Liberty Counsel's Mat Staver and wingnut pundit Matt Barber are
calling for President Obama's impeachment for "high crimes and
misdemeanors" and "acting in a lawless way" because it is somehow his
fault that attorneys general around the country are refusing to defend
gay marriage bans in their states, Right Wing Watch reports.
Said Staver:
"This lawlessness has been empowered by
President Obama and Eric Holder, the Attorney General, where they have
just simply ignored the laws and decided not only to not enforce certain
laws that they don't like but also to actively work to undermine them.
That's why we're calling for President Obama's impeachment, he's just
acting in a lawless way."
Added Barber:
"He has the bully pulpit, he holds the
highest office in the land and so people are looking to him for
direction. Well, he has set the tempo here so we are now living in a
culture of lawlessness where relativists, ideologically-driven
relativists, ideologues, liberals, are saying we're not really a nation
of laws, we're a nation of men and we're the ones who are smart enough
to know better, we need to effect change, we have to skirt the
Constitution, get around the laws or just trample right over them in
order to do what we want to do and accomplish what we want to
accomplish. And that's why this culture of lawlessness that we can point
to multiple, specific instances and actions by President Obama and
inactions that have created the culture, this is why we believe and we
are petitioning Congress essentially to impeach this man."
