re: #886 Aceofwhat?

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”?

Roberts is careful to avoid admitting what would be impacted by his logic, I agree.

The core of this is that both by constitutional protection and by explicit actions of the DC Council, referenda should not be submitted to the people that will result in (illegal) discrimination. Roberts says as long as the “process” is followed, he’s ok with such referenda. I am not. I don’t think the US Constitution is either, but that’s really the entire point of the Olson/Boies lawsuit, isn’t it?
