Mike Huckabee: Judge who nixed Arkansas gay marriage ban should lose his job

Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee (R) is not happy that the gay marriage ban he signed into law is no more. And in a statement issued through his political action committee, the Fox News host says the judge who issued the ruling striking down that law should be impeached post-haste.

Arkansas Gov. Mike Beebe (D), he wrote, "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," he added.
