A new group called Focus on Iowa’s Future has formed. It’s made up of people who were on the losing side of last year’s judicial retention vote. The group has just posted a video online. It features Bob Vander Plaats, the man who spearheaded the successful campaign to oust the three Iowa Supreme Court Justices who were up for retention last fall. The opening headline: “extremists are attacking our court system.” If you watch, you’ll hear the name “Newt Gingrich” a lot from Vander Plaats.
