Iowa Supreme Court Justice Makes Important Announcement

“Justice says he’ll defend same-sex marriage vote in campaign; ‘I’m not going to let them bully me,’ says David Wiggins, who joined 2009 same-sex marriage ruling” 

A recent edition of The Des Moines Register contains an article that begins,

Iowa Supreme Court Justice David Wiggins vows he won’t stand quietly by if opponents of same-sex marriage launch a potent campaign to oust him from the bench.” As most of the judges of the United States and many in Canada know Iowa voted not to retain three state Supreme Court Justices in 2010. The campaign although it was close was brutal. If there were valid concerns among the supporters of the three defeated justices that concern centered on their principled decision to ‘stay above the fray’ or not to personally engage in significant campaigning. Justice Wiggins has promised to mount a vigorous campaign.
