So the champagne is flowing this weekend as opponents of Tax and Spending Control celebrate the question's ouster from the ballot, courtesy of the state Supreme Court. But I wouldn't be celebrating so fast. The fury this development will generate among the conservative faithful will be significant. And it will play into all the conspiracy theories about elected judges being influenced by their contributors, who wanted it booted. But I suppose it's better for Democrats than having a rallying point on the ballot for the right wing. But now all these folks who lobbied to have the question removed from the ballot have a new task: Saving Justices Nancy Becker and Michael Douglas. Drink up, people. There's work to do.
