Last fall election Iowa voters decided to fire three of its Supreme Court Justices over the "controversial" ruling that legalized gay marriage in this state. If that wasn't enough, now the Iowa House is trying to impeach the rest of the Justices. They claim that they violated the separation of powers by legislating from the bench, a common criticism for judges who rule that the government has no right to get involved in people's private lives.
According to the article, most Iowas are opposed to this idea. Which I find hard to believe given that Iowa voters practically did the same thing last fall. I suppose I have nothing else to add, besides I really dislike Iowa's House, but am very grateful for the Iowa Senate.
