Iowa Supreme Court Justice David Wiggins ** Keeps his Job!**

The last remaining Iowa judge who voted to legalize marriage equality gets to keep his job on the bench. From HRC: "It appears that Iowans have made a strong statement for judicial independence and refused to let politics get in the way of judges doing their duty to uphold the law. Anti-gay groups trying to exact political retribution on judges should learn their lesson. Marriage equality remains the law of the land in Iowa and judges like Justice Wiggins will continue to do their jobs."

It will entertaining watching them trying to pretend they haven't been roundly rejected. If the House Republicans are smart, they'll cooperate. Another two years of obstruction is likely to send their asses out the door in 2014.
