In Foster's yesterday, Bill O'Brien was quoted making another reckless comment, this one about the judiciary:
Asked what he thinks about "legislation from the bench," (when judges create law rather than interpret existing law) O'Brien suggested that the Petition for Grievance procedure would perhaps lead to a Bill of Redress or a Bill of Impeachment.
O'Brien surmised that if one judge was removed from his/her position, "it will calm the rest down."
Threatening the judiciary with a legislative impeachment and removal of a judge just to make an ideological point? There is an arrogant recklessness with which he uses and threatens to use governmental power to try to make the rest of government subservient to what he wants. It is dictatorial.
It is only January 14. So far O'Brien and his team have tried to remove a duly elected state rep because he is a Democrat, said students are too liberal to vote, introduced legislation to prohibit active duty members of the military stationed in NH from voting here, introduced a constitutional amendment to take loyalty to the United States out of the oath of office, are trying to violate the separation of powers by instructing the independent AG on how to do his job, refused to allow the public to testify at a public hearing, invited guns into the State House, and now threatens the impeachment of some random judge to teach the rest of the judges a lesson. Based on all the irresponsible, reckless and constitutionally wrong actions to date, I do not trust anything this group says about the budget. They have gotten so much so wrong so far, how can we trust them to get the numbers right? |
