Quote:DES MOINES — In a rebuke of the state supreme court with implications for judicial elections across the country, voters here removed three justices who participated in a ruling last year that made the state the first in the Midwest to permit same-sex marriage.
The close vote concluded an unusually aggressive ouster campaign in the typically sleepy state judicial retention elections that pitted concerns about judicial overreaching against concerns about judicial independence. Years of grumbling about “robed masters,” conservatives demonstrated their ability to target and remove judges who issue opinions they disagree with.

It is about damn time for the majority to assert its rights....the minority should not be able to win every time simply by playing the victim card. If Judges can't bring themselves to respect the will of the majority they should be removed from office.
The majority, sadly, can be dead wrong too...

While judges (Pontius Pilate) washed their hands of the whole affair.
You would think you might have learned something of equality and justice from this same book you would, seemingly, have forced upon people by, err, "the tea party".
Do they plan to take our country back by dumping tea in the harbor (terrorists acts) Standing on the lawn of capital hill or the Lincoln memorial with Glen Beck and preaching religion to a secular government?
Or maybe the conservatives will just call people the n and f words after a health care vote has been cast by the publicly elected body of senators and representatives?
The conservatives cannot be trusted to govern "the people" when they are bought and paid for by big business money. (den of thieves)
