Supreme Court didn't bully Iowans

Regarding John Hesling's May 30 letter “Court bullied Iowans on same-sex marriage”:
The Iowa Supreme Court judges did what they are required by law to do - make a judgment on the constitutionality of a law upon request.
The bullies are the narrow-minded bigots who want their reading of the Bible to apply to all. In several mid-east and Asian countries, this is known as “Sharia Law” with punishments up to stoning and beheading. Here, in the USA we are supposed to believe in all men are created equal and freedom for all. It appears some consider themselves more equal.
