Ok, why do you think the Iowa Supreme Court acted improperly simply because they were not overturning a ballot vote, as happened to have happened in California? Are you implying they just woke up in the morning and started legislating ... or did someone sue the state? In which case, when they ruled on that suit, it's called justice -- not legislating from the bench, not judicial "activism," but doing the vital job they are entrusted with by our constitution as a third and EQUAL branch of government.

And far from "running roughshod," the judicial branch has the FINAL WORD on law in this country. That's why I don't much care when people complain about the Iowa Supreme Court or Judge Walker here in California. You can complain all you like - but the law is still the law, and judges get to decide which laws stand and which fall. The.End.
