United Constitutional Patriots trigger Democrats by handing illegal immigrants to Border Patrol

Just days after Border Patrol apprehended 1,800 illegal immigrants in one day, the government of New Mexico and the ACLU are criticizing a citizen group patrolling the border.

“It should go without saying that regular citizens have no authority to arrest or detain anyone,” New Mexico’s Democrat Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham told the New York Times.

She also said it’s “completely unacceptable” that migrant families “might be menaced or threatened in any way, shape or form when they arrive at our border.”

Meanwhile, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of New Mexico sent a letter to Governor Grisham and Attorney General Hector Balderas on Thursday asking for the group of patriots voluntarily patrolling the border to be investigated.

Below is an excerpt of the letter in which they call the group, United Constitutional Patriots (UCP), “white nationalists” and “fascists.”

“Two nights ago, on April 16, 2019, an armed fascist militia organization describing itself as the United Constitutional Patriots arrested nearly three hundred people seeking safety in the United States, including young children, near Sunland Park, New Mexico. Other videos appear to show arrests in the past few hours.[1] The vigilante members of the organization, including Jim Benvie, who posted videos and photographs[2] of the unlawful arrests to social media, are not police or law enforcement and they have no authority under New Mexico or federal law to detain or arrest migrants in the United States. Their actions undermine the legitimate efforts of our state’s law enforcement officials to keep New Mexico families safe and they erode community trust. The Trump administration’s vile racism has emboldened white nationalists and fascists to flagrantly violate the law. This has no place in our state: we cannot allow racist and armed vigilantes to kidnap and detain people seeking asylum. We urge you to immediately investigate this atrocious and unlawful conduct.”

New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas bashed the group in a statement, saying, “These individuals should not attempt to exercise authority reserved for law enforcement.”

A spokesperson for the civilian group, Jim Benvie, said the detention of illegals amounts to “a verbal citizen’s arrest,” which is basically a bluff used to stop border crossers until Border Patrol arrives.

“We’re just here to support the Border Patrol and show the public the reality of the border,” Benvie insisted, adding, “Border Patrol has never asked us to stand down.”

Infowars has covered UCP multiple times this week after they caught a group of over 300 illegals Tuesday night and another group of more than 90 on Wednesday.

Patriot border patroller Conservative Anthony will join The War Room Friday at 4:30 P.M. CST for an exclusive interview where he’ll discuss the latest footage he’s captured, including over 70 buses arriving at the border and a “lookout” drone used by smugglers.

At the 26:45 timestamp in the following video, a drone can be seen monitoring the border to ensure the illegals safe entry into the U.S. as they try to avoid Border Patrol or citizen patrols.

“Lookout” drones are frequently used to assist smugglers who sneak illegal immigrants into the country.

At the 26:30 timestamp, the next video shows what is reported to be a caravan of over 70 buses arriving into Anapra, Mexico in the middle of the night.

While the government of New Mexico has its scope set on United Constitutional Patriots, the group vows to patrol the border until President Trump’s wall is built.

POLICE STATE NEW JERSEY: A GLARING EXAMPLE OF WHY GUN OWNERS SHOULD NEVER COMPLY

POLICE STATE NEW JERSEY: A GLARING EXAMPLE OF WHY GUN OWNERS SHOULD NEVER COMPLY

New Jersey – -(AmmoLand.com)- We will not comply.

Let’s take a look at standard magazine compliance rates in America.

In New Jersey, there are no examples of any law-abiding resident turning in magazines since the law went into effect on 12/10/18, not a one. We have seen the same in Connecticut and New York with less than 3% compliance rates in each state respectively.

The people have had enough; what we are seeing is a phenomenon of law-abiding citizens exercising an undertow of civil disobedience. People are now at a point where these laws that do absolutely nothing to lower crime but only make law abiding citizens criminals have had enough.

The so-called “high-capacity” magazine ban reversal in California last week, re-legalizing those same mags, also gives more hope and resolve that the tide is turning for us and is a gleaming example of why no gun owner should ever comply with laws infringing on the Second Amendment, ever.

It is still a significant risk to possess standard capacity magazines since mere possession in NJ with no firearm present and no other crime being committed is always a class three felony with 18 months in prison per magazine with a minimum $10,000 fine. Tens of thousands of people are taking this risk. [some of us are risking life sentences and millions in fines and lawyers fees.]

Lawmakers should note that even though they pound their chests and say “at least we are doing something” they are doing nothing to lower crime. But in fact, they are slowly bringing more average law-abiding citizens to our side for the fight as more and more and made into criminals.

Many more useless laws are coming, and soon a flashpoint will set the entire scheme on fire. You can only subvert peoples rights so much before they strike back.

Stay educated and spread the word. What happens in NJ doesn’t stay in NJ.

COUNTY SHERIFF TAKES OATH SERIOUSLY, VOWS ZERO ENFORCEMENT OF NEWLY PASSED GUN CONTROLS

 

 COUNTY SHERIFF TAKES OATH SERIOUSLY, VOWS ZERO ENFORCEMENT OF NEWLY PASSED 

GUN CONTROLS

 Police Chief Loren Culp of Republic, Washington, says 

the gun controls in the newly passed Initiative 1639 

will not be enforced in his county.

