Article Title
The People Drunk or the People Sober - Direct Democracy Meets the Supreme Court of Florida
Abstract
The merits of the initiatives discussed or their validity under the Constitution of the United States are not concerns of this article. Nor, with one or two exceptions, 3 does it address the strengths and weaknesses of the initiative process in Florida. Rather, this article takes that process as it finds it and asks whether the Supreme Court has manipulated it so as to eliminate proposals seen as threats to responsible and effective government or civil liberties. The topic is usurpation.
