The point of the essay is to suggest that maybe the reason we have been plagued with Democrat majorities in the Senate and Assembly for decades is because conservatives believe they can right some of the wrongs that their legislators create through the initiative process.

We now know that this will never happen. Any time a conservative proposition passes it will now be challenged in court and our Democrat leaders will fail to defend it. If any private citizen tries to carry the challenge through the courts he will be denied for "lack of standing".

The good news is that the progressive, democratic, mob-mentality initiative process is dead.

The bad news is that we now have to get off our collective behinds and work to get some Republicans, or at least pro-business Democrats, elected.

Where are you getting your information from? The initiative process is alive and doing well in the Peoples Republic of California.
