In the never-ending quest to protect the sanctity of marriage, and more importantly, the rule of law, Missouri state Rep. Nick Marshall is fixin' to impeach Governor Jay Nixon for the high crime of signing an executive order that will let same-sex married people file joint state tax returns. Missouri doesn't allow gay marriage, of course, but since the Supreme Court threw out DOMA, Missouri couples married in other states will now be able to file a joint Federal 1040. Since
He'll back off if he’s “persuaded that the position I currently hold isn’t the correct one.” Fuckwit needs persuading, all right . . . with a 2x4.
So of all the problems that I understand Missouri to have, the one that deserves immediate action is to undermine filing of state taxes (snooze) of legally married same-sex couples. May I suggest that there are more pressing issues, such as the presence of one Nick Marshall in the state Senate?
