re: #884 torrentprime

That would be true if and only if the DC Charter allows minority rights to be removed or reduced by simple-majority referenda. Roberts thinks this has some force. What do you think?

Disagree. The DC Charter may prevent the legislation from exempting any legislation from the referendum mechanism.

Where does anyone come out and say “minority rights”?

The charter says that referendums are permitted. It MAY be the case that the legislature cannot override that permission through the bill in question.

Infer “minority rights trampling” from that, if you wish, but don’t ascribe it to Roberts.
