Just over a year ago, we here in Iowa recalled 3 supreme court justices. After the election, Vander Plaats was all over the news claiming victory. I honestly dont follow (trust) local (or other) news, so it may have been me out of the loop...but his claims seemed a bit opportunistic to me at the time...because I hadn’t heard that I was marching to his drum before the election, just after the fact.

He was pretty active and criticized for this. Don't you remember former gov Ray saying we shouldn't politicize the courts?

I really don't like Vander Plaats; because he does seem to be opportunistic as you say.
But have to give him credit on that issue; he did really coordinate the effort on the judges.
