The bundling of provisions does seem odd, until you remember that the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is also a bundle of provisions, dealing with such things as Congressional Representation, the definition of U.S. Citizneship and barring former Confederates from office.
I’ve been personally acquainted with Wolfie, although I admit that I never knew him well, but my opinion is that he is of inherited wealth and fancies himself to be an aristocrat, who knows what is best for we commoners.
He’s going to the same court that changed the election rules, which authority the US Constitution gives to the state legislatures, not the courts. They will probably give him what he wants. The majority of the state Supremes are Democrats.
Another update from the Everlasting Job-Stopper.
Call his bluff. Impeach him
“Kill the baby”: the Democrat party Prime Directive since 1970.
Suing the legislature for doing its constitutional duty and letting the people vote on an issue?!
From the same people that tell you “democracy” is under attack?!

That’s it,
in a nut shell ( literally ).
Inherited wealth.
Ivy League indoctrination.
Rhodes Scholar at Oxford for further indoctrination.
Yes, he considers himself to be “our betters”.
The ‘bundling of provisions’ also seems to be present in the first Amendment of the US Constitution…

Am I missing something here. The article says the resolution needs to be voted on in the legislature in two consecutive sessions. This is the first session. It must be again voted on in the legislative session next year and then place on the ballot for the public to vote to approve or deny the change to the constitution.
It appears that this lawsuit is not ripe for litigation since the “damage” is too speculative at this time. Until the legislative action is final there is no issue to litigate. Next year, if the legislature approves the constitutional amendment to be presented to the public for a vote, then the Governor would have the standing to argue the process was unconstitutional, as it would then be ripe for litigation.
As for abortion being a right under the current constitution, that is precisely what the amendment to this constitution would decide. There are no “unamendable” clauses in a state’s constitution. The public may amend it at any time they wish.
Agreed, the Governor of Pennsylvania, as on the federal level the President, has no say on the Amendment process other than the use of ‘the bully pulpit’. The very idea that the Pennsylvania Courts should even entertain this lawsuit is laughable.

He is the worst governor. He is responsible for putting us through so much misery.
Excellent observation.
“This lawsuit is not only meritless, but it undermines the ability of the people of Pennsylvania to have a say in how they are governed,”
.........................
The people only “have a say in how they are governed”??? From the state of We The People??? Weak weak weak!
