And Then They Invoked Code Duello.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because flambe.

So, the law of the lesser magistrate...

Okay, this is a thing. In Calvinist theology. During the early years of the Reformation, where members of the Reformed Church were trying to explain how they had a right to avoid getting arrested by kings, emperors and the like for being Calvinists. It is not an actual legal doctrine that gives random sheriffs the right to arrest federal agents because. Of course, these sorts of arguments started getting very popular in some circles during the late 1960s for obvious reasons, producing the Posse Comitatus movement and similar sovereign citizen groups. The point of such arguments is to produce folk magic disguised as law while insisting this nonsense is a return to tradition, instead of the ridiculous farce that it is.