On September 25, 2018, Breitbart News reported that I-1639 would put in place enhanced background checks for the purchase of semiautomatic rifles, would place a ten-day wait on completion of a semiautomatic rifle sale, and would require purchasers to pass a gun safety course. The initiative also contained new gun storage laws for every type of firearm, including penalties for gun owners whose guns were stolen and used in crimes, among other things.
Chief Culp reacted to the passage of I-1639 by reminding Republic residents that the Second Amendment will reign supreme under his leadership:

Republic Police WA

I’ve talked with quite a few concerned citizens today so let me clear something up.

I’ve taken 3 public oaths, one in the US Army and Two as a police officer. All of them included upholding and defending the Constitution of the United States of America.

The second amendment says the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

As long as I am Chief of Police, no Republic Police Officer will infringe on a citizens right to keep and Bear Arms, PERIOD! – Chief Culp

 In an interview with KXLY, Culp added, “We took an oath to uphold and defend the constitution of the United States and the constitution of the State of Washington, and [I-1639] completely flies in the face of both the U.S. and state constitution.”

Culp said he believes I-1639 will “eventually … be overturned in the courts.” Until then, he made clear, the controls of the initiative will not be enforced in Republic, Washington.

HUNGARIAN PM ORBAN: "EUROPE IS NOT FREE. BECAUSE FREEDOM BEGINS WITH SPEAKING THE TRUTH"

HUNGARIAN PM ORBAN: 

"EUROPE IS NOT FREE. BECAUSE FREEDOM BEGINS WITH SPEAKING THE TRUTH" 

BY ROBERT SPENCER

SEE: http://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/03/hungarian-pm-europe-is-not-free-because-freedom-begins-with-speaking-the-truth; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

This is a historic speech. Viktor Orban is a champion of freedom amid the enveloping darkness. “We must therefore drag the ancient virtue of courage out from under the silt of oblivion. First of all we must put steel in our spines.” Luminous and lapidary words shining like a spotlight out of the gloom.

Here is the complete translation of Victor Orban’s speech (via The Rebel):

The destiny of the Hungarians has become intertwined with that of Europe’s nations and has grown to be so much a part of the union that today not a single people — including the Hungarian people — can be free if Europe is not free.

And today Europe is as fragile, weak and sickly as “a flower being eaten away by a hidden worm.” Today, 168 years after the great Wars of Independence of the European peoples, Europe, our common home is not free!

Ladies and Gentlemen, Europe is not free. Because freedom begins with speaking the truth.

Today in Europe it is forbidden to speak the truth.

Even if it is made of silk, a muzzle is a muzzle.

It is forbidden to say that those arriving are not refugees, but that Europe is threatened by migration.

It is forbidden to say that tens of millions are ready to set out in our direction.

It is forbidden to say that immigration brings crime and terror to our countries.

It is forbidden to point out that the masses arriving from other civilizations endanger our way of life, our culture, our customs and our Christian traditions.

It is forbidden to point out that those who arrived earlier have already built up their own new, separate world for themselves, with its own laws and ideals, which is forcing apart the thousand-year-old structure of Europe.

It is forbidden to point out that this is not an accidental and unintentional chain of consequences, but a pre-planned and orchestrated operation; a mass of people directed towards us.

It is forbidden to say that in Brussels they are concocting schemes to transport foreigners here as quickly as possible and to settle them here among us.

It is forbidden to point out that the purpose of settling people here is to reshape the religious and cultural landscape of Europe, and to re-engineer its ethnic foundations — thereby eliminating the last barrier to internationalism: the nation-states.

It is forbidden to say that Brussels is now stealthily devouring more and more slices of our national sovereignty, and that in Brussels many are now making a plan for a United States of Europe — for which no one has ever given authorisation.

Ladies and Gentlemen,Today’s enemies of freedom are cut from a different cloth than the royal and imperial rulers of old, or those who ran the Soviet system; they use a different set of tools to force us into submission.

Today they do not imprison us, they do not transport us to concentration camps, and they do not send in tanks to occupy countries loyal to freedom.

Today the international media’s artillery bombardments, denunciations, threats and blackmail are enough — or rather, have been enough so far.

The peoples of Europe are slowly awakening, they are regrouping, and will soon regain ground.

Europe’s beams that rest on the suppression of truth are creaking and cracking.

The peoples of Europe may have finally understood that their future is at stake:

Now not only are their prosperity, cosy lives, jobs at stake, but our very security and the peaceful order of our lives are menaced as well.

At last, the peoples of Europe, who have been slumbering in abundance and prosperity, have understood that the principles of life that Europe has been built on are in mortal danger.

Europe is the community of Christian, free, and independent nations; equality of men and women; fair competition and solidarity; pride and humility; justice and mercy.

This time the danger is not attacking us the way wars and natural disasters do, suddenly pulling the rug from under our feet.

Mass migration is a slow stream of water persistently eroding the shores.

It is masquerading as a humanitarian cause, but its true nature is the occupation of territory.

And what is gaining territory for them is losing territory for us.

Flocks of obsessed human rights defenders feel the overwhelming urge to reprimand us and to make allegations against us.

Allegedly we are hostile xenophobes, but the truth is that the history of our nation is also one of inclusion. and the history of intertwining of cultures.

