| A troubling revelation if Bill Schuette were actually the state's attorney general, instead of a full-time candidate for the GOP's 2018 gubernatorial nomination. “The legal reality gives rise to the question that the governor has posed: Is the Board of Canvassers legally obligated to place an unconstitutional proposal on the ballot? As common sense would suggest, the answer is no.”
The problem is that the ballot proposal in question is a constitutional amendment. It can't be unconstitutional, because it would be incorporated into the constitution. If you don't understand this to be the actual "legal reality" of a constitutional amendment, then you probably don't have any business being a state's attorney general. It also has to be noted that the MLive reporter in question doesn't at all mention this in his article. |
