After ruling in January that denying same-sex marriage to couples violates Maryland's Constitution, Baltimore Circuit Judge M. Brooke Murdock is now facing impeachment. In other words, ruling for marriage equality is clearly the action of a judge who is incompetent and incapable of doing her/his job. General Assembly Delegate Donald H. Dwyer, Jr. (R - of course) is behind this new and insane tactic.

Remember that State of the Union address wherein George W. Bush related "activist" judges to the criminal activity of all those Jack Abramoff bribe-taking Congress people? Here's that quote again: [Many Americans] are concerned about the unethical conduct by our public officials and discouraged by activist courts that try to redefine marriage...." And now here are those words put into action.
