| RightMichigan.com has done alot of work attempting to get to the source of whether a new monstrosity to attack the Constitution is a "real" effort. The signs are mixed, but the petition itself sure is dangerous. It changes dozens of sections of the Constitution, in a process called "log-rolling". It takes 12 pages of fine print to finish its brutal gutting of our current Constitutional protections. I counted at least 19 changes, but only quickly by looking at the number of sections changed and without a fine tooth comb. But the sponsors aren't talking, and if real are trying to slip one in past the goalie, so to speak. Here's yet another sign of who's sponsoring it. It adds a clause to include "enactment of laws for the prevention and punishment of election and petition fraud," to Article II, Section 4. Sound like someone against MCRI might have written that? The problem here is not in the words - its how and who later gets to define those words. "Preventing and punishing" ... "fraud" certainly seems like a nice thing - and would be if the words are given plain meaning - but when "fraud" means anything you disagree with it becomes a dangerous tool in the hands of an overzealous govenrment. And I doubt Democrats or the sponsors of this bill plan on prosecuting election fraud in, say, the City of Detroit. They mean something else. The rest of petition seeks to "stack" both the Senate and most sinisterly Michigan Supreme Court, selectively reducing each body's size in a way that would clearly benefit the Democrat Regime of Mark Brewer. |
