The Iowa Independent reports:
The state’s next turn in the national spotlight begins on Tuesday, Dec. 9, when the state Supreme Court hears arguments on same-sex marriage. The legal drama has been three years in the making . . .
Jim Campbell, litigation counsel for the Alliance Defense Fund, provided the crux of the opposition brief by questioning the lower court’s decision to reject testimony prior to ruling.
“The government should promote and encourage strong families,” Campbell said. “The expert testimony excluded by the court was crucial to establishing why Iowa’s Defense of Marriage Act does that and why the act is completely constitutional. The people of Iowa, through their elected legislators, took their stand on marriage as a union of one woman and one man when they passed this Act in 1998.” . . .
