OT...Leading Question: What belongs in a constitution?

by Hoot @, Diversityville, Liberal-sota, Monday, October 22, 2012, 15:58 (4361 days ago)

Specifically a state constitution.

The reason I ask is a referendum is coming up this November and I am troubled more by the proposal to include it in the state constitution than by how the two sides of the question are being 'sold'. I will withhold the actual question for now so as not to taint any answers.

I appreciate any and all comments.

Thanks!

As little as possible...

I dunno, it might be. Judging by the guy in the White House, we lost.

My thinking as well

There are several on the ballot here in Michigan and none of them are a good idea unless you belong to a couple small, powerful, special interest groups.
