TPM:
A panel of the Montana Supreme Courtâs Commission on Practice recommended that Rhodes be disbarred in an Oct. 26 filing. âŚ
Rhodes did not respond to a request for comment by TPM on Thursday. It was also unclear what the next step is for Rhodes.
Iâm betting Rhodes next step includes some sort of March On The Montana Supreme Courtâs Commission on Practice, composed of gun-wielding open carry sociopaths who donât intend to be intimidating at all, but are merely expressing their Constitutional Rights.

I guess I donât know what sedition isâŚat what level is sedition deemed illegal? Can Oath Keepers be investigated? Do we have to let these folks scare us into submission? oh, the many, and varied questions about fake patriots, and real enemiesâŚ

Odd isnât it? The Oath-Keepers, the TEA party, the birthers, all starting up in 2009. Hmm, I wonder what possible event involving a person of color might have set them off?
Anyone? Anyone? Bueler?

Obviously, the Montana Supreme Court is occupied by a bunch of un-American heathens, and no one should follow any laws in Montana.
Or so they say.

He should change the name to Oaf Creepers, just to comply with the truth in advertising law.

He needs a white horse, a mask and a trusty Native American companion. Maybe then heâll be taken seriously by the courts.

If there was a large armed organization that behaved like these people do that had a leftist agenda, there would have been martial law and mass internment camps during the Bush years and, even now, an unrelenting campaign by local governments to arrest, try and imprison the members for any reason they could come up with. The FBI would have infiltrated the shit out of them and would have been offering them PATRIOT bait like it was on sale. And, of course, if theyâd been black leftists, SWAT raids galore that all somehow ended in blood.

Montana justice is less grizzly-bear-focused than I assumed.

Well, OK, but isnât this kind of story a little like doing legitimate news on the Mad Hatterâs Tea Party?

He should be disbarred for having cheated on the bar exam in the first place. Given his demonstrable lack of understanding of U.S. law, he couldnât possibly have passed the bar exam honestly.
And Yale Law should demand that he return his diploma, for the same reason.

I would have thought founding the Oath Keepers alone would have been enough to get a lawyer disbarred. A lawyer founding an organization that promotes disregarding laws rather than taking such cases to the court system does not seem compatible with being a participant in that court system.
Practicing law in a state where he isnât licensed to practice is just icing on the cake.

Those Oath Keepers sure like to break a lot of oaths.

Iâd take that bet.
Montanaâs relatively sparsely populated, and whatâs there in the way of folks like Rhodes tend mostly to live in isolated communities, akin to living in much of neighboring Idaho & (so Iâm told) a lot of Appalachia. An effort to assemble what you envision, to descend on one of the few larger populated areas, is bound to attract a whole lot of law enforcement notice. And the SOP then would be something akin to how western state LEOs historically have treated bikers & other outlaw groups, which is pull 'em all over for checks on ID, licenses for their transport & firearms, &, most effectively (because itâs so damn predictable that theyâll be present in comically absurd numbers), outstanding arrest warrants.
The national press in particular really sites up take notice & then tries to justify their coverage of this assholes by imputing way too much meaning in loose (not say disordered, but that too) assemblies of a few dozen Oath Keepers or Patriots gunning their Harleys within earshot of wherever Cliven Bundyâs holding court. But thatâs pretty much all they do, make a lot of noise & show off their guns & ammo (tho mostly not theyâre lawyers) before they get bored or have to return to their jobs ite or shift work or families or whatever mundane ties of civvie life theyâre playing at escaping from. And itâs in their disordered nature that actually PLANNING something like a Bizarro World civil rights-ish protest march or sit-in is beyond their capacity to sustain. Theyâll show up en masse at a major truck stop to meet in the IHOP, and from there they start to dissemble.
Iâd more expect that Rhodes will brush off this disbarment process as just an extension of how heâs already brushed off the bar committee now for months maybe years.

The âOath Queefersâ are an embarrassment to veterans everywhere. The only oath they keep is a promise to act like damned dunces with guns and scummy wussies who hide behind pseudo-cool phrases like âwarrior mindsetâŚâ The echo chamber of like minded gun humping loons with whom they surround themselves has made them deaf to human decency. And their âfounderâ is a prime example of a well schooled lunatic who has found a ranting troop of drooling howler monkeys to follow his seditious idiocy.
