Justices Issue Statement on Retention Results


Posted on Nov 04, 2010

On November 3, 2010, Justice David Baker, Justice Michael Streit, and Chief Justice Martha Ternus issued the following joint statement:

It has been our great privilege to serve the people of Iowa as justices on the Iowa Supreme Court.  Throughout our judicial service, we have endeavored to fulfill our duty to Iowans by always adhering to the rule of law, making decisions fairly and impartially according to law, and faithfully upholding the constitution. 
 
We thank all of the Iowans who voted to retain judges around the state for another term.  Your support shows that many of our citizens value fair and impartial courts.  We also want to acknowledge and thank all the Iowans, from across the political spectrum and from different walks of life, who worked tirelessly over the past few months to defend Iowa's high-caliber court system against an unprecedented attack funded by out-of-state special interest groups. 
 
Finally, we hope Iowans will continue to support Iowa's merit selection system for appointing judges. This system helps ensure that judges base their decisions on the law and the Constitution and nothing else. Ultimately, however, the preservation of our state's fair and impartial courts will require more than the integrity and fortitude of individual judges, it will require the steadfast support of the people.
