This is not a misleading clickbait headline, this is literally what happened. Mississippi citizens passed a medical marijuana amendment and textualist conservative judges overruled it with a reading of the law so asinine that it rendered constitutional amendments by citizens impossible going forward. You have to hear the breakdown to even believe it. In the second segment, Andrew delivers some more real bad news out of the US Supreme Court. You likely heard about the abortion case, but Edwards v. Vannoy is a decision you didn't hear about that does not bode well.

Any chance this is appealable to SCOTUS via the guarantee clause? It's tenuous at best, as I don't think a lack of voter initiative amendments itself renders the state unrepublican, but the argument would be that the unelected MS SC is amending the constitution over the will of the elected legislature (1992 ballot initiative bill).

My dog, Legolas, is half Great Pyrenees, is he Spanish enough to be a colonial Legolasy?
