Gay marriage foes push back to oust Iowa justices

Stung by a state Supreme Court ruling legalizing gay marriage in Iowa last year, out-of-state convervative groups have been pouring time and money into an effort to unseat three of the court’s seven justices.

At a Statehouse rally Monday to kick off a bus tour, gay marriage opponents pleaded their case for why voters on Nov. 2 should opt not to retain Chief Justice Marsha Ternus, and justices David Baker and Michael Streit. Iowa voters have never ousted a state Supreme Court justice.

“I can’t overstate the significance of what is about to happen in Iowa,” said Brian Brown, executive director of the Washington, D.C.-based National Organization for Marriage. “The whole country is looking at you. This cannot be overstated.”

At a counter rally about 100 yards away, organizers argued that anti-gay rights groups that have been spent more than $600,000 to oust the justices are only focused on the one issue and don’t care about the damage they’ll do to the state’s judicial appointment process.

1. At some point the populace of this country has to smarten up and at least

try to understand propaganda before they vote. I have little faith this will ever happen, Americans are too brainwashed, but I can still hope.

2. Not until we straighten up our education system

the reason republicans dont like education is because a stupid populace is an easily controlled populace, and that is how they gain power.

3. Well Said.

This country has become increasingly ignorant and you can put that at the doorstep of haters and bigots.

4. My votes to retain these 3 judges were as important to me as

any other vote on that ballot!
