Where do you get that info? I'm not trying to be confrontational, I'm just trying to learn more about the situation.
Based on comments around the election period on the state constitution...a number of folks made observations that the constitution wouldn’t allow such an episode to occur...so the court would knock it down. Whoever wrote this voter-idea...knew that without any doubt. This was simply to waste time and delay things.
“It sounds from the article like a state-law issue. If thats so, US Supreme Court wouldnt get involved.”
Other than recalling the scoundrels, what options do the voters have? This really is ridiculous.
Do they have the recall in Hawaii?
obvious, right? for some reason, this doesn't happen... "the people" keep sending the same officials back... it's a phenomenon...
Don’t know. Hope so.
Must be not enough people know what the officials have been doing to them, instead of for them. Folks who want to live there need to either like it, fight it, or leave. I say this as a former Californian. I didn’t like the way California was going, and saw that I couldn’t stop it, so I left. I don’t know if Hawaii’s problems have reached the point where it’s time to leave or not. I do know that the Internet has given people like you and I a brand new way to get such messages out. If it had existed back then, I might not have given up.
You'd think that would be easy with bonehead decisions like this one. Not so - this state will elect a dead woman and a senile old man before they'll vote someone out of office.
But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism...
