Same honestly. The fact that this is even on the ballot as an amendment is a telling sign why amendments that target improving the economics and infrastructure for the state aren’t listed.

I have no problem with the downvotes if someone can explain to me why voting for it is redundant and pointless. What negative would come from voting for it…even if it is redundant?

And yet your governor decided that it wasn’t because “public health emergency “

To me, it’s not that it’s a negative about a person voting ‘for’ the amendment. It’s more irrelevant whether it’s amended or not for this addition

Challenged in court and the court agreed. You have the precedent already

Again, it was challenged and succeeded. The law agrees for future occurrences (hopefully never again)

The fact that there was even a need to challenge means that it apparently wasn’t clear enough. As for big government, at least this went through a freaking amendment process to be voted in by the people as opposed to executive fiat that prompted the need for the amendment in the first place.

This doesn’t stop someone from making the exact same executive order, dumbass. Said EO would still be challenged to the courts that would then decide the exact same way as they did with the pre-existing laws. This is exactly redundant.

Come to think of it, we really should pass a law to outlaw double murder.

Were you as vocally angry about the executive overreach as you are over the redundant law that addressed the executive overreach?

THIS LAW DOESN’T ADDRESS THE EXECUTIVE OVERREACH!

Your problem is with the executive overreach, as is mine. This doesn’t address that, ergo it’s a no vote. We’ve further amended an already bloated constitution.

Has to be ignorance, just try to talk to these people they talk out both sides of their mouth, it’s pretty wild.

And the courts ruled against that decision on the basis of already existing protections.

You must not have been around during Covid when pastors were being arrested for exercising their freedom of worship. This amendment keeps a-holes like JBE from again shuttering churches during so-called “emergencies.”

No more than the First Amendment already does. This was a virtue signal from the legislature who needed to be focusing on real issues like crime, economic issues, and infrastructure.
