Three Iowa Justices Defeated For Same-Sex Marriage Ruling
4th November 2010
Democracy works every time it’s tried. That’s what drives the Crust insane.
Three Iowa Supreme Court Justices were tossed as a result of their votes mandating that same-sex couples be allowed to marry. They are the first Justices who failed to be retained since 1962, when the current system was implemented.
Although I don’t understand the complaint of Drake University Law School Dean Allan Vestal that this was a “misuse” of the right of voters to vote on judicial retention. Isn’t this exactly what the retention power is intended to do?
Heh. Would that the U.S. Supreme Court had the same system.
