Investigating Matthew Trewhella, the Far-Right Wisconsin Pastor — ProPublica

He argues that government officials have a divine "right and duty" to defy any laws, policies or court opinions that violate "the law of God." To him, that means outlawing abortion and same-sex marriage, or even violently resisting the government.
