摘要
在这篇由《堪萨斯法律评论》主办的研讨会上,我考察了爱荷华州最高法院2009年对瓦纳姆诉布莱恩案(Varnum v. Brien)的裁决(该法院推翻了该州对同性婚姻的禁令),以及2010年爱荷华州司法保留选举中法院七名法官中三名被罢免的历程。我描述了大法官的批评者和支持者的竞选活动。然后,我提出了一些全国范围内的学者、活动家和法官可以从爱荷华州的经验中学到的教训。
Letter from Iowa: Same-Sex Marriage and the Ouster of Three Justices
In this contribution to a symposium sponsored by the Kansas Law Review, I examine the path from the Iowa Supreme Court’s 2009 ruling in Varnum v. Brien (in which the court struck down the state’s ban on same-sex marriage) to the ouster of three of the court’s seven justices in Iowa’s 2010 judicial retention election. I describe the campaign efforts of the justices’ detractors and supporters. I then suggest a number of lessons that academics, activists, and judges nationwide can learn from the Iowa experience.
