Kimmy wants to write discrimination into the Iowa Constitution

2. Of course the supremacy clause prevails, but that is secondary.

There are many insidious motives attendant with such posturing and "flouting" of law. To name a few:

1) Throw red meat to the evangelical and social conservative base and solidify GOP standing with them.
2) Activate and motivate RW voters to turnout (as if sharks in the water feeding on red meat).
3) Force AG Miller to refuse to defend such an amendment, if passed, when it is challenged in court--which it most certainly would be.
4) Create a public "forum" in which to incite harassment and persecution, both verbal and otherwise, of our LGTBQ friends in Iowa.

And we would be well advised to remember that so-called "supreme" law is inherently and perpetually unsettled, and that any SCOTUS ruling is tenuous, at best, and can be overturned on principle. This is especially the case with recent, less-institutionalized precedent. The equal protection principle is ever-evolving (or DEVOLVING under conservative rulings).
