re: #99 Aceofwhat?

Well, when they come up with a law that is radically different than what the representatives would have produced, one could argue that the democracy isn’t very representative.

And they don’t have any more right to be unconstitutional than any other law, right?

I do get the part about the poor wording, though. Passing a law via confusion is just all kinds of wrong.

We already have a system by which we pass laws. Ballot initiatives are a populist sham. In Oregon and Washington, many of these lunatic laws passed by ballot initiative are declared unconstitutional.

Here is how the system works: if your rep makes laws you don’t like? You vote them out, and vote in a different rep. That is how the real system works. That’s how adults do it.
