Not exactly. Removal from office specifically requires 2/3 of US Senators present, as per the Constitution.

Apparently marriages are only taking place in Salt Lake City, Utah as per the Associated Press.

That county clerk is Sherrie Swensen.

Salt Lake County Clerk

He’s been snarky and condescending since his first post. I’d ignore him from now on.

Then the people have recourse! They can simply pressure the elected clerks not to side with out-of-state communists and REFUSE to issue the licenses.

"...turns out I am wrong about the books ... I am supposed to grab my sword and ride around on my horse."

Funny, yeah. But sarcasm aside, you'd probably get more accomplished mounting up with your saber at your side than reading another worthless book from some ineffectual, elitist pundit. All the talking, book reading and intellectual smugness of the last 30 years have gotten us nowhere but the brink of our Republic's collapse. Now is the time for action. The elitist eggheads have outlived their usefulness.

Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!

"It’s a travesty if a state like Utah does not tell the feds to shove it."

You're right. I'm starting to think the Obammunists are testing the resolve of the conservative movement, kind of like China tested Dubya by ramming our P-3 Orion back in April of 2001. He knuckled under to the Commies, and Osama Bin Laden was watching.

Either that, or the Obammunist is simply trying to goad us into a fight. Either way, a show of weakness is always rewarded with more of the same, so there's a lot riding on Utah's response.

Justice Roberts might as well have been appointed by Obama considering his hand in helping Obamacare become law, but lets thank George W. Bush for that.

No. Roberts is not left-wing enough for Obambi. If Bambi gets another nomination, you'll see what a liberal court is.

Of course, Roberts did not "help Obamacare become law". I like to blame the grassroots in NY-19 who failed to back Tedisco in March '09 and the GOPers who didn't back Hoffman in NY-23 in Nov '09 ... that was the last chance to stop it ... the Scott Brown victory was too little too late. Of course, the folks that boycotted the 2006 and 2008 elections put the country in a rough spot. And the peeps who failed to oppose Bush in the 2000 primaries ...

Fear is a lousy motivation to vote for someone.

Facts tell me that both major parties are taking this country deeper into debt, spending more money and even raising taxes with the recent budget deal.

The big debate over Obamacare between D’s and R’s is a debate over in state markets versus interstate markets where people are being forced to buy health insurance.

How about reversing the mandate to buy medical insurance???

If the GOP doesn’t want to reverse the mandate to buy health insurance they might as well call themselves the Obamacare Light Party or perhaps more appropriately the Romneycare Party.

Romney’s mandate to buy medical coverage came first in MA before Obama’s nationwide mandate.
