Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) on Sunday called for the state to impeach the judge who struck down Arkansas' same-sex marriage ban on Friday, according to The Hill.
"The Governor should call a special session of the legislature and impeach the judge and affirm the people's will. If the people wish to allow same sex marriage, they can put that matter on the ballot and vote for it," Huckabee said in a statement from his political action committee, Huck PAC.
Huckabee signed the same-sex marriage ban into law as governor in 1997. In his Sunday statement, Huckabee highlighted that the bill was co-sponsored by a Democrat and passed "overwhelmingly" by both chambers. Huckabee criticized Judge Chris Piazza for his "massacre of the law and the will of the people."
