Chief Justice Robert Young of the Michigan Supreme Court released a statement this afternoon discussing how the Rule of Law judicial philosophy compelled his, and his Rule of Law colleagues', decisions regarding the various ballot proposals. In addition to the Court's opinion itself (authored by Justice Brian Zahra) it is an interesting companion piece.
In particular, Young concisely and persuasively explains why the Court's decision was proper, even if conservatives may feel some disappointment that proposals that represent bad policy will make it to the ballot this November.
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Rule of Law.
