“The justices said striking the question from the ballot would have been “unprecedented relief” and that the voters will be “the sole judge of the wisdom of such matters.””

“Ritchie changed the title for the marriage ban from “Recognition of Marriage Solely Between One Man and One Woman” to “Limiting the Status of Marriage to Opposite Sex Couples.””

I don’t like either title, but +1 for the decision.

The court issued a proper smackdown to the Minnesota DFL and the leftist League of Women's Voters:

“The proper role for the judiciary, however, is not to second-guess the wisdom of policy decisions that the constitution commits to one of the political branches,” the court wrote in ruling against the League's petition that the ID ballot question was unfair.

"The Secretary of State exceeded his authority ... when he provided titles different from those passed by the Legislature," the court ruled.
