United States Attorney General Eric Holder, this week, has again overstepped the boundaries of the law when he arbitrarily ordered that homosexual couples will now receive government benefits reserved only for natural marriage status. This applies even in states that have laws defining marriage as only between one man and one woman.
Taking a nod from the playbook of his boss, President Barack Obama, Holder wielded his own pen and paper, trampling on states' rights and disenfranchising voters in states defining marriage as only between one man and one woman.
It is time for Eric Holder to go!
...
It is the sworn duty of every member of Congress to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States. Allowing Eric Holder to remain in office unchallenged is a violation of that duty. Action must be taken to stop the abuse of power in the attorney general’s office.
Urge your representative to press for the impeachment of Attorney General Eric Holder for high crimes and misdemeanors.

Which is it, a high crime or a misdemeanor?
EDIT: 14th Amendment "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; ... nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
You're claiming Holder is NOT supporting this? Reading comprehension fail.
In what document does it say that government benefits are reserved only for "natural marriage status"? In what way does a homosexual couple not have "natural marriage status"? Marriage is a human invention, it's not particularly natural; other animals don't marry before they mate.
I bet the Constitution has something about all human being equal and having the same rights and responsibilities. That includes homosexuals and their rights to marry their loved ones.
What high crimes and misdemeanors are these? Defending the human rights of American citizens? Refusing to participate in systematic discriminations? Treating others as you want to be treated? How DARE he?!?
"...where all men are created equal..."
Dear AFA,
Gay rights>>>state's rights.
Before the civil rights movement, the people said the same about integration. What makes you any different?
@Swede
If I recall correctly the 14th Amendment (specifically section 1) says something to this effect.
@Goomy pls"If I recall correctly the 14th Amendment (specifically section 1) says something to this effect."
Yay, I know the American Constitution better than the American Family Association!
You might want to check out the equal protection clause of the Constitution you claim to love so much. I'll give you a hint, it's in the 14th amendment.
Eric Holder is doing far more to uphold the Constitution than anything the fascists at the American Family Association ever thought of. But how can you even make the claim that allowing homosexual couples status equal to heterosexual couples is a high crime or misdemeanor?
Could you point out where the Constitution forbds same-sex couples from receiving the same benefits as different sex couples? Or where it says if same-sex couples receive benefits, different sex couples cannot? What specific state right has been violated? Could you tell me what high crime and misdemeanor has the AG committed?
Of course, my questions are simply rhetorical. The morons over at the AFA think anyone can be impeached who does something they disagree with.
Regardless of what your fundie pastors have told you, the Constitution does not say, "religion can do whatever it wants, to whomever it wants, and everybody else can go suck it". Holder IS doing his job under the law.
It is the sworn duty of every member of Congress to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Equal treatment under the law IS in the Constitution. The second amendment isn't the only thing written in the entire Constitution.
trampling on states' rights
The federal Constitution has supremacy over the states' Constitutions. We've fought this battle thousands of times and every time we've come to the same conclusion. And you aren't going to win just because you refuse to accept it.
disenfranchising voters in states defining marriage as only between one man and one woman
Like they disenfranchised the voters in slave states? Sorry, but the voters don't get to vote on someone else's rights. That's like two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

Oh please do. The resulting media circus and complete waste of taxpayer money would ensure that the GOP not only doesn't take any seats but will lose a few, too.
It is the sworn duty of every member of Congress to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
It's also the sworn duty of the President and the Attorney General, and that's just what they're doing.
""...where all men are created equal..."
Dear AFA,
AFA: "No, no, no, NO! It's 'all WHITE CHRISTIAN HETEROSEXUAL men are created equal'!!!"

See that kid there in the supermarket: crying, wailing, screaming, impotently kicking & hitting the floor and generally being the spoilt little brat he is; just because he can't have what he wants...?:

"...when he arbitrarily ordered that homosexual couples will now receive government benefits reserved only for natural marriage status."
"... I'm going to quit. And, and I told Don too, because they've moved my desk four times already this year, and I used to be over by the window, and I could see the squirrels, and they were married, but then, they switched... from the Swingline to the Boston stapler...." - Milton Waddams, Office Space
In other words, it take a very special, "special" kind of person, to think there is such a thing as "natural marriage."
It is the sworn duty of every member of Congress to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States.
Where in the Constitution does it forbid giving same-sex couples Federal benefits? DOMA was declared unconstitutional.
impeachment of Attorney General Eric Holder for high crimes and misdemeanors.
Don't be silly.
trampling on states' rights and disenfranchising voters
The ruling applies only to Federal benefits, not state benefits.
As soon as you read "natural marriage" you know you can stop reading and move on.
AFA = certified hate-group, in any case.
