Idiot State Rep Wants Federal Judge Impeached

John Becker (Moron-Clermont County) wants Federal Judge Timothy Black impeached for pointing out the federal unconstitutionality of Ohio's gay marriage ban:

A Clermont County state representative reiterated his call for the impeachment of federal Judge Timothy Black, after Black on Friday said he plans to overturn Ohio's ban on recognizing same-sex marriages conducted in other states.
"In an epic display of arrogance and incompetence, Judge Black announced that he will require the people of Ohio to disregard the Ohio Constitution and force the recognition of 'homosexual marriages' performed outside of Ohio," state Rep. John Becker's office said a statement. "He persists in allowing his personal political bias to supersede jurisprudence."
Becker, R-Union Township, said Black's ruling would violate both the Ohio Constitution and the U.S. Constitution. Voters in 2004 amended Ohio's constitution to ban the state from validating or recognizing a same-sex marriage. The 10th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reserves to the states all rights not delegated to the federal government in the Constituation. Becker first called for Black's impeachment after the U.S. District Court judge ruled last year that Ohio must recognize the out-of-state marriage of an Over-the-Rhine couple on a death certificate. James Obergefell wanted to be listed on the certificate as the spouse of John Arthur after Arthur died last year of ALS. The couple had been married in Maryland weeks earlier.
Attorney Jean Geoppinger McCoy, president of the Cincinnati Bar Association, said Black was upholding the Constitution, not violating it. She cited the U.S. Constitution's clause that says each state must give "full faith and credit" to public acts and records in other states, such as legal marriages.
"Perhaps it takes a lawyer (which Becker is not) to understand," she wrote in a January bar association publication. "Rather than having faith in the legal system and trusting it to function as our forefathers envisioned through the appellate process, Rep. Becker has chosen to attempt to leverage his legislative position by taking the public stage with an impeachment resolution."

I just love seeing these idiots fight and fight in a losing clause because they think gay marriage will hurt Jesus's fee fees. Instead of making Ohio look like a laughingstock, Rep. Becker could make Ohio more business-friendly by moving to remove the ban on gay marriage from the state Constitution (said ban making the Constitution a travesty). I won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen, though. My guess is that if the Supreme Court doesn't overturn such bans by then, Ohio's will fall to a voter referendum in 2016.

Update-here's a quote from Rep. Becker's campaign website:

Being a minimalist would best describe my philosophy on government. Regarding taxes and regulations, let's start with zero and negotiate from there. Obviously, some level of both is required for a functioning society. Only an anarchist would think otherwise. I want to keep taxes and regulations as minimal as possible.

How does a moron like this get elected? Hey idiot, we tried zero taxes and regulations and did negotiate from there. This shit didn't fall from the fucking sky like a magic Coke bottle. You start from where we are at and negotiate from there. This isn't rocket science. The grassroots of the Republican Party that elects these dumbfucks is really pushing to make this nation a failed state.
