Can anyone please tell me how a court can simply throw out a state referendum that has passed with a vast majority approval?
And if the courts had a problem with the referendum why was it not stopped prior to the vote?
Thanks

No elected officials with the balls to IGNORE the witch.

No one listened when zero was being put up.

It has always been about the judges, since more and more "law" was determined by a court and not a Constitutional Congress.

We'd better face it and be prepared for revolution.

God bless Glenn Beck, but brother, they're rubbing our face in the $h!t of their own making.

That's not the strange part - federal courts hear challenges to referendums passed by states with some frequency. The strange part is that this judge found that someone had standing to sue before the law was even enacted. For a variety of reasons, I'm not quite sure how that works.

Democrats, unable to win elections at the ballot boxes, have turned to the judiciary to effect the results “we deserve if we only weren’t too dumb to vote properly in the first place”.

Because if the referendum lost then the point would be moot?
