Nevada Court Nullifies Nevada Constitution

Nevada Supreme Court Goes Nuts

I cannot believe the audacity and willfulness of the Nevada Supreme Court. It set aside the Nevada Constitutional Amendment which required a supermajority to raise taxes. It decided that the need to fund the budget was more important than the TWICE stated will of the people of Nevada. Rather than finding a way to CUT the budget and make up the difference that way, they decided to become legislatures and chjange the Nevada Consitution by fiat. What's next? The Court will decide that a sudden and protracted health care crises can only be treated by their devine word as well? "All doctors and nurses must work for free . . . because we need it and it doesn't matter what you want"? Read on.

CONSTITUTIONAL RULING: Court paves way for new taxes

U.S. Rep. Jim Gibbons, R-Nev., the author of the initiative petition that put the two-thirds requirement for tax increases in the state constitution, expressed outrage at the decision.

'Today, the Nevada Supreme Court wilfully ignored the wishes of more than 70 percent of Nevadans who twice voted in favor of requiring a two-thirds majority to pass a tax increase,' Gibbons said in a prepared statement. 'The court failed to protect the will of the people of Nevada and has denigrated our state's constitution and political process.'
