Today's Quote

"One of the roles of judges is to protect the minority against the majority, who could strip them of their rights if it were put up to a vote. In Iowa's case, that's essentially what happened. Conservatives were able to remove judges, though a huge spending campaign funded largely by non-Iowans, who made a ruling based on the law that conservatives didn't like. This is exactly why judges should not be chosen by election--because judges aren't supposed to be beholden to the people, but to the law."
