OF REPRESENTATIVES REPRESENTATIVE JOHN BECKER HOUSE DISTRICT 65

HOUSE

September 19th, 2013 Dear Congressman Wenstrup: As a member of the Ohio General Assembly, I am writing you today to express my concerns about the federal governments ever growing propensity to violate state sovereignty. Although this has been a trend since the early 19th century, it has accelerated exponentially in recent decades. Rather than the solution, the federal judiciary has been the primary problem. As you know, federal judges are appointed for life and the states and people (except as otherwise represented in Congress) are powerless against them. To that end, the US House of Representatives has the power to impeach and the US Senate has the power to remove them from office. This will begin the process of restoring state sovereignty back to the original intent of the US Constitution. The drafters of the Constitution have provided this mechanism beyond appeal for the people to remove life appointments. Since 1797, there have been eight federally appointed judges removed from office and three more that resigned prior to their potential removal. In consideration of the above, I am asking you to initiate impeachment proceedings against Judge Timothy S. Black, United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The grounds are malfeasance and abuse of power.

As you might recall, in July 2013, Judge Black ordered that Ohio must recognize the homosexual marriage of John Arthur and James Obergefell. This is a clear violation of Article XV, Section 11 of the Ohio Constitution and the Tenth Amendment of the US Constitution. Additionally in September 2013, Judge Black ordered that Ohio must recognize the homosexual marriage of William Herbert Ives (deceased) and David Michener. Judge Black has demonstrated his incompetence by allowing his personal political bias to supersede jurisprudence. Thank you for your time expended in this matter. I can be reached at (614)466-8134. Sincerely,

John Becker State Representative Ohios 65th House District Cc: John Boehner, Speaker of the US House of Representatives
