Referendum to remove any federal law from the books by popular vote. 51% removes the law. It should be hard to make laws and easy to get rid of them, not the other way around.
- gte910h 16y agoHell with 51%, try something like 40%.
- billswift 16y agoOr even 20%. Think about it, if 1 out of every 5 people really dislikes a law, do you actually think it is likely to be a good law?
- MoreMoschops 16y agoSo what happens when 20% of the population want, for example, anti-discrimination laws repealed? You will always be able to find enough idiots to reach 20% - hell, polls that say "Are you alive?" always manage a few percent in the "don't know" box. Look at dirt poor people voting against inheritance taxes. Some shiny media personality will always be able to garner 20%.
