Marsha Ternus, chief Justice of the Iowa Supreme Court, has said she will not launch a counter-campaign against groups seeking to unseat her.

Apparently it's undignified, but not illegal, for a Justice to raise campaign funds.

Instead, she's chosen to tour the state on the taxpayers time and money giving speeches that fairness in the courts is at risk.

Courthouses have had to close because of budget cuts, and the scientific community is united in that fact, but she can justify these expenses.

Why not utilize video-conferencing?

The Supremely Non-Campaign Campaign has already visited Des Moines, Dubuque and Ames.

Today the tour takes her to Cedar Rapids, where she'll give a speech and spend the night before another speech.

Other upcoming city tours include Cedar Falls, Fairfield and Sioux City.
