This isn’t getting much airplay, or I’m just not seeing it here in Korn Kountry (most local channels are unwatchable, anyway).

Would love to know where to get yet another sign for my already crowded yard!

Make one.

Six feet tall letters that say “NO!”

Removal of these tyrants may be the shot heard in judicial chambers country wide. Usurpation of powers vested in other branches is justification for firing.

Leaving these judges in office would send a horrible message in favor of judicial tyranny.

I’ve voted “NO” to judicial retention on every one, for as long as I can remember with the hope that the judges would see a few no votes, and at least think that they could indeed be turned out and they’d better rule on the law, not write it from the bench.

The sad truth is that it will do little good to vote them out. With the rigged system we have in Iowa the present judges will be replaced with like-minded judges.

By all means, vote these idiots out but the real problem is the method used to appoint judges. Fixing the method with which the judges are chosen is the big issue that must be addressed.

I personally hate this ad. What gets skipped over is the fact that a Supreme Court judge’s job is to determine the CONSTITUTIONALITY of a law, not to do what angry citizens demand of them.
The fact that these judges are being attacked for their positions reveals a great deal of ignorance on the part of the attackers, and I, as a new voter, will never take such illogical attacks seriously.

Welcome to FR.

I gather you agree with the IA Supreme Court. Please explain why.

I smell a troll.

The judge problem goes way beyond this one issue - the judicial selection process is horribly slanted in one direction - and voting judges off the bench is the only way we the people can reign in judicial tyranny.

Probably a drive by newbie troll.

It’s a shame that impeachment or removal by voters so rarely happens. It is just a firing; people get fired for various reasons in the real, working world and IMO, our country would be far better off if it happened to judges much more often.

Too bad removal by voters is not in our federal Constitution.

In a particular case. They do not have jurisdiction to make laws or amend constitutions.

And angry citizens have every right to have them removed for lawless decisions in particular cases, too.

The Constitution is supreme, not the judges. And ultimately, the people are the sovereign, under God.

Looks to me like you're the one who is ignorant, even to the extent that you're evidently confused about what sort of government we have. It isn't "logic" to think that judges can make laws or amend constitutions. That's not their job, and when they do it, they are acting lawlessly.

Superb response.

Tomorrow is Constitution Day, the day in 1787 our Constitution was signed by nearly all of the delegates to the Convention.

Thanks. We all must honor it, both tomorrow and every day thereafter.