Those who have sought to come here as new family members, as allies, or as displaced persons fearing for their lives have been let in to make a new home for themselves.

But those who have come here with the intention of changing our country, shaping our nation in their own image, those who have come with violence and against our will — have always been met with resistance.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

At first, they talk about only a few hundred, a thousand or two thousand relocated people.

But not a single responsible European leader would dare to swear under oath that this couple of thousand will not eventually increase to tens or hundreds of thousands.

If we want to halt this mass migration, first we must curb Brussels.

The main danger to Europe’s future does not come from those who want to come here, but from Brussels’ fanatical internationalism.

We should not allow Brussels to place itself above the law.

We shall not allow it to force upon us the bitter fruit of its cosmopolitan immigration policy.

We shall not import to Hungary crime, terrorism, homophobia and synagogue-burning anti-Semitism.

There shall be no urban districts beyond the reach of the law, there shall be no mass disorder.

No immigrant riots here, and there shall be no gangs hunting down our women and daughters.

We shall not allow others to tell us whom we can let into our home and country, whom we will live alongside, and with whom we will share our country.

We know how these things go. First we allow them to tell us whom we must take in, then they force us to serve foreigners in our own country.

In the end we find ourselves being told to pack up and leave our own land.

Therefore we reject the forced resettlement scheme, and we shall tolerate neither blackmail, nor threats.

The time has come to ring the warning bell. The time has come for opposition and resistance.

The time has come to gather allies to us. The time has come to raise the flag of proud nations.

The time has come to prevent the destruction of Europe, and to save the future of Europe.

To this end, regardless of party affiliation, we call on every citizen of Hungary to unite, and we call on every European nation to unite.

The leaders and citizens of Europe must no longer live in two separate worlds. We must restore the unity of Europe. We the peoples of Europe cannot be free individually if we are not free together.

If we unite our forces, we shall succeed; if we pull in different directions, we shall fail.

Together we are strength, disunited we are weakness. Either together, or not at all — today this is the law.

Hungarians, In 1848 it was written in the book of fate that nothing could be done against the Habsburg Empire. If we had then resigned ourselves to that outcome, our fate would have been sealed, and the German sea would have swallowed up the Hungarians.

In 1956 it was written in the book of fate that we were to remain an occupied and sovietized country, until patriotism was extinguished in the very last Hungarian.

If then we had resigned ourselves to that outcome, our fate would have been sealed, and the Soviet sea would have swallowed up the Hungarians.

Today it is written in the book of fate that hidden, faceless world powers will eliminate everything that is unique, autonomous, age-old and national.

They will blend cultures, religions and populations, until our many-faceted and proud Europe will finally become bloodless and docile.

And if we resign ourselves to this outcome, our fate will be sealed, and we will be swallowed up in the enormous belly of the United States of Europe.

The task which awaits the Hungarian people, the nations of Central Europe and the other European nations which have not yet lost all common sense is to defeat, rewrite and transform the fate intended for us.

We Hungarians and Poles know how to do this. We have been taught that one can only look danger in the face if one is brave enough.

We must therefore drag the ancient virtue of courage out from under the silt of oblivion.

First of all we must put steel in our spines, and we must answer clearly, with a voice loud enough to be heard far and wide, the foremost, the single most important question determining our fate:

The question upon which the future of Europe stands or falls is this:

“Shall we be slaves or men set free — That is the question, answer me!”

Go for it Hungary, go for it Hungarians!

WOMAN JAILED FOR REFUSING FEDERAL ORDER TO COMMIT PERJURY UNDER DURESS

Doreen Hendrickson-Michigan-A Patriot's Allocution

Published on Apr 15, 2015

The allocution of Doreen Hendrickson of Michigan, detailing the crimes against her First and Fifth Amendment rights involved in the charges against her and in her subsequent trials, read for the camera by Katie Hendrickson.

WOMAN JAILED FOR REFUSING FEDERAL ORDER TO COMMIT PERJURY 

SEE: http://the-trumpet-online.com/woman-jailed-for-refusing-federal-order-to-commit-perjury/; republished below in full unedited for informational, educational, and research purposes:

When a federal court and the federal government ordered Doreen Hendrickson to sign a form under penalty of perjury that she believed to be inaccurate, the mother of two initially refused to comply.

Eventually, she obeyed but noted that the sworn statement was being made under duress.

Now, because of that decision, she is sitting behind bars for “contempt of court.”

A federal appeal is being considered in what sources called an “unprecedented” case, with arguments from both sides presented last month.

The case’s has broad implications for free speech and due process.

Hendrickson’s saga officially began in 2006, when the Internal Revenue Service claimed that refunds it had issued to her years earlier were mistakes, according to the family and official documents reviewed by WND.

In 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice went much further, asking a federal court to sign an order purporting to force Hendrickson to repudiate her previous tax returns and sign new ones.

However, she was never even accused by the government of tax evasion or filing false returns, much less convicted.

The DOJ, however, wanted her to replace her original returns – signed under penalty of perjury – with new documents in which the content would be dictated by the IRS, also signed under penalty of perjury. They flew in prosecutor Melissa Siskind from Washington to pursue the case.

Hendrickson believed the information dictated by the IRS was incorrect, so she could not sign it without an explanatory note pointing out that it was made under duress, she explained.

