TESTING THE FAITH
OATH KEEPERS DISPATCH TO DEFEND KIM DAVIS
Vigilante group vows to 'protect' marriage clerk from feds

The Oath Keepers, a patriotic-minded grouping of individuals with military and law-enforcement ties who stand fast against unconstitutional orders, have activated to Kentucky, to defend clerk Kim Davis from any unauthorized detainment by the law.
Stewart Rhodes, founder of the organization, said in a statement: “We believe the federal District Court Judge David Bunning grossly overstepped his bounds and violated Mrs. Davis’ due process rights and in particular, her right to a jury trial. This judge has assumed unto himself not just the powers of all three branches of government, but has also taken on the powers of judge, jury and ‘executioner.’ … The judge is violating the Constitution in his anger and desire to punish her for going against his will.”
Rhodes then referred to the “imperial presidency” America is experiencing under President Obama and the expanded war powers of the White House office that began under former President George W. Bush and intensified in recent years, particularly through the “unlawful combatant” tag the executive can place on any American.
“Now we see the rise of an imperial judiciary that not only legislates from the bench but is attempting to expand their “contempt” power to likewise swallow up our Bill of Rights and circumvent jury trial,” he said, in a written statement on the Oath Keepers’ website. “Both methods are used to allow the powerful office holder to merely point his finger and have his opponent thrown behind bars without a grand jury indictment and without being found guilty by a jury of their peers.”
Rhodes then said the end result “is a dictatorship, whether done by a president or by a judge.”
He wrapped: “No one man should have that kind of power in his hands alone to decide guilt and impose a sentence of indefinite detention. Under our Constitution, that dictatorial power does not exist. We must stand against this. And so we will protect her and prevent it from happening again.”
Talking Points Memo reported the group was planning to picket Bunning’s home and their overall intent was to help Davis withstand any U.S. Marshals Service attempt to take the clerk, who spent five days in jail for refusing to issue same-sex marriage certificates, back into custody.
Oath Keepers reported its members have been on the ground in Rowan County for over a week, and vow they will “continue to have a presence.” Rhodes, meanwhile, has been in contact with attorneys who are defending Davis and has offered them support, “to ensure she will not be illegally detained again,” the Oath Keepers reported.
