GOP lawmakers vow to continue push for judicial impeachment

DES MOINES — A few Republican lawmakers were not impressed with Iowa Supreme Court Chief Justice Mark Cady’s State of the Judiciary address Wednesday, saying a push for impeachment of the remaining four justices currently under way in the Iowa House should continue.

Cady received a standing ovation when he said courts “serve the law, not the interest of constituents, not the demand of special interest groups, and not the electorate’s reaction to a particular court decision.”

Those standing were largely Democratic legislators and supporters of the justices in the public gallery, while Republicans sat, reflecting a clear party-line split.

4. Damn Judges making rulings based on the law and the Constitution.
Don't they know that them damn queers have no right to get married and be happy
because my pastor told me that they are all hell bound homos and Jesus hates them
queers too.

7. Courts should serve the law...unless the plaintiff is named Bush
and the presidency is in the balance.
