For all the times a vote in California gets ruled as “unconstitutional”, I wouldn’t be surprised if the same thing happens in NM. It’s embarrassing how often voters get overruled in our democratic republic.

“It’s embarrassing” is putting it way too kindly. I suppose it is embarrassing that so many of our elected officials are so devoid of principles that they openly create ‘law’ in defiance of what their constituents want in favor of a small minority of special interests that will handsomely reward them by filling their wallets and purses with ‘campaign’ contributions and other perks.

It is actually more along the lines of disgusting and even criminal, that they would not only reward illegal activity, but by doing such, are contributing to the downfall and destruction of this once great nation. Things like this used to be called tyranny or sedition. Now, with the help of the complicit and exempt media, through a wink and a nod, such behavior is rewarded. It does not take a rocket scientist from Sandia Labs or Los Alamos to see ahead that this will lead to more lawlessness and ultimately, the downfall of our nation. But hey, that’s the libtards plan.

unless good men decide to take up arms, lawlessness and evil will continue to steamroll. Doesn’t take an intellectual, a historian or a sociologist to know this.

NM voters cannot initiate repeal of the law. See #18.

(BTW, I believe citizen initiatives that bypass the legislature usually result in poor law mainly due to emotion involved with an issue. That’s why we have legislatures where debate [in theory] should result is a more perfect result.)
