Off the Deep End......AFA calls for the impeachment of Judge Walker




http://afa.net/Detail.aspx?id=2147497248



Time to impeach Judge Vaughn Walker
Contact your representative today and urge him to start impeachment proceedings

August 5, 2010


Yesterday (August 4), U.S. District Chief Judge Vaughn Walker single-handedly overturned California's Prop. 8, which elevated protection for one-man, one-woman marriage to its state constitution.

In doing so, he frustrated the express will of seven million Californians who went to the polls to shape their state's public policy on marriage.

Since marriage policy is not established anywhere in the federal Constitution, defining marriage, according to the 10th Amendment, is an issue reserved for the states. Judge Walker never should have accepted this case in the first place.

Under Judge Walker, it's no longer "We the People," it's "I the Judge."

In addition, Judge Walker is an open homosexual, and should have recused himself from this case due to his obvious conflict of interest.

What can be done?

Fortunately, the Founders provided checks and balances for every branch of government, including the judicial branch. Federal judges hold office only "during good Behaviour," and if they violate that standard can be removed from the bench.

Judge Walker's ruling is not "good Behaviour." He has exceeded his constitutional authority and engaged in judicial tyranny.

Judges are not, in fact, unaccountable. They are accountable to Congress, which can remove them from office.

Impeachment proceedings, according to the Constitution, begin in the House of Representatives. It's time for you to put your congressman on record regarding the possible impeachment of Judge Walker.

1. Fair enough.
I detest the Extreme Court's ruling in Bush v. Gore even more than they do this one. Ergo, Scalia, Thomas and Kennedy (the only members of the Felonious Five still sitting) should be impeached at once.

2. Let them try
This is one battle in Congress I would look forward to watching. In fact, why not demand that your favorite Republican congressman take a stand on the AFA's position: Do they support the AFA's call to impeach Judge Walker?

It's always easier when their hatred is exposed.

4. The bitter, bitter tears
Oh, they are so sweet!

The AFA swallows torture, extraordinary rendition, and illegal wars without batting an eye. But let Adam and Steve live their lives in peace, and now we're talking impeachment! AFA, thou makest Jesus want to drink gin right out of the cat's dish.

6. Geezus. When you'd think these people can't muster more hate they just whip out more. What a sad
existence. Perpetual displeasure with the world around you.
