From an Oath Keeper's blog:

"Such time is at hand again." It's scary to me that so many people believe this.
"...swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution..." One would assume that means the WHOLE Constitution. According to the Constitution itself it is the Supreme Court that is the final arbiter of what the Constitution means and their rulings become the law of the land. So, the Oath Keepers should, if they are serious about supporting and defending the Constitution, uphold what the Supreme Court says even if they do not agree with a particular ruling that it gives. From the same blog site they say this, "Accordingly, we oppose any and all further infringements on the right of the people to keep and bear arms. In particular we oppose a renewal of the misnamed “assault-weapons” ban or the enactment of H.R. 45 (which would register and track gun owners like convicted pedophiles)." So if the Supreme Court has or does rule that assault-weapons bans or enactment of H.R. 45 are Constitutional, will they uphold the Constitution (which says the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of the meaning of the Constitution itself) by enforcing such laws? If not, then they, as the cliche goes, would be taking the law into their own hands - law enforcement officers taking the law into their own hands.

"The time is now near at hand which must probably determine, whether Americans are to be, Freemen, or Slaves; whether they are to have any property they can call their own; whether their Houses, and Farms, are to be pillaged and destroyed, and they consigned to a State of Wretchedness from which no human efforts will probably deliver them. The fate of unborn Millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this army" - Gen. George Washington, to his troops before the battle of Long Island
Such a time is near at hand again. The fate of unborn millions will now depend, under God, on the Courage and Conduct of this Army - and this Marine Corps, This Air Force, This Navy and the National Guard units of these sovereign states.
Oath Keepers is a non-partisan association of currently serving military, reserves, National Guard, peace officers, and veterans who swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic … and meant it.
Our oath is to the Constitution, not to the politicians, and that oath will be kept. We won’t “just follow orders."
