Dozens of anti-LGBT activists protested Monday outside the home of the
federal judge who jailed Kim Davis, the Kentucky county clerk who was
held in contempt of court for refusing to issue marriage licenses to
same-sex couples.
The rally outside U.S. District Court Judge David Bunning’s home in Fort
Thomas, Kentucky, was organized by the anti-abortion group Operation
Save America, and protesters carried signs distributed by the
conservative American View group founded by the neo-Confederate
creationist Michael Peroutka.
“You, sir, are the one that’s in contempt of the law,” said the Rev.
Philip “Flip” Benham, head of Operation Save America and father of
would-be reality TV stars David and Jason Benham. “You, sir, are the one
in contempt of God’s court, you’re in contempt of the Constitution of
the United States of America, of the Constitution of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky, and sir, you need to repent.”
“If you don’t repent, we’re going to ask that the sheriff in Grayson
County arrest you for putting this precious little girl into jail,”
Benham added. “It’s wrong.”
Benham and his group have called on the Rowan County sheriff to arrest
the federal judge when he arrives at work Thursday.
“Judge Bunning is in contempt of the Court of Almighty God and the
constitutions of both Kentucky and the United States,” said Benham, who
has been convicted of stalking an abortion provider, in a statement that
included the name of the judge’s street.
Attorneys for Davis, the 49-year-old Rowan County clerk, filed an
emergency motion in federal court asking Gov. Steve Beshear to exempt
her from the requirement to issue marriage licenses.
Police and federal agents stood guard outside the federal judge’s
suburban home as protesters drove up in a truck festooned with
pro-theocracy slogans and carrying signs that warned “the wages of sin
is death — remember 9/11.”
“We’re out here having church in front of the judge’s home,” said Cal
Zastrow, the Michigan-based co-founder of the anti-abortion group
Personhood USA.
The group arrived outside Bunning’s home about 2 p.m. and handed out
fliers accusing the judge of committing a “grievous crime” and asking
supporters to pray for him to repent.

"...in contempt of God's court..."
I wonder when these dimwitted, super christians will start shooting gays
in the name of jesus.
Not as ridiculous as the protests at Darren Wilson's house or
bemoaning the death of another thug like Trayvonn Martin.
The 1st amendment protects protesters, no matter how wrong they are.
My comment was mostly directed at their belief the judge was in contempt of
god's court. That's moronic nonsense.
Just as much rights as you have to mock others beliefs. Will be really
interesting for the judge, if the state laws on marriage are found to be
invalid!
