I was pretty sure the oath they took when they joined the force kinda was completely centered around protecting the constitution... Am I the only one that took that seriously? Did everyone else just raise their hand and recite the words?
Many officers, and more people in the upper ranks of the military than most like to think about for that matter, treat it like the Hippocratic Oath. An outdated thing that they only swear if they need to but they have no intention to actually follow it.
You need to have morals to actually be willing to follow an oath, and when you reach a certain level of power or are doing anything to achieve that power, those people lack any and all morals. "Anyone that craves power does not deserve it."
Because there are quite a few doctors that don't take it seriously. Those performing abortions and "gender reassignment" surgeries are just blatant examples, but there are plenty that sell out to prescribe certain meds because they'll get kickbacks from pharmaceutical companies depending on how many scripts they write.
You can't honestly say you haven't seen plenty of doctors around you doing harm but they do it regardless. Just because YOU may "do no harm" doesn't mean that others take that oath seriously.
The main reason Sheriffs bow down to the feds is that they will get their federal funding pulled and face expensive lawsuits if they don't comply. We really need to defund the federal government and take back all of the power they have usurped over the past century. It is up to local and state Leaders like this Sheriff to defend the Constitution. It is up to us to apply pressure and support them in those efforts.
We need to back them up with armed citizens when the feds come to arrest them. Sheriffs really need to be the faces of our Constitutional movement, we need people to stand behind so we don't just become "terrorists" and "insurgents" one patriot at a time.
Who are the feds going to arrest? The Sheriff's? They're elected.
They can't arrest them.
The feds will pull their federal funding and open up the Sheriff's to lawsuits that will cripple their offices. With no money, they can't employ deputies. No deputies means no law enforcing. No enforcing and feds likely encouraging shit bags to go to the county to commit crime means the people will turn on the sheriff and recall/vote him out where a more 'pliable' sheriff will take office.

Agreed. For most, it's simply a formality that you do as part of the tradition or process.
As a doctor, why did you pick hippocratic oath? I take my oath very seriously.

Meh. I work in the ER and none or my colleagues are doing any of that shit. I understand your point, however.
