Bid To Impeach Gay Marriage Judge

[WillParkinson]

(Des Moines, Iowa) Petitions with over 6,000 signatures were delivered to the Iowa legislature Thursday demanding lawmaker impeach a judge who last year struck down a state law limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples.

Social conservative Bill Salier and his organization, Everyday America, say that Polk County Judge Robert Hanson violated the state constitution in his ruling.

Hanson ruled that a state law allowing marriage only between a man and woman violated the constitutional rights of due process and equal protection.

Less than two hours after the the ruling two Des Moines men applied for a marriage license, found a judge to waive the waiting period and were married.

2. They feel so strongly about somebody else's personal life.

Where in the Constitution does it say you only have a right if other people like you?

3. OMFG....how did you miss that part?

It comes right after the clause of the Const that says, "This is a white, male Christian nation."
