Missouri Republicans Advance Effort To Impeach Gov. Nixon Over Same-Sex Tax Returns

[okaawhatever]

The Missouri House Judiciary Committee will hold hearings Wednesday on three articles of impeachment proposed by House Republicans against Gov. Jay Nixon (D).

State Rep. Nick Marshall (R) is attempting to impeach Nixon for a November 2013 executive order that required the Missouri Department of Revenue to accept joint federal income tax returns from same-sex couples who were married legally in other states. Marshall argues that the governor's action violates the state constitution’s 2004 amendment that banned same-sex unions.

One of seven Republican co-sponsors of Marshall’s measure, state Rep. Mike Moon, filed a separate article seeking to remove the governor for not filling vacant legislative seats quickly enough.

The third attempt to oust Nixon is being advanced by state Rep. Rick Brattin (R), who claims the governor did not adequately punish officials at the state Department of Public Safety for releasing the names of more than 163,000 Missourians with concealed weapons permits to a Social Security Administration agent last year.

1. The right lives off of hate and nothing else, well fear too

How we can continue to tolerate people who long ago lost their right to live in this great nation, I dont know.

3. And paranoia

Lots and lots of paranoia.

4. The republican party has managed to gather all of the wackos under one

tent. There was a time when the republican party had some good ideas and added balance to the country, but that was a long long time ago. Now, all the republican party wants to contribute is perverse hatred. They really need a new name and just outright brand themselves "The Party of Hatred!" It's hard to come up with anything the republican party does not hate, other than their their sheer enjoyment of persecuting others.

5. Bob Dole I think was saying something like this recently

He of course cant say it that way, but about how radical they are.

Obama was elected 8 yrs too early, Hillary first for 8 yrs would have tired out the haters, they would have hated her just as much for being a woman and by the time Obama was elected in 2016 the white haters would be tired and almost gone.

7. Yep, good points! I think, just thinking, that many Americans are just getting fed up with

all of the hatred from the republican party. It's tiring, boring and totally unproductive. And, they NEVER seem to have any decent solutions to anything, than falling back on hatred, discrimination and harming someone, some group as best they can. Eisenhower, for example, would not even be considered as a candidate these days. Frankly, most republicans when they speak today sound utterly stupid, unintelligent and grossly lacking in knowledge.

8. They are proud of their hate and ignorance, but also

Realize they do believe Obama is a socialist or commie, even though the Koch Bros have doubled their fortune while he has been Prez

So their brains are literally full of not a single true fact abut anything important, and they believe their lies with the same aggression and faith that we believe the truth.

It is a very bad situation.

2. There are some pretty gross republicans in MO that love to persecute people, and a fair

number of haters, they just gotta have something to hate, it gives them a pseudo-sexual thrill.

6. I swear - is this all they know how to do?

Start screeching "Impeachment!!!!" every time there's a Democrat in high office - presumably "in their way"?

9. To be a middle class American voting republican

you have to have some serious brain damage, propaganda has a way of permanently harming your brain...
