Woot!

Iowa Supreme Court Rules Unanimously that Same-sex Marriage Ban is Unconstitutional!

(tip o' the hat to [livejournal.com profile] shsilver for the news)

That is grand. I feel like skipping around the office to let everyone know. :)

Even the conservatives admit (http://news.yahoo.com/s/usnw/20090403/pl_usnw/eagle_forum__iowa_s_supremacist_judges_overturn_state_law_and_ok_gay_marriage) an effort at a ballot initiative in Iowa "would face additional hurdles, such as approval by the state legislature in two consecutive legislative sessions, with a subsequent ballot initiative which receives a popular vote."

That's no gaurantee, but they shouldn't be able to ram it through quite the way it happened in California and Michigan.
