The military-like faction of the Ron Paul movement, Oathkeeper, led by Stuart Rhodes, a former Ron Paul Congressional staffer, had pledged to protect Kim Davis, that county clerk in Kentucky who refused to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, from any officers who might come to arrest her again, according to their website<\/a>;<\/p>\n

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. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In a phone call with Jackson County, Kentucky, Sheriff Denny Peyman and other local Oath Keepers activists…Rhodes said that the Rowan County sheriff should have blocked U.S. Marshals from detaining Davis, but since neither the sheriff nor the state\u2019s governor will do their \u201cjob\u201d and \u201cintercede\u201d on behalf of Davis, the Oath Keepers will have to do it instead. \u201cAs far as we\u2019re concerned, this is not over,\u201d he said, \u201cand this judge needs to be put on notice that his behavior is not going to be accepted and we\u2019ll be there to stop it and intercede ourselves if we have to. If the sheriff, who should be interceding, is not going to do his job and the governor is not going to do the governor\u2019s job of interceding, then we\u2019ll do it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While I agree that Davis shouldn’t have been jailed, I don’t think the answer is to send a platoon of phonies and pretenders decked out in tacti-cool-gear and Oakleys marching around with scary black guns outwardly threatening LEOs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
