Tennessee state representative Rick Womack, R-Rockvale, has called for the impeachment of Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam. 
Tennessee Rep. Rick Womick, R-Vockvale, called for the impeachment of Gov. Bill Haslam on his Facebook account. NASHVILLE -- Incensed over Republican Gov. Bill Haslam's response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage, a Tea Party-style Tennessee lawmaker says "it's time to give serious consideration to impeachment hearings against Gov. Haslam" as well as the justices.
In a Facebook posting, state Rep. Rick Womick, R-Murfreesboro, wrote "and where is Tennessee's leadership . our Governor bowed down to the five self appointed gods in black robes just minutes after they issued their 'opinion!'
"He changed Tennessee state law and our State Constitution without ever consulting with the General Assembly," Womick continued. "I think it's time to give serious consideration to impeachment hearings against Gov. Haslam and these five rogue SCOTUS justices!"
Following the Supreme Court's decision, Haslam and Tennessee Attorney General Herbert Slatery disagreed with the ruling but said the state had no choice but to follow the ruling.
This isn't Womick's first dust-up with the governor. Last year, he called Haslam a "traitor to the party" over what he charged were efforts by political action committee with ties to the governor's supporters aimed at defeating opponents of Tennessee Common Core education standards.
Last year, the fiery lawmaker unsuccessfully ran against state House Speaker Beth Harwell, R-Nashville, for the GOP Caucus speakership nomination.
