Enter Bill Salier: Failed politician, Voiciferous Opponent of Justice

The DI carried a story this morning about a failed politician named Bill Salier who has collected a bunch of signatures to have Hero/Judge Robert Hansen impeached. This comes after Robert Hanson's decision that the Iowa Constitution protects certain partnership rights of people. Not just some people. ALL people. Imagine that, a constitution interpreted to protect the rights of all people. What a radical.

Here's the entire AP story (from the QC Times because I couldn't find it on the DI's site). As always, here's the lede:

A conservative activist on Thursday delivered petitions with more than 6,000 signatures calling for the impeachment of a district judge who struck down the state's ban on gay marriage last summer.

Bill Salier, founder of the nonprofit group Everyday America, said Polk County Judge Robert Hanson overstepped his authority in issuing his ruling in August.

"What we're driving for here is to stop a runaway judiciary," said Salier, who ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 2002.

Bill Salier was also the Iowa Campaign Manager for your favorite race-baiter and mine, Tom Tancredo. Here he is talking about the monumental day that Tom Tancredo joined the top tier of candidates. You remember that day right? Right? Who's with me?
