Mike Huckabee: Impeach judge who struck down same-sex marriage ban

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says lawmakers in his home state should impeach a judge who struck down the state’s gay marriage ban, saying the judge ignored the will of voters.

In a blog post on his political action committee website, Huckabee on Sunday criticized Pulaski County Circuit Judge Chris Piazza for finding unconstitutional a 2004 amendment and 1997 state law banning same-sex marriage.

Huckabee wrote that the governor should call a special session to impeach Piazza. A spokesman for the PAC confirmed that Huckabee wrote the post.

Huckabee wrote that if Arkansans want to legalize same-sex marriage, they should put it on the ballot and vote for it.

I'd bet my paycheck that if Huckabee had been around in the 50s and 60s and a judge had struck down a law banning interracial marriage, Huckabee would be calling for that judge's impeachment, as well.

Marriage equality is coming, sooner rather than later, whether homophobes like Huckabee like it or not. I can't wait to laugh in their faces when marriage equality is recognized nationwide.

Sorry Huckabee but the tides are turning and your opinion is becoming increasingly irrelevant.
