“Despite the ouster of the judges, though, same-sex marriage continues to be legal in Iowa, and outgoing Democratic Gov. Chet Culver has the authority to appoint the judges’ successors.”
That part is just sick. He can just do it with bringing it before his legislature?

One can only believe that if they believe that judges have the constitutional authority to make laws or to unilaterally amend constitutions.
Thankfully, we were able to educate enough Iowans that this is not, nor ever has been, the case.
