MODERATORS
Kick it back to the states, they said.
Let the people choose for themselves, they said.
Small government and personal liberties, they said.
Citizen approved ballot measures should override any existing law, unless that was also from a ballot measure.
These measures are directly approved by the citizens instead of indirectly through elected representatives. The citizens have determined this is something they want, regardless of what politicians may have decided previously.
What do you mean unless it was also from a ballot measure? I'd say it should override laws even from a ballot measure since the new ballot measure is more recent, though in that case it would be best to communicate that the new ballot measure is overriding the old one just for clarity sake.
According to Limbaugh, his decision came as a result of the campaign’s “failure to include any statute or provision that will be repealed, especially when many of these statues are apparent”.
Is that a requirement of amendments in Missouri?
What if an amendment doesn't repeal any current statute, but makes new law?
Straight to jail.
What the actual fuck is this? A constitution neither defines nor repeals laws, it defines rights and powers, of the citizenry, and the government. Is there just more to the story that the article isn't covering?
For a narrow definition of law that may be the case.
But it could also be thought of as a set of laws, which specifically govern law-makers.
In this case it's making certain pre-existing statutes illegal, effectively nullifying them.
Why this judge thinks those statues need to be specifically mentioned, I don't understand. As a judge you'd think that would be their job.
A government small enough to fit in your bedroom.
In your pants.
Republicans: "This abortion ammendment will allow for child sex change operations."
Petition filers:"No it won't, it is just make abortion legal again."
Limbaugh: "Because you didn't include the fact that toddlers now can request sex changes, and the changes to the relevant statues that prohibited that, I rule your signature gathering was misleading and I am kicking it off the ballot one day before they start printing them."
Petition filers:"WTF, state supreme court! Limbaugh is treating his crazy delusions as legal fact again!"
I thought activist judges were bad?
Your judges are unelected activists; ours are correcting past errors.
Silly lib

iirc, they have to start printing the ballots by early next week, to comply with deadlines in getting the early ballots out to voters in time. Fucking conservatives trying to run out the clock so that there isn't enough time [oops so sorry] to have the measure on the ballot.
[oops so sorry]
"But don't worry, we'll be sure to put it on the next one for ya" [which just so happens to be a low-turnout election where conservatives will have an advantage]
Pieces of shit. I live in this fucking state and it is excruciatingly painful. 4 out of my five kids live here as well and will be affected by these assholes.
Apparently THIS is where he and other Missourians want to be for the second coming. Noted.
Is that why all hangers are now just more plastic? I used to be able to make little things with the wire. It was malleable but almost spring hardened.
she cute
You aren't wrong
