I wouldn’t have a problem with judicial review not existing except in cases of ballot initiatives where this law exists solely because we need to bypass our legislative body.
It’s a tricky problem for sure, but I was responding specifically to the portion I quoted.
Ultimately, elections are a far better method for dealing with a legislature that openly violates constitutional mandate. An unelected judiciary is as likely to side with the legislature as they are with the constitution or the people. (Just look at our national Supreme Court.) I really hope the voter activism caries through in this case.
