Has called for the impeachment and deportation of President Barack Obama, whom he calls America's "Mullah-in-Chief". Filed formal papers demanding the impeachment and disbarment of Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan in 2010, two days before she was sworn in.

In January 2000, hit television drama The West Wing introduced the character Larry Claypool (portrayed by actor John Diehl), who headed the fictional organization Freedom Watch. Klayman was so pleased by his doppelganger that he subsequently registered a trademark for "Freedom Watch" and in 2008 formed a new group with the name. Its website includes a page devoted to the character Claypool.
