The threat by five legislators to impeach the State Supreme Court Justices is not only a sad attempt to misuse the impeachment process for political gain, but completely out of touch with Iowans. I strongly urge you to resist any and all efforts to impeach the four Iowa State Supreme Court Justices. This threat undermines the integrity of Iowa’s courts and the whole judicial system.
 
Iowa’s law on impeachment is clear: It is only for officials who violate the law or their oath of office. Impeachment is not a wrecking ball every time some people disagree with the outcome of a single case. That is why a judge has never been impeached in the history of the state.
 
The future of the courts and these justices should be decided through the retention vote process, not a small, but loud minority who wish to inject politics into our court system.

Please protect our courts. Iowans want our courts to dispense justice not politics.
 
Sincerely,