Indeed, no U.S. government official was willing to swear under penalty of perjury that he believed what the government wanted Hendrickson to swear she believed.

Because the new return would also have to be signed under penalty of perjury, had Hendrickson complied without indicating the coercion, she would have essentially admitted to perjuring herself on the original return.

The dispute has observers and legal experts baffled.

“I can’t say in 30 year[s] of practicing law that I’ve ever seen anything like this,” Hendrickson’s appellate attorney, Mark Cedrone, told WND over the phone.

The case

In short, the federal government put Hendrickson in a Catch 22 situation and appears to have violated constitutional protections enshrined in the Bill of Rights, including the First and Fifth amendments.

Fundamental free speech rights and due process are at issue in the case.

In what observers and attorneys believe is unprecedented in American history, federal prosecutors sought to compel a person not only to speak, but to affirm under penalty of perjury the truthfulness of something the person did not believe to be true, all to advance the government’s desired narrative in court.

The Justice Department did not respond to repeated requests by phone and email for information from WND.

Husband Pete Hendrickson, however, told WND the government was trying to coerce his wife into committing perjury, using threats, in a manner that would financially benefit the government.

“Further, Doreen was ordered to conceal the fact that the false testimony was coerced,” he said. “She was ordered to render it in such a fashion that anyone seeing it would conclude that the testimony was entirely Doreen’s freely made of her own accord and representing what she really believes [to be] true.”

In what her husband called “ironic” and “chilling,” the indictment against his wife for refusing to say what the DOJ wanted her to say came at almost the same time as the Supreme Court ruled yet again that the First Amendment “prevents the government from telling people what they must say.”

In the summer of 2013, federal agents took her to a federal facility in downtown Detroit on an indictment of “contempt of court” for refusing to go along with the demand.

“I don’t want my kids to grow up in a world where they’re afraid to say what’s true, because the government wants them to say something different,” Doreen Hendrickson says in a video posted online. “That isn’t any way to live.”

When she still refused to comply with the court order instructing her to sign the declaration without reservations noting the coercion, she was convicted of “contempt of court” and sentenced to 18 months in prison.

She could go back for more time if she does not comply with what the Hendricksons contend are illegal orders upon release late this year.

The first trial ended in a hung jury after Hendrickson was allowed to read Supreme Court rulings about speech rights. But in the second, she was prevented from doing so, and the government was successful in securing a conviction.

In the trials, the judge instructed the jury, “properly” according to the federal government’s appellate brief, that the legality of ordering Hendrickson to sign something she did not believe to be true was not at issue.

Pete Hendrickson, outraged, blasted the “co-conspiring judge” and the controversial instructions given to the jury, which are an important element of the appeal.

“This is utterly offensive to the constitutional protections of speech and conscience, and of due process, which provides that anyone in a legal contest with another party – even when that other party is the United States [government] – is entitled to make their own claims, to argue their own facts, and is under no circumstances obliged to endorse the views of their opponent,” he said.

“The assault on Doreen Hendrickson is an assault on every American,” Pete Hendrickson told WND. “What’s being done to this good woman undermines the very rule of law which is the only thing keeping us from arbitrary and despotic government.

“No one can be told what to say by the government,” he continued, “and especially not what to say she believes true.”

The First Amendment “says this in as plain a way as it can be said,” Pete Hendrickson said, adding that “the amendment means what it says,” as “has been endlessly stated by the U.S. Supreme Court and all other courts of every kind throughout the country and throughout our history.”

“This is perhaps the most well-settled point in American legal history,” he added, referring to speech rights.

In her statement before sentencing denouncing the “illegal” schemes of the government and the court, Doreen Hendrickson lashed out at the prosecutor for her “lies” and lambasted the “criminal” process used to secure her conviction.

“No one, not even the government, gets to preemptively evade the contest or control its outcome by taking, or being given, control of what its opponents say – even if it really thinks what is being said or might be said is wrong,” she told the court. “Both sides must rely on the strength of their own arguments to overcome those of their opponent, and are prohibited from using strong-arm tactics against each other. In fact, efforts to secure favorable testimony in such a contest by threats or coercion are crimes.”

Hendrickson also noted that she expected to prevail upon appeal and outlined the reasons why.

A book on the ‘witch trial’

Observers who witnessed the trial also expressed outrage over what they saw and contend that Hendrickson was railroaded in a sham proceeding that was rigged from the start.

Brian Wright, a longtime liberty activist who attended the trial, was so moved by the “travesty” he observed in the trial that he decided to write a book, “The Motor City Witchcraft Trial(s),” outlining alleged abuses behind the case.

“I knew from day one – from the blatant, self-righteous hostility of the judge, from her constant badgering of Doreen, from the assignment of an incompetent legal aide to supposedly help Doreen with her case, from the manner of the prosecution’s presentation of their ‘case’, from instructions to the jury, from the open collaboration of the judge with the prosecution, and later from obvious judicial tampering with the jury – that the fix was in,” Wright told WND.

“This was not a court of law, but a tribunal of Soviet-style justice: guilty regardless of anything,” he added.

He said the case was not a tax case but rather a case of whether government and the courts can compel a person to commit perjury and attest to something she or he believes is false, “such as whether she’s a witch.”

