Iowa courts overturn same-sex marriage ban

Iowa's supreme court has overturned same-sex marriage ban, callilng it unconstitutional. First: YAY! Second: how quickly will (have?) people use the "activist judges" attack. Third: How quickly these anti-gay-rights people make it to the national news?

Hopefully, Iowans will - on the whole - stand behind this ruling and either pass it in the legislature, or pass it as a ballot. However, strategically speaking, if this issue makes it to a ballot initiative, it will have to be written very carefully to ensure that a defeat of it will not mean a constitutional ban.
