Brothers and sisters, I'm thrilled with this good news!
US District Judge Victoria Roberts, unconvinced that the nine members of the Christian "Hutaree" militia were a real threat, ordered them released tomorrow.
Praise the Lord!
You see, here in North Salem, Indiana, we know several members of the Hutaree. They're good, Bible-believing Christian folk, who love Jesus and look forward to making America a Christian Nation.
And just look at this blogger's insightful analysis of Roberts' reasoning!
Of course, Roberts did require that as a condition of release, the Hutaree Nine turn over contact info for all other Hutaree members, and members of militias with which they've associated.
Is it all a trap? Are the Feds gearing up to round up all the Christians and lock us in ObamaCare death camps?

Federal District Judge Victoria Roberts has ruled that the nine members of the so-called Hutaree Militia accused of plotting to wage war against the Regime can be released on bail. Prosecutors had argued that bail should be denied because the group posed a severe danger to public safety.
The Hutaree group is accused of “seditious conspiracy” — specifically, plotting to murder a law enforcement officer and then follow up with opportunistic attacks on other LEOs who would attend the funeral. This would supposedly precipitate a wide-scale revolt.
Conversations discussing that scenario were reported by a federal informant who infiltrated the group and thoughtfully offered to teach them how to make improvised explosive devices.
While federal prosecutors have provided ample evidence that members of the Hutaree are passionately anti-government — what decent person isn’t? — they haven’t been able to demonstrate that the group did anything more than engage in survivalist training and indulge in apocalyptic rhetoric.
Defense attorneys, citing the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1969 Brandenburg v. Ohio decision, maintain that seditious speech — including speech that constitutes an incitement to violence — is protected by the First Amendment as long as it does not indicate an “imminent” threat.