The abuses were so serious, Wright continued, that there should have been a grand jury investigation to “indict all these government officials for the crime of suborning perjury.”

The order given to Hendrickson to “perjure” herself was clearly unlawful, Wright argued. However, he recalled the judge in the case demanding, including to the jury in the instructions, that the most crucial issue not be discussed.

“Clearly, justice requires that Doreen be released, her record expunged and that she receive restitution for the crime of false imprisonment,” the author and activist said.

He also called for all officials involved in the “crime of suborning Doreen’s perjury” to be indicted, convicted and imprisoned for their “heinous act of violence.”

The reason? Tax book, critics say

The reason the federal government was so adamant in pursuing Doreen Hendrickson, according to sources who spoke with WND, centers on a book written by Pete Hendrickson called “Cracking the Code.”

The book claims it can show readers how to legally avoid paying income taxes in some cases.

WND has not reviewed the book nor its arguments. But in court documents seen by WND, including the government’s appellate brief, the federal government says it rejects the “frivolous” “theory.”

Still, for reasons that remain unclear and officially unexplained, Doreen Hendrickson was never charged with filing a false return, tax evasion, lying on her tax filings or anything similar.

Instead, the only charge was not obeying a court order to sign the revised form with content dictated by the IRS.

The Hendricksons, along with many of their supporters, contend that the government went after Doreen Hendrickson primarily in a ham-handed effort to discredit the claims in the book, retaliate against those making the claims and deter future cases based on those arguments.

“This entire affair is an effort to discredit my book,” said Pete Hendrickson, adding that many Americans had successfully used the arguments he advances and posted the evidence of success online.

The federal government has sought to stop Pete Hendrickson, unsuccessfully so far, in court.

In her statements to the court prior to sentencing, Doreen Hendrickson chastised the judge and prosecutors, saying their real agenda was to “chill” the free speech of Americans.

“Everyone in this room knows the government’s call to [U.S. District Judge] Nancy Edmunds to issue her orders to me was wrong and lawless – as are the orders themselves – and that the pretense of a legitimate government interest in chilling the free expression of other Americans was even more broadly and darkly criminal,” Doreen Hendrickson said. “It does not speak well of Nancy Edmunds that she didn’t refer [government agent] Mr. Metcalfe for prosecution upon being presented with his demand and its revealing justifications.”

Blasting the government’s argument that she be sentenced harshly as a “deterrent” to others as “demented, un-American and Constitution-defying,” the Doreen Hendrickson said it could not be a deterrent to “resisting government-requested orders from a court dictating what they must say they believe to be true and correct.”

“No such orders have ever been issued to anyone in American history before this was done to my husband and me, and none have never been issued since,” she continued, noting that that was not surprising, considering that such orders are “illegal.”

“Therefore, what the government must mean is to deter other Americans from testifying freely and honestly on their own tax forms, or anywhere else they are asked or expected to say what they believe to be true and correct, or have a need to make claims on their own behalf or assert and defend their interests in a legal contest,” she continued. “Thus, the government’s call for a harsh sentence is a call upon this court to use a sentence upon me to commit a crime against the speech, conscience and due process rights of other Americans – indeed, all Americans.”

A family devastated, seeking justice

For Katie Hendrickson, Doreen Hendrickson’s 24-year-old daughter, the whole experience was traumatic and shocking.

“I’ve seen corruption in government through many lenses, professional and personal alike,” she told WND. “At my jobs, I saw it more from a distance, it being an ethereal thing that went bump in the night, with no real form or head, just a mammoth to battle. In the government’s various battles with my parents, however, I’ve seen the corruption up close and personal, in but a few of its many forms and bodies, face-to-face. I’ve seen what weapons the status quo will use to defend itself against all attacks, even if those attacks come by way of truths revealed.”

Katie said it was hard to face the reality that “our” government is willing to “lie and cheat” to protect its own interests, even at the expense of law-abiding citizens.

It is especially difficult to see the dark times Americans are living in for “a relatively idealistic person like me,” she continued.

“My mother is in prison for refusing to lie in order to allow the government to cheat,” she said.

But the suffering goes far beyond just what has happened to Doreen Hendrickson, Katie said, noting the imprisonment has “worn on all of us.”

“People have a tendency to think that someone being imprisoned affects the prisoner most of all, but I would counter that the punishment, while different, is equal,” she said. “You see, the prisoner is kept confined and monitored, and often mistreated, and of course, that’s painful for them. But the family left behind, waiting for them to come home, suffers through constant reminders that things are not what they should be, that something is wrong.”

When asked what she hopes will come out of the ordeal, her answer was simple.

“Honestly, I hope for justice,” she said.

“I want the American people to be made aware of what their money has supported, and for them to realize how wrong it is, and for them to act on that realization and take a stand against the government’s stubborn protection of its own assets, no matter the cost,” Katie continued. “What’s been done to my family, wrongful imprisonment for refusing to support corruption, is an outrage. I want simply for those responsible to be held accountable and tried for any crimes they’ve committed in pursuit of this end, and for justice to be carried out accordingly.”

“That’s all I want: justice,” she concluded.

Appeal process

The Hendrickson case is currently in the appeals process, with arguments having been heard last month.

