First Call For impeachment By Member Of Congress

A Republican congressman has told a left-leaning blog that if there is collective support, he would favor the impeachment of Barack Obama over his decision to stop defending the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

Scott Keyes of ThinkProgress.org asked U.S. Rep. Trent Franks, R-Ariz.: "I know Newt Gingrich has came out (sic) and said if they don't reverse course here, we ought to be talking about possibly impeaching either Attorney General [Eric] Holder or even President Obama to try to get them to reverse course. Do you think that is something you would support?" Keyes asked.

Franks replied: "If it could gain the collective support, absolutely. I called for Eric Holder to repudiate the policy to try terrorists within our civil courts, or resign. So it just seems like that they have an uncanny ability to get it wrong on almost all fronts."

Keyes was referring to the announcement by Holder and Obama that they no longer would fulfill their official duties to defend the law of the United States when it came to the Defense of Marriage Act.

I'm glad to see a congressmen finally working on something important......when will they make time to address the budget and our economy?

You forget Eden, Obama is not a real President. Therefore, everything that has happened during his illigitimate presidency is not actually happening, as all of is is illegitimate.

So, if you impeach him and kick him and Michelle back to a tent in Kenya, the nation wakes up from our collective nightmare and we are miraculously transported back to the halcion days of 2003. Jobs for everyone, money for everyone, and gasoline falling from the sky.

(And don't think there is not someone out there who believes this...)
