Interestingly, the AP quotes Republican Senator Ron Wieck, a leading contender for Senate Minority Leader.
Here's the decision courtesy of KCCI. The key quote:
The court concludes that there are no genuine issues of material fact and that Plaintiffs [the six homosexual couples] are entitled to judgement as a matter of law but Defendant is not. Because 595.2(1) violates Plaintiff's due process and equal protection rights for the aforementioned reasons including, but not limited to, the absence of a rational relationship to the achievement of any legitimate governmental interest, the Court concludes it is unconstitutional and invalid.

about time indeed
So does everyone agree that this hurts Rudy here in Iowa, where he’s been trying to appeal to the traditionally conservative Republican base?
And I’m guessing Ron Wieck made a call as soon as he heard. He’s no dummy.

No doubt
Especially since this is how he passes the buck on issues like this – “Let the states decide.”
What does your buddy Jeff think about the leadership race?
