Will Gay Hating Del. Bob Marshall Introduce a Bill Seeking to Ompeach Mark Herring?

I suspect that generations in the not too distant future in will perceive Del. Bob Marshall akin to George Wallace when he stood in the school house door and proclaimed his support for segregation forever. in the future.  These Virginian will wonder how someone could be so filled with hatred and anti-gay animus.  While I have heard some say that in person Marshall can be gracious, my response is so could Adolph Hitler when he chose to be gracious.  Being gracious on occasion doesn't magically make one not a sick monster based on one's deeds and beliefs.  The conservative and sometimes insane blog, Bearing Drift, reports that supposedly one or two members of the House of Delegates plans to introduce a bill to impeach Mark Herring for his decision that the Marshall-Newman Amendment is unconstitutional under the United States Constitution and recent case decisions.  Here are excerpts:

Bearing Drift has been given an exclusive first peek at the resolution calling for the impeachment of Attorney General Mark Herring.  At least two members of the House of Delegates are currently considering carrying the resolution, and there is a strong possibility it will be introduced in the days to come.

THIS IS A DRAFT COPY ONLY. . . .  WHEREAS, by refusing to enforce one of the rights in the Virginia Bill of Rights, General Herring has renounced his oath of office, which will set dangerous precedent . . .

WHEREAS, the nature of General Herring’s neglect of duty is not only unprecedented, but is a danger to all Virginians because without adherence to the paramount law that governs the government of Virginia, all rights of Virginians are at the mercy of government unconstrained by the rule of law;

WHEREAS, Article IV, Section 17 of the Constitution states that the Attorney General “offending against the Commonwealth by malfeasance in office, corruption, neglect of duty, or other high crime or misdemeanor may be impeached by the House of Delegates and prosecuted before the Senate, which shall have the sole power to try impeachments;”

IT IS THEREFORE RESOLVED that the House of Delegates should fulfill its constitutional duty by commencing the impeachment of Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring.

Several things should be noted.  First, the piece doesn't name Marshall, but the bill appears to have his finger prints all over it.  Second, even if the bill is passed the spittle flecked GOP controlled House of Delegates, for Herring to be impeached, it would require a two-thirds vote in the Virginia Senate - something that will not happen.  Third there is a distinct possibility in the interim that a federal court will strike down the Marshall-Newman Amendment giving justification to Herring's action.  And lastly, studies have shown that those who are most homophobic are the ones most turned on by gay porn.  Given Marshall's anti-gay animus, the man must be a deeply closet, self -loathing individual to expend so much hate and vitriol towards Virginia's LGBT citizens.  Someone fully comfortable with his own sexuality doesn't act this way.  I long for the day when Marshall - and Ken Cuccinelli as well - gets outed.
