    I believe Iowa did something similar to this a few years ago. As I recall, the Iowa Supreme Court issued a ruling on gay rights. A recall campaign was begun and I think some or all of those judges were ousted in the recall vote. Not sure if any of them were ever reappointed or if they ran again later in subsequent elections, or what.
    That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

          I don’t think a liberal has ever used the words, “judicial activism” except when making fun of the deplorable s.

            3 got booted by the voting public following the unanimous ruling allowing gay marriage (officially, they were not retained). They got replaced by the Stache with 3 conservatives.

            The latest derp is a bill proposing that they can't rule something unconstitutional without a super majority of 5/7 justices - leading to the awkwardness of something being found unconstitutional but still on the books because it wasn't unconstitutional enough. I don't think it'll make it through the state House, but the GOP may try to get it through if they think they'll lose one of the chambers in November anyway.

            Edit: apparently it died in the state House last week. Good.

              Conservatives, yes. Moderates, only when they rule in favor of their corporate masters.

                But they're more than happy to use it. Read: Ninth Circuit.

                        Apparently this dolt is running in a solid blue district, to the point Republicans didn't care who they fielded.

                                That's what a real revolution looks like. He's going to face an incredible amount of opposition and I wouldn't be surprised if he's targeted for violence. He's threatening decades of mindless ideology and a lot of very wealthy interests.
