Outside the bounds? So your problem is with Roberts taking up this (non) case?

Is it possible for 100% of voters to pass a state constitutional amendment and yet be dismissed by the Supreme Court? (Hint: segregation) And why just states? Why can't a county pass laws that are outside the bounds of the Judical Branch?

So, the problem can't be the Supreme Court can declare voter driven legislation unconstitutional, right? So what is it?

Where you could be arguing this is on the "new" interpretation and excessive use of the equal protection clause. It would at least a nuanced argument.


Where's the "voter driven legislation that's unconstitutional" here; Cart before the horse and all that....To be clear: for all the states that had yet to weigh in, Roberts (and myself) are saying there is no longer an option....But, hey- since they are all idiots anyway- let's go ahead and skip that bothersome process.
