Texas Judge: 're-electing Pres. Obama could trigger riots'

Elected county Judge Tom Head is stirring up controversy in Lubbock, Texas. Judge Head made comments which were broadcast by CNN affiliate KJTV. Head claimed that after re-election President Obama '...is going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the U.N.,' he continued on to say 'I'm thinking worst case scenario now. I'm talking civil unrest, civil disobedience, civil war, maybe...'

Afterwards, at a county commissioner meeting, Head explained his remarks by saying 'I don't think those things that I mentioned yesterday are going to happen.'

Judge Head is also the county's emergency management director. He continued to defend the comments at the public meeting ... 'Worst case scenario, U.N. comes in and does all their stuff, ok, that's probably not gonna happen, ok? But I have to prepare for it. Worst case scenario we probably won't have an F-5 tornado coming through Lubbock, but if it happens, we gotta be ready for it.'

Texas Democrats are calling for his resignation. CNN's Ed Lavandera reports.
