I'm glad the fed judge did this, but how does he have jurisdiction in matters of nevada law?

Don't know exactly. But I would say that the Constitution's requirement that the Federal government make sure that each State has a republican form of government could apply.

The Supreme Court of Nevada basically took dictatorial powers and rewrote the Constitution of Nevada to suit it. It appears they overruled and nullified a specific and clear technical mandate by the Constitution in order to satisfy a more hazy and malleable amendment that conflicted with it but was more favorable to their personal ideas on social policy. Thats not a republican form of government.

I have learned that the feds are involved because the legislators have standing in that they are being denied their vote.

See post #40. Also, some links provided show the complaint itself and some relevant information regarding the 2/3 requirement.

ANother poster said that "exceptions have been made" to the 2/3 requirement, but he did not elaborate on what the exceptions were, nor did he indicate that it had any bearing here.

Maybe he'll respond.
