Sorry, it doesn't work for me... nor should it work for any conservative. This nation is NOT a democracy... it is a Constitutional Republic.
As much as I am opposed to the Roe V. Wade decision, a referendum to decide the issue would open to door to other referenda ... and law passed without the give and take of argument and debate that considers the needs and desires of the minority, which would be lost in a direct democracy, is bad law.
Let's not throw out the Constitution merely because some black robed usurpers have taken on the powers of the legislature from the Judicial bench. Let us instead ride such tyrants out of town on a rail, after thouroughly tarring and feathering them! Anti-constitutional rulings such as Roe v. Wade should have been ignored by the two other branches of government... as the Constitution intended.
As I noted, the original system including the constitution is one thing and the present reality of professional pols is another. Those guys positively intend to have such decisions in the hands of judges who behave like satraps. We end up in situations in which the people are totally helpless like the situation in which a single Clintonista judge threw out proposition 187. That should not be happening.
