Rep. Steve King (R-IA), a vocal opponent of gay marriage, has a few ideas on how conservatives should react to the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, including impeaching some of the justices.
During a Tuesday appearance on Jan Mickelson’s Iowa radio show “Mickelson in the Morning,” a caller suggested that Congress impeach some of the Supreme Court justices. King agreed, mentioning that both Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Elena Kagan have performed same-sex marriages.
“That provision does exist, and let’s hear what the public has to say. If that were put up before me today, and I think I mentioned Ginsburg and Kagan as being two that had been conducting same-sex marriages on their spare time and did not recuse themselves, I would put up the vote to remove them from office,” King said, according to audio published by Right Wing Watch. ” But I don’t know if the public is ready for that.”
The congressman said he also thought Sen. Ted Cruz’s (R-TX) proposal to hold retention elections for the justices was a “good idea.”
In the meantime, King suggested “nationwide civil disobedience” and encouraged states to simply “abolish civil marriage.”
“They will not stop until they can force a priest to conduct a same-sex marriage at the altar of a Catholic church,” he said.
Funny how someone who is deeply religious and against gay marriage (Scalia) isn’t somehow biased and doesn’t need to recuse themselves…
so, rep. king (R-Stupid) will be right on top of pushing for justice thomas’ impeachment, for failing to recuse himself from the King v Burwell case. oh, that’s right, he won’t be. well IA, you voted for him, you’re stuck with him. unfortunately, so are the rest of us.
Here’s how much King loves his country!

Ok, so Steve King’s state of Iowa has had legal SSM for several years. There are still churches left in Iowa? I though The Gays would have persecuted them out of existence by now. What happened?
Why wouldn’t Thomas and some of the others have to recuse themselves from ACA trials given Thomas’s wife campaigned against it? I mean there are all sorts of conflicts that go on all of the time.
Attacking two of the liberal justices on an issue you do not like is purely political theater.
