Posted on: Quietly, Reid works to void term limits

Before Mr. Reid & Co. get too far with this little scheme, they might do well to remember what the state Supreme Court pulled a few years back when a pesky amendment, duly approved by the voters, was trashed as a matter of expediency to get a budget passed. The Supremes managed to unintentionally enact their own version of term limits by their actions. They are gone.

Perhaps Mr. Miller can find a loophole to launch this effort, but at the end of the day, what the voters wanted and intended will still be undeniably the same. I would hope the response of the voters to any such effort would be the same one the Supreme Court got.
