You are probably right.
If governor, legislature, and populace is against it, and it still goes through -- then we can surely say that the form of government in this country doesn't work anymore. A total breakdown. It is a republic (or some would call it a democracy) in name only.
I've had that feeling for sometime, but guess I just hate to see it spelled out so distinctly.
Let's seriously be honest here.
The United States currently is only a representative government in the areas where the courts, most notably the USSC, allows it to be.
Jefferson envisioned just this potential problem and wrote quite eloquently about it. To whit, the writer of the Declaration of Independence and third president, explicitly said the courts do not have the power of judicial interpretation - let alone the power of judicial legislation they have taken in recent years.
