“The people are the fountain and the original of all power” - John Adams.
The people themselves, when necessary can act as a legislature. There is nothing improper about them taking the responsiblity of making laws themselves.
The power to make laws is delegated to legislatures by the people. They have every authority to take it back from them, and instead of having others act in their stead, act themselves.
That is true. I was not raising questions about the constitutionality or the legality of the process.
Politically, it seems shortsighted to approve of such a process because it can just as easily (as it most often does) produce opposite outcomes than what conservatives believe in. Oregon assisted suicide? Medical pot in CA?