The defense argued, among other points, that the trial court failed to properly instruct the jury concerning critical issues.

Also at issue is Doreen Hendrickson’s First Amendment right to say what she believes, the appellate brief contends.

Finally, the manner in which the case was charged and prosecuted was defective, according to the defense.

Love him or hate him, Dinesh D’Souza is already an American legend, and you can get his bestselling films and books direct from WND!

“Today Doreen Hendrickson sits in a federal prison for having the temerity to disagree with the government and expressing her disagreement,” Doreen Hendrickson’s attorney for the appeals process, Cedrone, told WND.

“As required under the court order for which she stands convicted of violating, on two occasions, Mrs. Hendrickson submitted amended tax returns,” he explained. “In doing so, she reported as income earnings that she truly believes are not properly subject to tax. Since tax returns require one to affirm her subjective belief of the accuracy of the recorded information, Mrs. Hendrickson qualified her filings by stating her disagreement with the compelled characterization of certain items as income.

“No one disputes that Mrs. Hendrickson believe[s] what she claims to believe,” Cedrone added. “Instead, our constitutional government has unilaterally decided that her good efforts to comply with a court order are simply not good enough because she expressed her sincerely held view that the items she was required to declare as income are not income.

“This represents a shameful abuse of public authority,” the attorney added.

QUOTES: David Bunning was raised Roman Catholic, graduated in 1984 from Newport Central Catholic High School, and his mother said his faith is still important to him.

“He’s a great guy,” his mother Mary Bunning said. “He loves the Lord. He loves family. What else more can you expect of a young man?” “David is an honest person,” Mary Bunning said. “He doesn’t agree with the Supreme Court but has to obey the law.”

TYRANNICAL STATEMENT:

“Personal opinions, including my own, are not relevant to today,” Bunning, a federal district judge, told Davis and the courtroom Thursday. “The idea of natural law superseding this court’s authority would be a dangerous precedent indeed.”

"Allowing Kim Davis, who previously has said she is an Apostolic Christian, to defy a court order could create a ripple effect among other county clerks, Bunning said. Two other clerks in the state — Casey Davis in Casey County and Kay Schwartz in Whitley County — also had stopped issuing marriage licenses but have not had lawsuits filed against them."

""Her good-faith belief is simply not a viable defense," said Bunning, who said he also has deeply held religious beliefs. "Oaths mean things.""

DAVIS: “And if I left, resigned or chose to retire, I would have no voice for God’s word," calling herself a vessel that the Lord has chosen for this time and place.

“She is not a martyr. No one created a martyr today," Laura Landenwich said. "Kim Davis had two opportunities to comply with the law, and she chose not to.”

Bunning agreed and said fines for Kim Davis, who makes $80,000 a year, would not be enough to ensure that she would follow his orders. He also raised concerns that supporters would pay any fine he levied, dampening its force.

"I don't do this lightly," he said of his decision to jail her. "It's necessary in this case."

Timeline of dissent

Soon after the Supreme Court ruled to allow gays to marry, Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis decided to stop offering any marriage licenses through her office.

• June 26. Supreme Court rules 5-4 that states must recognize and allow same-sex marriage. Later that Friday, Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear directs county clerks to comply.

• June 29. Davis declines to issue marriage licenses on Monday, saying the new law of the land conflicts with her religious beliefs.

• July 2. American Civil Liberties Union sues Davis and Rowan County on behalf of four couples, two gay and two straight.

• July 8. Some county clerks ask for a special session of the Kentucky Legislature to pass a bill to accommodate those who have religious reasons for not issuing the licenses. Beshear says no, in part because of the expense.

• Aug. 12. U.S. District Judge David Bunning says Davis must issue licenses to same-sex couples.

• Aug. 27. The U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals declines to grant Davis a stay of Bunning's decision.

• Sept. 1. The Supreme Court refuses to grant Davis a stay.

Kim Davis stands firm on same-sex marriage; the Kentucky clerk stays in jail

Published on Sep 3, 2015

Rowan County, Kentucky, clerk Kim Davis was given a second chance: She didn't have to issue same-sex marriage licenses herself; she merely had to agree not to interfere with five deputy clerks who had told the federal judge they'd issue them in her stead.

But Davis' lawyer told U.S. District Judge David Bunning that his client would not allow her deputies to issue the licenses. Davis was not in the courtroom for the second session. She was in a hallway outside.

"We cannot represent to the court that she would allow licenses to be issued," attorney Mat Staver said.

Staver later told CNN's "The Lead with Jake Tapper" that Davis would issue licenses if her name and title were not on them.

"Because that in her understanding and mind is authorizing something that is contrary to her Christian values and convictions," he said. "That's where the conscience rub is."

Earlier Thursday, Bunning remanded Davis into the custody of U.S. marshals for refusing to heed a U.S. Supreme Court order legalizing same-sex marriage, saying she would remain in jail until she complies with the ruling.

Bunning then asked Davis' six deputy clerks whether they would issue the licenses, and despite some of them holding the same religious beliefs as Davis, five told Bunning they would issue the licenses. The sixth -- Davis' son, Nathan -- didn't answer.

Gov. Steve Beshear said the judge's decision "speaks for itself."

