So, if a State needs to make an amendment or modify one to its Constitution
to address this issue, it does not rest with the voters? Tell me, why
doesn't it or why won't it eventually rest with the voters, at least in some
locations? Do not voters put the officials into office? You referenced a
Supreme Court case, but do not those selected for that Court have to be
confirmed by Congress, and who puts those who do the confirming into office?
Hmmm? You've got quite the attitude, btw. No smiley face here, either. ;-/
