Highest Law in the Land

In this book, Jessica Pishko delves into the history and current state of sheriffs in the U.S.

, exposing how some sheriffs have become aligned with far-right movements, including white nationalists and militia groups.

Pishko's research blends investigative reporting, historical analysis, and legal insight to reveal how these 'constitutional sheriffs' claim absolute authority over their jurisdictions, often evading accountability and promoting ideologies opposed to civil rights and democratic principles.
