  Paul believes that any judge who rules in favor of same-sex marriage should be impeached.

  

  "We've gotta take a stand… You can't say an immoral behavior according to God's word, what we've all been taught since the beginning, is something that's just, and that's really kind what this is all about. We'd better uphold Christian morals. As an example, how about fornication, adultery, and other issues."
