10th anniversary of Varnum v. Brien ( marriage equality decision in Iowa) [View all]


April 3rd, 2009

I still remember where I was when I heard the news. I was very, very skeptical. Iowa & gay marriage?

It was kind of a magically strange day.

But Iowa's Pope, Bob VanderPlaats and his band of haters has been on a ten year vengeance tear doing anything and everything to wreck Iowa's court system and take control of it. Thus we are sitting here watching Trumpublicans in the Iowa Legislature take a sledge hammer to the court system that is often considered to be one of the fairest for selecting judges.

There isn't anything the Trumpublicans won't wreck to have their way.