"The future of the Rowan County Clerk continues to be a matter between her and the courts. Deputy clerks have said they will commence issuing marriage licenses beginning (Friday)," he said. "It appears that the citizens of Rowan County will now have access to all the services from the clerk's office to which they are entitled."

The governor said he had no authority to use an executive order to relieve a county clerk of his or her duty.

Bunning's resume highlight: His father is a U.S. senator

By Patrick Crowley
The Cincinnati Enquirer

        When it comes to becoming a federal judge, who you know can be as important as what you know.

        Take the case of Northern Kentucky's David Bunning, an assistant U.S. Attorney in Covington nominated by President Bush as a federal judge for the Eastern District of Kentucky.

        Mr. Bunning, 35, is younger by at least 13 years than the average age of 945 federal judges appointed since 1976. He was rated “not qualified” by the American Bar Association's judiciary committee, which determined that Mr. Bunning doesn't have the experience to serve as federal judge.

        Last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee — which must vote on his nomination — he was criticized for attending an unprestigious law school and compiling an unimpressive academic record while there.

        But Mr. Bunning has something that could outweigh all the negative comments made about his nomination — a father who is a U.S. Senator.

        Sen. Jim Bunning, a Southgate Republican, recommended that President Bush nominate the youngest of his nine children for the federal judgeship in Covington being vacated by the retiring William Bertelsman.

        When David Bunning was nominated by the president in August, Jim Bunning, 70, a member of Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame, said his son “perfectly fit the model that the president has said he wants to follow in filing judicial vacancies — competent, qualified individuals who will firmly apply the law, and who will interpret the Constitution, not try to rewrite it.”

        Legal experts who study the federal judiciary say connectionsare at least as important, if not more, than credentials when it comes to the appointments. And that can be a problem for candidates who may be qualified, but are from groups — the African-American community, recent immigrant communities, women — that historically have fewer connections in high places.

        “It's a political process,” said Washington lawyer Judah Best, who sat on the ABA's judiciary committee during the 1990s. “More likely than not he or she is nominated because of a friend, a relative, a friend of a relative or a political connection.”

        Sheldon Goldman, a professor of political science at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and the author of six books on the federal court system, said the most qualified candidates are often passed over.

        “There are minimum qualifications, and from what I gather Bunning has that,” Mr. Goldman said. “But, "is he the best-qualified?' is obviously very debatable.

        “It never hurts to have friends in high places.”

        In many states — including New York, Wisconsin and California — nominating commissions appointed by legislatures or other state officials screen and recommend potential federal bench nominees.

        But Kentucky and Ohio still operate on a sort of political patronage. When it came time to seek federal judge recommendations, Mr. Bush — a Republican — went to Sen. Bunning and Kentucky's other Senator, Louisville Republican Mitch McConnell, who chaired Mr. Bush's 2000 election campaign in Kentucky.

        Along with David Bunning, Kentucky's senators recommended two other high-profile Kentucky lawyers:

        • Karen Caldwell, 45, a former U.S. Attorney who helped oversee BOPTROT, an early 1990s federal probe into public corruption at the Kentucky statehouse. She once dated Mr. McConnell.

        • Danny Reeves, 44. He once represented Covington-based Ashland Oil, one of Kentucky's largest corporations, and is a partner at the Lexington office of Greenbaum, Doll & McDonald.

        Mr. Reeves and Ms. Caldwell have been approved, sailing through the confirmation hearing in November with little questioning.

        The number of women and minorities increased during President Bill Clinton's terms.

        Mr. Goldman found that 17.4 percent of Mr. Clinton's appointees were African-American, compared to 6.8 percent for George Bush and 2.1 percent for Ronald Reagan.

        For women, those numbers are 28.5 percent for Mr. Clinton, 19.6 percent for Mr. Bush and 8.3 percent for Mr. Reagan.

        Cincinnati lawyer Ken Lawson, an African-American, said he knows David Bunning and believes he's qualified for the federal bench. But Mr. Lawson would like to see more minorities considered for federal appointments.

        “Definitely there needs to be more consideration, especially when we know that a good portion of the defendants that stand before the bar in federal court are African-American,” he said.

        Connections may have played a role in President Clinton's 1995 appointment of lawyer Susan Dlott to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in Cincinnati.

        Ms. Dlott's husband, attorney Stan Chesley, raised millions of dollars over the years for Mr. Clinton, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party.

        And it is not unprecedented for a U.S. Senator to have a son up for a federal appointment.

        Strom Thurmond Jr., the 29-year-old son of U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond, R-S.C., has been nominated to serve as a federal prosecutor in South Carolina. His appointment is awaiting a vote by the full Senate.

        But the case for Mr. Bunning has been tougher to make.

        At 35, Mr. Bunning is 14 years younger than the average age of federal judges appointed by Presidents Clinton and Carter and 13 years younger than those tapped by Presidents George Bush and Ronald Reagan, according to research Mr. Goldman published in the March-April edition of Judicature, a journal printed by the Chicago-based American Judicature Society.

        He was rated unqualified for the job by an American Bar Association (ABA) committee that studied his career, experience and education, making Mr. Bunning the only one of Mr. Bush's 64 judicial nominees to be so ranked.

        With 10 years as an attorney — all of it spent prosecuting cases in federal court — Mr. Bunning falls short of the 12 years experience the ABA says is needed to be considered qualified for the lifetime appointment, which comes with a $142,000-a-year salary.

