commenting on whether or not it should be legalized.

You seem to say that since the majority want it, it should be immune from being over turned.

What if 74% wanted to take away voting rights from women. Should the court overturn that?

     What a ***** - Panthera MU - 7/9 09:27:09
     Why the lol? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:13:04
          See ummms post below - meatiger MU - 7/9 09:19:43
               So is it your contention if enough people want to do - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:21:38
                    which boundaries of the law is the initiative outside of? - ashtray UF - 7/9 09:28:44
                    No - meatiger MU - 7/9 09:28:06
                         Where did the court not do its job? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:29:43
                              It was a technicality - meatiger MU - 7/9 09:31:46
                                   So you clearly don't understand the difference between the - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:32:26
                                        What is the difference when it comes to enforcement of - ummmm MU - 7/9 09:48:56
                                             Law enforcement has discretion on when or when not - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:49:48
                                                  How were their dissenting judges in this opinion?? - ummmm MU - 7/9 09:52:22
                                                       Because people have differing views on the law - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:55:57
                                                            Differing views on the law and how it applies = discretion.(nm) - ummmm MU - 7/9 09:59:02
                                                                 And for the third time, they do have some discretion - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:59:58
                                                                      Judges do that ALL THE TIME. - ummmm MU - 7/9 10:01:23
                                                                           Justices created a right to privacy out of nothing - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:02:26
                                                                                Yeah, but they did it. (nm) - ummmm MU - 7/9 10:03:10
                                                                                     And some CFO's embezzle from their company - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:05:31
                                                                                          Bad analogy. The right of privacy that was concocted by - ummmm MU - 7/9 10:09:37
                                                                                               The point being bad practice does not make the practice - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:12:38
                                                                                                    they don't stop cars for going 71 in a 70 only because - ashtray UF - 7/9 10:49:02
                                                                                                    Where is this discretion given?(nm) - meatiger MU - 7/9 10:13:31
                                                                                                         In their role as law enforcement - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:15:27
                                                                                                              Where is it written? - ummmm MU - 7/9 10:16:09
                                                                                                                   What part of judges having certain discretion don't you get? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:17:58

                                                  You don't think judges have discretion? - ummmm MU - 7/9 09:51:43
                                                       I said elsewhere they have discretion - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:56:45
                                                            Judges do that all the time. Just like your cool sheriff. - ummmm MU - 7/9 10:00:38
                                                                 My cool sheriff is not a judge - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:03:05
                                                                      same oath of office, i think(nm) - gmmm98 MU - 7/9 12:46:44
                                                                      Interestingly, you would probably call the Sheriff a "law - ummmm MU - 7/9 10:04:33
                                                                           The judge's role is not law enforcement - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:07:50
                                                                                Everywhere else in this thread, you keep saying that the - ummmm MU - 7/9 10:11:16
                                                                                     It is part of the law enforcement process - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:14:23

                                                                                               See below - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:20:49
                                                                                               I read that wrong - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:19:45
                                                                                                    The point does not remain. - ummmm MU - 7/9 10:23:40
                                                                                                         No idea why he can't admit that - meatiger MU - 7/9 11:03:05
                                                                                It is called law enforcement - meatiger MU - 7/9 10:11:03
                                                                                     You just made me laugh out loud again - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:15:52
                                                                                          As you should - meatiger MU - 7/9 11:03:51
                                                            The question is not about popular opinion - meatiger MU - 7/9 09:57:49
                                                                 The OP brought the 74% into the dicussion - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:59:14
                                        so if a police officer arrests me - meatiger MU - 7/9 09:34:59
                                             So you don't understand the roles of the legislative branch, - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:38:17
                                                  What cracks me up is your definition of law and order - meatiger MU - 7/9 09:41:07
                                                       The sheriff had discretion on when to make an arrest - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:47:05
                                                            and a judge has discretion on whether the intent of the law - ashtray UF - 7/9 10:53:17
                                                            That is not LAW and ORDER - meatiger MU - 7/9 09:51:19
                                                                 It most certainly is - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:58:18
                                                                      Barney Fife is a fictional character - meatiger MU - 7/9 10:09:49
                                                                           And he was included for a reason - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 10:16:56

                    the entire farce - SwampTiger MU - 7/9 09:20:22
                         So you are in favor of courts interpreting laws by means - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:23:22

                                   No it is not - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:26:24
                                        You find that admirable? - meatiger MU - 7/9 09:29:06
                                             The court has a job to do - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:30:48
                                                  So the court should not use discretion? - meatiger MU - 7/9 09:32:35
                                                       There are differences in discretion - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 7/9 09:33:39

                                                                      Why should a court not have that same discretion? - meatiger MU - 7/9 09:42:30
