Vander Plaats Campaign Aims to Check Courts in Iowa
Bob Vander Plaats says his Iowa For Freedom effort to oust Chief Justice Marsha Ternus and Justices David Baker and Michael Streit is a step to restore a same sex marriage ban and curb judicial activism. He spoke at a Cedar Falls meeting urging a gubernatorial executive stay and a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman. He frames the effort as a broader “check and balance” on the courts and warns against court overreach.

Vander Plaats favors a governor appointed, retention-based system like federal judges.
