Trent Franks Thinks Obama Should Be Impeached Over DOMA

How is this for layers of irony? Rep. Trent Franks appeared on the G. Gordon Liddy Show complaining about the executive branch not following laws. G. Gordon Liddy. My head is about to explode.

I've said before that Trent Franks will never be confused as one of the great thinkers in Congress, but this doesn't smack of stupidity so much as opportunism.

(I)n the right’s furor over the administration’s announcement that it will not defend the constitutionality of Section 3 of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) is calling for Obama to be impeached. After the Arizona Republican advocated defunding the Department of Justice if it does not defend Section 3 of DOMA – “I would support that in a moment,” remarked Franks – he went on to say that he would “absolutely” favor impeaching President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder if such a move “could gain collective support”

Franks is just falling behind Presidential wannabe Newt Gingrich and Rep. Steve King (who is calling for Holder's resignation).

1. No slight intended;

However, my gaydar goes off on this guy. DOMA? It would save this war hawk's ass if he had the balls to enlist.

On another note, he looks sort of 'foreign' to me. Has anyone checked his birth certificate?

2. He DOES make you wonder, no?

I hope he's one of the start-up big-wigs in the looming Arizona secession. Which can't happen too soon, for my liking!
