Guest column by Bill McCartan argues for supporting the Iowa Supreme Court decision on marriage equality and opposing efforts to remove three justices. He reflects on gay family members, the APA stance, and the need for decency, education, and acceptance in Iowa voters.
A political letter argues the 2009 Iowa Supreme Court ruling redefining marriage usurped legislative and public powers. It urges voters to oppose all three justices in the upcoming retention election, claiming judges overstep constitutional bounds and threaten individual liberty.
Larry Zimpleman argues that Iowa’s merit based judicial selection should not be replaced by political appointments or elections. He cautions against removing Supreme Court justices over a single ruling and warns of harm to business stability if politics influence the courts. He notes Iowa’s longstanding system and cites business surveys supporting judicial impartiality.
