Allen Quist brings the crazy, wants Obama impeached over immigration policy

Rep. Tim Walz (DFL-MN) will face either former legislator Allen Quist or current State Senator Mike Parry (R-Waseca) in the 2012 election in November. Quist and Parry are going to try and out-crazy each other to win the MNGOP primary in August.

Quist wants Obama impeached over his immigration policy:

Allen Quist, a former state representative running against Rep. Tim Walz (D-MN) in Minnesota's 1st congressional district, told a town hall late last week that Obama's recent immigration policy, as well as his decision not to defend in court the Defense of Marriage Act, were both unconstitutional. While some Republicans would cautiously leave the matter there, Quist pressed on, declaring that Obama had committed an impeachable offense. If elected, he promised he would "not only propose it, [he] would argue it to the utmost of my ability and [he] would carry it like a banner to the American public."
QUIST: When Richard Nixon was threatened with impeachment, one of the articles of impeachment was violating the Constitution of the United States. So is this an impeachable offense? Yes. Whenever the Constitution is violated, it is an impeachable offense. [...]

QUESTIONER: Would that be something you would propose amongst your fellows there?

QUIST: I would not only propose it, I would argue it to the utmost of my ability and I would carry it like a banner to the American public.