        In testimony last week before the Senate Judiciary Committee, ABA committee member David Weiner said Mr. Bunning compiled an unimpressive “middle-of-the-class law school record” at the University of Kentucky.

        U.S. News and World Report magazine ranks UK's law school at 50th in the country, tying it with the University of Cincinnati's law school.

        “It is a combination of average academics, limited civil experience, repetitious and routine criminal matters, writings which — in my words — "just do the job,' serious doubts by respected members of the bench and bar and no intellectual spark or legal enthusiasm that carry the day for our committee,” Mr. Weiner, a lawyer from Cleveland, told the Senate panel during Mr. Bunning's Dec. 10 confirmation hearing.

        But the ABA apparently did not feel as strongly about Mr. Bunning's lack of qualifications as Mr. Weiner did. It asked a second lawyer, Mr. Best, to conduct another investigation into Mr. Bunning's background because of a split on the ABA's Judiciary Committee over his qualifications.

        “He stands above the crowd,” Mr. Best told the committee, adding that Mr. Bunning is qualified for the appointment.

        Mr. Best said complaints about nepotism and concerns raised over Mr. Bunning's education and experience were “background chatter” mainly fueled by resentment that a Senator's son landed the coveted appointment.

        And the unqualified rating from the ABA hardly dooms federal judge nominees. According to the ABA, since 1981 five nominees have been rated unqualified — three were appointed, one died and one withdrew.

        In the area of education, Mr. Bunning was criticized for graduating from UK's law school.

        But research by Mr. Goldman found that only 20 percent of President Clinton's federal judge appointees attended a “prestigious” Ivy League law school.

        “If we add ... such prestigious schools as Berkeley, Chicago, Duke, Georgetown, Michigan, New York University, Stanford, Texas, Vanderbilt and Virginia, the proportion of Clinton appointees with a prestige legal education rises to about 38 percent,” Mr. Goldman said. “The figure for the Bush appointees ... was 34 percent.”

TED CRUZ DEFENDS KIM DAVIS

Imprisoned Kentucky County Clerk Rejects Proposal to Let Deputies Issue ‘Gay Marriage’ Licenses

SEE: http://the-trumpet-online.com/imprisoned-kentucky-county-clerk-rejects-proposal-let-deputies-issue-gay-marriage-licenses/;

ASHLAND, Ky. — The Kentucky county clerk who was ordered to serve time behind bars until she agrees to issue marriage licenses to homosexuals has rejected a proposal to allow her deputy clerks perform the duty instead.

Hours after she was taken into custody and transported to Carter County Jail, attorneys for Rowan County clerk Kim Davis said that she would not authorize her deputies to issue the licenses under her authority. The proposal had been offered as a compromise to release Davis from jail.

The six deputies under Davis appeared before U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning this afternoon, and while most showed reluctance to issue the licenses, five out of six ultimately told the court they would do so. The lone voice of resistance was Davis’ son, Nathan, who said it was not possible for him to participate because of his Christian identity.

However, some of those who agreed to sign the paperwork questioned whether or not they even had legal authority to issue the licenses without the authorization of the clerk. Davis’ attorneys also expressed doubt over whether such a move would be legal.

Bunning, a Roman Catholic, said homosexuals would have to take that risk, and stated that he would release Davis from jail if her deputy clerks issued the licenses instead. However, he said that he would not release Davis forthrightly because of his concern that she would put a stop to it and the matter would again be back before the courts.

As previously reported, Bunning, appointed to the bench by then-president George W. Bush, declared Davis in contempt of court this morning after she explained in tears that it is not possible for her to comply with the order because of her Christianity.

“My conscience will not allow it,” she said. “God’s moral law convicts me and conflicts with my duties.

While the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) had requested that Davis be heavily fined until she bends, Bunning told the court that a monetary punishment would not be enough to force her to obey, and expressed concern that supporters would help pay her fine.

“I don’t do this lightly,” he said. “It’s necessary in this case.”

Davis was then taken into custody by U.S. marshals and led out of the courthouse.

“Thank you, judge,” she stated as she was being escorted from the room.

“I’ve weighed the cost and I’m prepared to go to jail. I sure am,” Davis told Fox reporter Todd Starnes on Wednesday. “This has never been a gay or lesbian issue for me. This is about upholding the word of God. This is a Heaven or Hell issue for me and for every other Christian that believes. This is a fight worth fighting.”

Davis said that you can’t separate a person from their Christianity—it’s who they are and how they live.

“I don’t leave my conscience and my Christian soul out in my vehicle and come in here and pretend to be something I’m not,” she stated. “It’s easy to talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?”

Davis became a Christian in 2011 after living apart from Christ in a sinful lifestyle that resulted in several divorces. She said in a statement earlier this week that it was her mother-in-law’s dying wish that she attend church, which led to her repentance and faith in Christ. Davis states that those who are now criticizing her are welcome to repent of their sin and be born again just as she did four years ago.

“All I can say to them is if they have a sordid past like what I had, they too can receive the cleansing and renewing, and they can start a fresh life and they can be different,” Davis told Starnes. “They don’t have to remain in their sin. There’s hope for tomorrow.”
