This year, the Iowa Supreme Court justices unanimously legalized same-sex marriage. Three of these judges will be on the 2010 ballot for your vote of “yes” or “no”.
Chief Justice Marsha K. Ternus who was appointed by then governor Terry Branstad; Michael J. Streit who was appointed by then governor Tom Vilsak; David L. Baker who was appointed by Governor Chet Culver.
Mat Staver, founder of Liberty Counsel and dean of Liberty University’s Law School, had this reaction. “These activist judges are no more than proselytizing engines of social change,” he offers. “That’s not the role of a judge. They are to be umpires merely calling the balls or strikes. They don’t rewrite the definition of marriage.”
