Louie Gohmert: 'It's Time To Start Impeaching Judges' For Marriage Equality Ruling
Submitted by Miranda Blue on Monday, 1/25/2016 4:51 pm
Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, said last week that its time to start impeaching Supreme Court justices in response to the Obergefell marriage equality ruling, which he called an illegal decision that amounted to the court declaring itself to be God. In an interview with Florida talk radio host Joyce Kaufman on Friday, Gohmert falsely claimed that church-state separation decisions in the 1950s and 1960s mandated that you cant talk about God in schools and public places. But, he said, the Supreme Court did something even worse with Obergefell. The Supreme Court said, You know, we told you you couldnt use God, now heres the new line: Were God, he said. We are your God. Forget what God, Moses, Jesus ever said, we are your God now, the five of us in the majority, you do as we tell you. Gohmert went on to repeat his call for Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan to be impeached for participating in the decision after having performed legal same-sex marriages. We have two of them who had done same-sex marriages before they participated, they were disqualified, but they illegally participated, its an illegal decision, and its time to start impeaching judges and remove them from the Supreme Court, he said. Kaufman, for her part, seemed to say that Ginsburg and Kagan should have been disqualified for being gay.
