LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says lawmakers in his home state should impeach a judge who struck down the states 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 thought he faded away. Guess I was wrong.

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.
