Crappy, crappy lawyer strikes out again.

Meanwhile, another Eyman 2/3rds initiative is headed our way, utilizing the novel 'Candyman' theory of constitutionality.

I can't wait to see what happens to Eyman's industry if the State Supreme Court shuts down the 2/3 requirement. It will de facto be gone forever under Washington State law then, correct?

Will he be reduced to running really specific tax cuts and measures, like the $30 tabs then?

I fully support taking this BS law to court, but with the Dems too timid to make the case aggressively for the need for taxes/revenue/public services, it could be a legal win and a political nightmare. They could win the case, but end up losing the Legislature because they've just handed the Republicans awesome faux-populist talking points. Not a reason good enough not to do it, but a reason to go hard on the Good Government messaging after (hopefully) the Court strikes Eyman's law down.

If it's declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court it will be gone, but Eyman won't. He isn't a one-issue cottage industry.

If I were the Governor (hah!), and if the case hasn't been decided by then, I'd call the Legislature into special session at 8:01pm on November 6, and get them to pass some real revenue enhancement legislation.

I can't imagine that the Supremes could request briefs, schedule oral argument, and decide the case before Election Day.

Die Hard 2012...

The state Constitution is pretty clear.
