A Texan judge who this week predicted that America would descend into civil war if Obama was re-elected has been called on to resign.
Lubbock County Judge Tom Head, speaking to CNN affiliate KJTV earlier this week, said Obama would "try to give the sovereignty of the United States away to the United Nations." He said: "What do you think the public's going to do when that happens? We are talking civil unrest, civil disobedience, possibly, possibly civil war. ... I'm not talking just talking riots here and there. I'm talking Lexington, Concord, take up arms, get rid of the dictator."
He referred to "executive orders" and other documents that Obama and "his minions have filed", and said that "regardless of whether the Republicans take over the Senate, which I hope they do, [Obama] is going to make the United States Congress and he's going to make the Constitution irrelevant. He's got his czars in place that don't answer to anybody."
Texan Democrats have responded by asking for his resignation.
"It's really up to Judge (Tom) Head to do the right thing and resign and stop embarrassing Lubbock County," said Kenny Ketner, Texas' Democratic party chief to CNN.
"I wish we were getting worldwide attention for something better than a crazy county judge," he said. "But what are you going to do?"
