The stem cell debate continues in Missouri!

The folks at Cures Without Cloning (an anti-stem cell research group in Missouri) indicated that they might be willing to pursue impeachment against MO Secretary of State Robin Carnahan because they disagree with the language her office selected as the ballot summary language in their fight to outlaw embryonic stem cell research in Missouri.

Yes, you are correct. There was a constitutional amendment last year. No, the issue is not settled.

A fellow by the name of Curt Mercadante is the spokesperson for the effort to undo constitutional protections on stem cell research that were approved by a majority of Missouri voters just last year. On top of wanting to strip protections on research, Mercadante also suggested that he would be willing to impeach a duly elected official because he disagrees with one of her decisions.

But, wait, it gets better!
Fired Up Missouri reports that Mercadante is actually running for office in Illinois.

So, the man from Illinois is talking about impeaching a Missouri elected official. Interesting.

What'd you think?
