A ballot question to enshrine Nevada’s abortion rights in the state constitution has met all of the requirements to appear in front of voters in November, the Nevada Secretary of State’s office announced Friday, and Democrats across the nation hope similar measures mobilize supporters on Election Day.
A. State Legislature writes laws and they are passed when the executive branch (governor) signs them B. State supreme court determines if laws that have been passed are legal (if challenged). They don’t write laws. C. They already had the voters decide in 2020. It passed and the legislature refused to follow through and said “no, we’re not gonna do that”
So what’s going to stop SD from doing the same thing this time?
Semantics. Congress writes bills. The Governor signs it into law.
It’s true that the Supreme Court doesn’t write laws. I was wrong to write that. They interpret law, and in this case they are supporting constitutional enshrinement if the ballot measure gets a 60% vote.
I don’t see that constitutional enshrinement on the 2020 ballot. Do you have a link?
