WND ^ | 09/03/2015

GOP president hopeful Sen. Ted Cruz, on Thursday accused U.S. District Judge David Bunning of “judicial tyranny” for jailing a Kentucky county clerk who refused to violate her Christian faith and issue licenses to same-sex couples.

He said those who are calling for her removal from office – she can’t be fired, she can only be impeached if she chooses not to quit – are hypocrites.

“Where is the call for President Obama to resign for ignoring and defying our immigration laws, our welfare reform laws, and even his own Obamacare?” Cruz said. “When the mayor of San Francisco and President Obama resign, then we can talk about Kim Davis.

Senator Cruz is exactly right in his statements.

And more importantly he has the courage to stand up for Christians when they are attacked.

Gov. Jerry Brown of California, when a State Attorney General, refused to enforce Prop. 8 that banned same-sex marriage in California. It was the will of the people and the law. Jerry Brown should have been jailed. He allowed Prop. 8 to be overturned, despite being decided by the majority of people.

Senator Cruz shows integrity in just about everything he says. One thought that keeps popping up in my mind is what would a Muslim be asked of in that situation?

Of course. The “law” carries no weight with leftists wanting to further their agenda. The “law” only exists as a weapon to be utilized against conservatives. It’s become a farce.

Any supposed conservative that demands we remain afixed to this blatantly weighted dice-game is destined to lose. And by lose, I mean ‘everything.’

Tyranny may not a strong enough word.

We are currently treated to the spectacle of high level government officials from virtually every department of the Obama Administration being involved in scandals that involve such horrific abuses of government power that they rise to the level of serious criminal offense.

Many of these officials have used the 5th Amendment right to remain silent regarding the conduct of their official duties as government officials in Congressional oversight hearings.

These official’s criminal abuses of power were so intertwined and so dominated their works tasks that they literally cannot answer ANY questions about what they did on the job tasks given to them by the Obama Administration.

Abuse of government power to weaponize their respective powers of office to destroy Obama Administration political opponents was their full time job in the Obama Administration and they carried out their war on Obama opponents with such zeal that they committed criminal acts.

By their own testimony, ANY discussion of their day to day job function would unavoidably result in making self incriminating statements that could lead to criminal prosecution for their criminal abuses of power against the American people to avoid self incriminating statements.

We have other high level government officials of the Obama Administration openly and defiantly destroying evidence, covering up official misconduct, lying in sworn testimony, willfully withholding and stonewalling the production documents lawfully subpoenaed by Congress Oversight Committees responsible for preventing Executive Branch abuses of power, and pretty much engaging in just about possible means of obstructing justice to to frustrate any investigation of the Obama Administrations multitude scandals regarding serious cases of official misconduct - many of which obviously rise to the level of criminal misconduct.

In the Hillary Clinton case, the criminal activity also may have violated Espionage Laws and severely compromised American National Security

Much of this obstruction of justice is related to willfully and repeatedly refusing to comply with legitimate court orders.

Many of these officials have been held in contempt of court for their stonewalling the production of evidence, literally for years on end, to obstruct justice and cover up criminal behavior of high level government officials committed in the conduct of their official job roles for the Obama Administration.

To date, not one Obama Administration officials has been sanctioned by even the most mild of judicial penalties for their obstruction of justice. In fact, there has been not one action taken by Congress to even try to enforce the Contempt rulings, much lass punish the perpetrator.

And these officials are arrogantly flashing the middle finger at Congressional Oversight Committees and daring Congress to try to force them stop their stonewalling and obstruction of justice with no consequence what so ever.

In contrast, we see lower level Elected Official from the State of Kentucky who refuses to comply with a court order from a Federal Judge to issue Marriage Licenses to Homosexuals in contravention to existing Kentucky Statute Law explicitly stating that marriage licenses only be granted a union of one man and one woman.

As Kim Davis was leaving court after being and within minutes of being declared in contempt by the judge, she met at the other side of the courtroom door by Federal Marshals who had stood by the door waiting for her to exit the courtroom to arrest her.

She was immediately placed under arrest by these Federal Marshals and was handcuffed and literally placed in chains despite the fact there was no indiction she posed no threat to anyone.

Mrs Davis was then submitted to humiliating, media photo op and highly public “Perp Walk” in chain's that included ankle chains that made it as difficult and uncomfortable to make said perp walk, and led off to the Paddy Wagon taking to Federal Prison.

All that was missing was the orange jump suit.

Mrs Davis will be held in Federal Prison for contempt for an indefinite period until such time as the unpleasantness her incarceration at Club Fed coerces her to se the light and recant her refusal and orders her subordinates to begin to issue marriage license to Homosexual couples.

The Judge could not have used any more severe or extreme exercise of the full force and authority of the Federal Government against an individual, nor could one envision a swifter execution of government coercion than being arrested and publicly put in chains immediately upon exiting the threshold of the Judges Court Room.

What has been done to Mrs Davis qualifies a much more than simple tyranny and is accurately described by the term “Reign of Terror”.

And make no mistake, what was done to Mrs Davis was not done to her alone - it was done to all of us Americans.

The Obama Administration wanted to make an example of Kim Davis to the American people and thus brought upon this woman the full force of the United States Government.

The message being sent to the American people is that our Federal Government will punish anyone who does not agree and opposes the fundamental changes to American society being put in by it's current leadership will be dealt with and punished harshly.

The Obama Administrations trying to terrify and intimidate any who oppose it's final 18 month push to impose it's agenda upon the American people to keep them from actively working to oppose the Obama Agenda.

The Supreme Court's ruling on Homosexual Marriage is a decision that has no basis in law and it's ill conceived over reach has created a foundation for disastrous set of unintended down stream consequences that will have profound negative impact on issues that have little or nothing to do with marriage that use the Supreme Court Homosexual Marriage ruling as a precedent.

The Kim Davis horror show highlights the danger to personal freedom and liberty inherent to the Supreme Court decision.

America owes Kim Davis a profound debt of gratitude because she is sacrificing herself to demonstrate to the American people exactly the kind of tyranny the hidden consequences of Supreme Court decision on Homosexual Marriage will impose on the American people.

The response by the Obama Administration and the rest of our Political Elites in Washington in the Davis case clearly reveals to the American people the extent to which the increasing lawless Obama Administration is willing to abuse the awesome and almost unlimited power of the Federal Government to impose it's agenda on the American people.

The Davis case also provides insight into the desperation and terrifying level of resolve of the Obama Administration to use what ever means or exercise of power and intimidation necessary to impose the fundamental changes in American society on their agenda in the time that remains to it before they must leave office and must surrender their power.

The Obama Administration has just raised the stakes and taken America to Show Trial stage of the road to the imposition of tyranny.

If history repeats, the next and final stages in the process are not a far stretch from where the Obama Administration is taking our country

Get ready folks, the next two years are going to be a wild ride.

The phrase to utter and repeat should be “The judge wouldn’t have moved so fast if that had been Hillary.”

I lit CNN Twitter up with what Cruz is saying ... this morning bright and early... before Cruz came out with this statement. I mean I LIT them up. I’m still getting hate mail. I pounded the fact that they (a bunch of homos) who were celebrating that she was imprisoned, were hypocrites. I pounded it home. Compared them to Jimmy Swaggert. LOL.... Glad to see Cruz articulating that position.
