you said here. That's what the motivation is behind the County and Neighborhood ... People's Boards of Review ... proposed by the folks at All States Organic Initiative, which I highly recommend everyone here look into at ... http://www.asoi.us/ ... and participate in promoting.
The very most egregious offenses against The People are most commonly carried out by local politicians, judges and their private municipal police, inappropriately applying their plunderous revenue statutes, often in brutal and inhumane transgression against the Constitutions and Common Law itself!
How timely you should post this. As I start my long day into freedom fighting, the first thing I do is check my emails. This morning was exceptional. The following is the first I read and then yours Keith. This is great news and has fired me up and inspired me. Sheriff's for THE PEOPLE are out there and are willing to enforce the demands of the PEOPLE they serve. WE must support them as well. Sheriff's are the key and this proves it can and will be done! This is the first domino.....

Agree with what you wrote above. Have recently heard of the Common Law Grand Jury being constituted in each county by electing to reestablish the Peoples Jury.
Very informative website: nationallibertyalliance.org
In the Supreme Court case of United States v. Williams, 112 S.Ct. 1735, 504 U.S. 36, 118 L.Ed.2d 352 (1992), Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the majority, confirmed that the American grand jury is neither part of the judicial, executive nor legislative branches of government, but instead belongs to the people. It is in effect a fourth branch of government "governed" and administered to directly by and on behalf of the American people, and its authority emanates from the Bill of Rights, the acts of the Grand Jury is the consent of the people.
“The grand jury is mentioned in the Bill of Rights, but not in the body of the Constitution. It has not been textually assigned, therefore, to any of the branches described in the first three Articles. It " 'is a constitutional fixture in its own right. In fact the whole theory of its function is that it belongs to no branch of the institutional government, serving as a kind of buffer or referee between the Government and the people”. -- Justice Antonin Scalia
“Thus, citizens have the unbridled right to empanel their own grand juries and present "True Bills" of indictment to a court, which is then required to commence a criminal proceeding. Our Founding Fathers presciently thereby created a "buffer" the people may rely upon for justice, when public officials, including judges, criminally violate the law.” -- Justice Antonin Scalia
“The grand jury is an institution separate from the courts, over whose functioning the courts do not preside, we think it clear that, as a general matter at least, no such "supervisory" judicial authority exists. The "common law" of the Fifth Amendment demands a traditional functioning grand jury.” -- Justice Antonin Scalia
“Although the grand jury normally operates, of course, in the courthouse and under judicial auspices, its institutional relationship with the judicial branch has traditionally been, so to speak, at arm's length. Judges' direct involvement in the functioning of the grand jury has generally been confined to the constitutive one of calling the grand jurors together and administering their oaths of office. The grand jury's functional independence from the judicial branch is evident both in the scope of its power to investigate criminal wrongdoing, and in the manner in which that power is exercised.” -- Justice Antonin Scalia
“The grand jury 'can investigate merely on suspicion that the law is being violated, or even because it wants assurance that it is not.' It need not identify the offender it suspects, or even "the precise nature of the offense" it is investigating. The grand jury requires no authorization from its constituting court to initiate an investigation, nor does the prosecutor require leave of court to seek a grand jury indictment. And in its day-to-day functioning, the grand jury generally operates without the interference of a presiding judge. It swears in its own witnesses and deliberates in total secrecy.” -- Justice Antonin Scalia
“Recognizing this tradition of independence, we have said the 5th Amendment's constitutional guarantee presupposes an investigative body 'acting independently of either prosecuting attorney or judge” -- Justice Antonin Scalia
“Given the grand jury's operational separateness from its constituting court, it should come as no surprise that we have been reluctant to invoke the judicial supervisory power as a basis for prescribing modes of grand jury procedure. Over the years, we have received many requests to exercise supervision over the grand jury's evidence-taking process, but we have refused them all. "it would run counter to the whole history of the grand jury institution" to permit an indictment to be challenged "on the ground that there was incompetent or inadequate evidence before the grand jury." -- Justice Antonin Scalia
Thank you Charlotte! I am administrator in Pinal County AZ for the Common Law Grand Jury and we are getting our filings prepared to present to the courts in 3 other counties, to be done simultaneously. Oh Joy. That is why I was so excited to read the Sheriff in KY arresting the Corrupt officials. They (sheriffs) are key in the enforcement when The Peoples demands/orders are ignored, denied, usurped. AROO!
Thank you Keith and Charlotte,
all of this should be in the book, and I personally am going to use this info.!
We have a very interesting scenario unfolding here in Clark County, NV. January 22, 2014, Sheriff Gillespie goes before the county commission for the fourth time in as many months, to again ask for more tax money to "hire more cops"! Case being, he hasn't "hired more cops" or even replaced those ones lost to attrition, for over 2 years now while building a war chest of over 100 million dollars for God knows what.
Can he override the County Commission or will their ruling stand if the vote not to grant more tax money? I think, with all the shucking and jiving going on in Nevada as well as the USA this could be as questionable as what is going on in Washington, DC.
