Reminds me of that jerk on the overpass aiming his gun at federal agents who wanted to arrest Cliven Bundy.
Oath Keepers Send Armed Guards To Protect Kim Davis From US Marshals
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Thursday, 9/10/2015 11:40 am
The Oath Keepers, the anti-government Patriot group that mounted an armed standoff with the Bureau of Land Management at the Bundy Ranch, stationed armed guards outside of military recruitment centers after the Chattanooga shooting, and unsettled Ferguson protestors when they showed up carrying assault rifles, is now offering anti-gay Kentucky clerk Kim Davis a security detail to protect her from further arrest if she continues to defy the Supreme Courts marriage equality ruling. Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes announced yesterday that he had reached out to Davis lawyers at Liberty Counsel to offer the protection of his group, which he says is already forming a presence in Rowan County, Kentucky, where Davis was recently released from jail after prohibiting her office from issuing marriage licenses. Rhodes said in a statement that his position has nothing to do with gay marriage, but rather his conviction that Davis had been illegally detained by the federal judge who held her in contempt for violating multiple court orders.

I have a bad feeling about this.

And, uh, sarcasm, for the impaired.

Given the procedural posture of the various suits, she is going to be making a number of voluntary appearances in court anyway.
Any time these people choose to yet again demonstrate their outstanding stupidity looks good to me.
