So, on election day we’ll learn just how many uneducated fools are voting
in Iowa. Any chance of a link to the court decision that NOM is upset about?
Apparently the governor’s office has a mechanism that ban same-sex
marriages? A dead link at wiki referenced a republican candidate saying he
would do such if elected. Also, I suppose the legislature could enact a new
ban framed differently After reading the court ruling, which I’m guessing
most Iowans didn’t do, I find the ousting of the judges contemptible. I
wonder if the legislature or exec branch could reseat the judges if
desired. The state constitution is interestingly written.
Yeah, I see that would likely cause a furor. It just seems so unfair that
they lose their job for doing it correctly! People can be so easily misled
it’s no wonder religion has such a stranglehold on so many.
found the link through the afer site, at wiki wikipedia

Federal judges are independent, although they are still subject to removal
from office by impeachment (as they should be). States create their own
state constitutions, so some judges are appointed, and some are elected.
Another huge difference between state vs fed – most state constitutions can
be amended by a simple majority popular vote. Thankfully the US
Constitution is a lot harder to amend.
Why are federal level court judges not subject to election but the justices
of some states are? Just wondered. Wasn’t the judiciary supposed to be
independent in order to be able to police the other branches of government?
Don’t encourage them .lol
NOM=Devolution+Ignorance. There should be a special kind of darwin award
for twits like NOM
Even if they do manage to unseat all 7 judges, their ruling still stands.
They would need another case to overturn the previous ruling. Anything like
that in the works?
I guess the governor could re-appoint the justices, but that would almost
certainly evolve into a huge political fight that no one would win.
