Well of course it makes sense, but we’ve seen some crazier, contradictory policy moves before. The Iowa Civil Rights Commission this week backed the Supreme Court’s decision to legalize same-sex marriage, while also coming out against the possibility of a voter-approved constitutional amendment banning it. Even Commissioner Rick Morain, a Republican, agrees with the group’s decision! “I don’t think we’re saying that there can’t be a constitutional amendment raised. I mean, that’s under the constitution. My personal feeling is that if that kind of amendment were adopted, it would clash with Article 1 of the constitution, which is the Iowa Bill of Rights.”
