Newt Gingrich Calls On Republicans In Congress To Consider Impeachment Proceedings Against President Obama For Deciding Not To Defend Defense Of Marriage Act

US News and World Report breathlessly reports that serial liar and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said Friday that should President Obama reverse a decision and order the Justice Department to enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, Republicans in Congress should consider impeachment proceedings. "I believe the House Republicans next week should pass a resolution instructing the president to enforce the law and to obey his own constitutional oath, and they should say if he fails to do so that they will zero out [defund] the office of attorney general and take other steps as necessary until the president agrees to do his job," said Gingrich. "His job is to enforce the rule of law and for us to start replacing the rule of law with the rule of Obama is a very dangerous precedent." Gingrich, who threatens to reveal in the next two weeks if he intends to run for the office of president in 2012, said that during Obama’s campaign he continually stated he supported the Defense of Marriage Act, and that now, with this reversal, “He is breaking his word to the American people,” adding "He swore an oath on the Bible to become president that he would uphold the Constitution and enforce the laws of the United States. He is not a one-person Supreme Court. The idea that we now have the rule of Obama instead of the rule of law should frighten everybody. The fact that the left likes the policy is allowing them to ignore the fact that this is a very unconstitutional act.”
