One of the newly announced South Carolina co-chairs for Sen. Ted Cruz's (R-TX) presidential campaign previously argued that the Utah judge who overturned the state's gay marriage ban should be impeached.
That co-chair is state Sen. Lee Bright (R), who challenged Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) in the 2014 Republican primary. Bright, in 2014, griped about federal judges being "absolutely out of control on so many different fronts" and went on to suggest that U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby, the judge who struck down Utah's ban on same-sex marriage, should be impeached.
In April, Cruz was hosted by a pair of gay hoteliers in Manhattan. At that dinner, he said that he would love his daughters just as much if one of them were gay. That's despite Cruz saying he views marriage as between one man and one woman.
Cruz also supports a constitutional amendment prohibiting judges from overturning state marriage laws. Cruz suggested to The Washington Blade that courts don't have the authority to rule for gay marriage.
"Because, as I said, I'm a constitutionalist," Cruz told the Blade. "If a state chooses to adopt gay marriage, that's within its constitutional authority to do so, but if it chooses not to, if it chooses traditional marriage, that is also within its constitutional purview. Part of the genius of the framers of our Constitution was allowing for the now 50 states to be laboratories of democracy, to adopt and reflect different policy choices state by state."
Bright has also pushed for his home state to create its own currency.
They should start with the homo judges and then impeach the SC voters for Obamacare!
Great news! So do I.
Well I agree, and a lot more of them need to be impeached besides that one.
Ain't gonna happen. We are no longer a serious nation.
Simply saying “GOOD”... And standing by it...just a few solid conservatives, would immediately change the game.
Hardly the only judge who needs to be impeached.
Hardly the only government official who needs to be impeached.
Barack Hussein Soetoro 0dinga Soebarkah 0bama needs to be impeached.

Good
Shoot, we can’t even recognize that we have the best candidate since Reagan, so you’re asking a lot. ya know.
Tell me about it.
“TEDCRUZLOSTMYVOTEBECAUSE...”
Because they are freaking liberals here to destroy conservatism with a free forum to preach their crap from.
I’ve seen quite a few flounce off in a fit lately...I have no patience.
I AGREE< Congress has a DUTY to Impeach these out of control lawyers in drag.
I suppose they think Cruz should apologize for any connection with the man, I think the liberals should all in unison hold their breath until he does.
CRUZ 2016!
Eventually there will be lightning. It will be us that gets it, but there will be lightning. Because as the election draws closer, it will make PDS look like a love gathering and a lot of us arent going to put up with another season of evil.
My thought exactly. Meanwhile, the senior Senator from South Carolina is talking about “moving on” from the marriage battle.
I have no problem with that idea......when I was a baby the nation was dotted with signs and billboards that said “Impeach Earl Warren”. Warren was the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court at the time.
Good!
If Jeb is the nominee, I expect to catch quite a bit of hell from lesser-evillers. I don’t answer to them, so I’m ready.
Lee Bright just couldn’t get his message out, or the Carolina uninformed could not understand. Or the Carolinians are actually closet liberals.
