    This will likely be on our ballot in '12. I hope MN will be the first state to reject one of these bullshit initiatives, but I doubt it. I just don't understand how there isn't some judicial review for constitutionality before initiatives are put onto the ballot. Maybe there's a way to get this one tied up in litigation and it won't make it on the 2012 ballot. Only a simple majority is needed in both houses and in the general election so if no legal action stops it, it will pass. :frowning2:

    Maybe on the positive side, more fair minded democrats will turn out to remove the repubs. from their state positions and re-elect President Obama.
