MADCO's Vindication (Pending); TABOR is Headed to Court

(I’ve long alleged that Doug Bruce was an anarchist, not a conservative, and TABOR was his bomb. – promoted by Aristotle)

Imagine my surprise this morning when I saw huge news on a site for talking about dead squirrels and saw nothing of it here.

TABOR is being challenged in court at long last. Turns out MADCO’s rants may have been read, or maybe he read someone else’s. I don’t know. In any event, the 1992 constitutional amendment is said by the plaintiffs to be unconstitutional.

The suit alleges that it violates the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee of a small-R “republican” government where elected representatives make decisions on behalf of voters.

There are currently no good guesses on whether or not the bi-partisan group of plaintiffs will be successful, the last case making this argument was over 100 years ago and the SCOTUS “punted” on this specific issue.

This decision could ultimately impact every citizen initiative ever passed, from mandating education spending to gay marriage. That’s for a brilliant legal mind to dissect.

Meanwhile, could the lack of coverage and the suit itself be more proof that the world really did start to end on Saturday?
