Senatorial failure and state wacko conservative Bill Salier (His current position as chair of Tom Tancredo's Iowa campaign neatly sums him up, really) is circulating a petition expressing his desire to see judge Robert Hanson impeached for declaring Iowa's gay marriage ban unconstitutional. Because, as we all know, people like Bill Salier will be unable to help themselves from getting gay marriages if they become legal, and pretty soon that slippery slope will lead to him having three or four simultaneous gay marriages with his dogs.
Here is Mike Gronstal's response:
Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal laughed when he heard about the effort.
And later:
Gronstal said Salier’s impeachment demand was not an honest attempt to oust Hanson. “Let’s be blunt: The likelihood of that happening is zero, and he knows it, and you know it.”
House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy doesn't mince words either:
“This is a very emotional issue, but we are not interested in politicizing the judicial branch to help the failing presidential campaign of Tom Tancredo,” the Des Moines Democrat said in a statement.
This is the perfect way to talk about this issue – go right back at the crybabies. Major props to our elected leaders today.

used to like Gronstal more
before he decided to stand in the way of the clean elections bill.
But those are excellent comments, I agree.
