So, let's turn that around; are we ok with lack of rule of law for this but not sanctuary cities?
I didn't say I support him, I said the left will whine about rule of law. You proved my point.

I am all for nullification of unconstitutional law. That can be the sherriff or the jury or whomever. I don't find immigration law unconstitutional.

Yes he does get to choose. “A Law repugnant to the Constitution is void.” Because the Constitution is “a superior paramount law, unchangeable by ordinary means, . . . a legislative act contrary to the constitution is not law.” More power to him, as well as to others that might/should follow in his footsteps. If a person swears to "uphold and defend the US Constitution", is this not but one way in which to do it?

What immigration laws are defined, or excluded from being valid, by the Constitution?
Sheriffs, LEOs, pols, military swear to support the law not to decide which ones they want to support. I too support getting rid of outdated or wrong laws but they were duly passed in accordance with our form of government so until they are rescinded they should be enforced. Case in point, I support legalization of marijuana but until it is legal the existing laws should be enforced. Laws cannot be ignored because some disagree with them. That is anarchy. I am reminded of the mayor of Balmer's statement to the effect: "they are only destroying property let them have their way."
So, in your opinion then, it is entirely up to the average citizen to take up arms and resist government tyranny. Your opinion is well supported by the writings of the founders...very well supported.

I swore to defend and protect the constitution, and was not required to follow unlawful orders.
Second amendment rights are actually limits on government. That makes gun control laws unconstitutional.

It is good to know that there are still some patriots left in Washington state. 
I read a comment that he said he will make Republic WA a sanctuary city for the 2nd Amend. The irony is awesome! Go, Culp!

"I, [name], do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
The oath is taken to support, and defend, the 'Supreme Law of the Land". The passing of a repugnant law is antithetical to a good and just system. By you saying any law passed that is unconstitutional must be enforced regardless, forces a person to violate their oath in the act of enforcing it and is inconsistent with the meaning of a Constitutional Republic. Anarchy is the result of allowing unconstitutional laws to be enforced because everybody will see the unfairness, the unjustness, revolt against the system and stop following all laws.

A Gainesville, Ga, ordinance makes it illegal to consume fried chicken any way other than by hand.
In Alabama, for example, it's a criminal "offense against public health and morals" to engage in a whole host of activities on Sunday, including playing cards. Shooting, hunting, gaming and racing are also prohibited and carry a fine of $10 to $100. Worse, you could be imprisoned or sentenced to hard labor for no more than three months for any of these "immoral" acts
Maine residents dig their lobsters, black bears and brisk winter mornings. They are not too keen on shysters who sell cars on Sunday.
Under Title 17, Section 3203 of the state code, the sale of cars and other motor vehicles on Sunday is strictly prohibited. Violation of the law is a crime, punishable by up to six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, along with auto dealer license revocation.
When a law is thought to be unconstitutional then it needs to be challenged in the courts, not just ignored by those paid to uphold the law. And for the record, I am a multi-gun owner both self-protection and sporting. And before someone asks if I would give up my guns if they passed a law that says I have to, the answer is no. I am not sworn to uphold the law. I would make a personal choice.

Laws are ignored everyday by law enforcement, why is this law any different to ignore?
If every cop enforced every law they would never get farther than a few miles from the station or barracks.
