Political Courts blocking Democracy?
Examiner.Com covers: Court: Measure Can't Be on Colo. Ballot. Courts denied the people the right to put an amendment on the ballot for November's elections. Judicial activism is growing from both sides of the aisle, but, when it acts to block the people's democracy, we have gone many steps too far.
In a dissent, Justices Nathan Coats and Nancy Rice expressed concern that the court's majority decision was influenced by the motives of the measure's proponents and by its potential effects.They said the court has inconsistently applied the single-subject requirement, giving justices "unfettered discretion to either approve or disapprove virtually any popularly initiated ballot measure at will."
