I liked Rush's thought on this: now that the fleebaggers have returned, vote on it again. What, will they run away again? Let 'em.
But yes, I knew this was going to immediately end up in court. It doesn't matter how solid the ground is under it, this is Leftist Delaying Tactic #11. Get it bogged down in court so the left wing propaganda machine has more time and a new angle on the story.
The judicial branch of government has gotten completely out of hand. The left spent decades focusing their efforts on the courts, because a branch of government that embodies its power in the fiat decisions of individuals (who are seldom directly accountable to the people) is made to order for their agenda. They knew then, and they know now, that the real meat of their agenda would not pass through legislative action anywhere between Boston and Berkeley, so voila, turn the courts into a Shadow Legislature.
It's yet further evidence that behind all their pretenses to democracy, the Left believe in tyranny. They want power vested in a handful of individuals, unencumbered by checks and balances. Their fetish for using the courts to divine novel interpretations of law is proof positive.
