Oath Keepers Sheriff Wants To Arrest Judge Who Jailed Kim Davis

Source: Right Wing Watch/People for the American Way



One of the organizers on the ground for the Oath Keepers’ short-lived Kim Davis mission was Denny Peyman, a former sheriff of Jackson County, Kentucky, and member of the “constitutional sheriffs” movement, which believes that county sheriffs are the nation’s highest law enforcement officers and therefore have the power to unilaterally arrest federal officials.

In an interview with the far-right radio program Liberty Roundtable , Peyman said that if he had been sheriff when Davis was found in contempt of court for defying court orders to issue marriage licenses, he would have blocked U.S. Marshals from arresting Davis and would have instead personally arrested the judge who found her in contempt.

“I would have loved for that to happen when I was in office,” he said. “It would have been a completely different scenario would have come out of this whole thing.” “Yeah, Denny Peyman would have bust out and arrested that judge for violating due process, huh?” asked Sam Bushman, the program’s host.

“Exactly,” Peyman responded. “The judges all take care of each other. I’ve turned in enough evidence and stuff and all they do is seal it and make sure it doesn’t get back out. They take care of each other. When I arrested the judge here and stuff, they basically protected him, because they could be next and they know that.”

Arrest him. Take his toys away. Sentence him to passing a high school civics/government exam.

The charge is "kidnapping a federal official." Convicted sheriffs don't do too well in prison, son.

group of "Promise Keepers"-- men who believe they are the "kings" of their households, and they have the right to rape their wives whenever they like, as it's their wives' "duty. . . ."

Yeah, I know people like that. . . And they disgust me-- all of them.

Any attempt to do so in actuality would have resulted in a federal marshal killing him.

They did not try to perform a Gomer and do a citizen's arrest on any of them.

The federal authorities let the Bundy bunch slide because it really wasn't worth it.

Taking a federal judge into custody, without proper authorization, seems to constitute "worth it" for the feds to take action.

Not that i don't agree. Of course, in this case the people shot would actually have been armed.

But, the feds probably considered them gadflies, not a real threat. Actually laying hands on an officer of the court goes beyond acting tough and threatening.

The feds would have dropped him like a bag of dirt.

But it's the armed people that kept their stuff. The unarmed get their shit stolen. No Federal agent is willing to die to take some cows, or make sure a judgment is paid.

It smells like decomposing brain cells. These low-wattage intellects are SO desperate for some drama in their dreary double-wide lives that they invent absurdly implausible scenarios in which they can play hero. And the belief that laws don't apply to them is an indicator of a sociopathic personality. Just back away slowly...

It seems to me these oath keepers really hate the United States of America. They don't really see the U.S Constitution/ United States of America as something they should live by.
