South Dakota: 40,000 pinheads, no waiting
D sends us this great summary of a story we've been watching for awhile. South Dakotans face this come November:
But better times aren't coming back soon. The newest front in the war on the courts is being fought in South Dakota, where, in the shadow of Mt. Rushmore, a group called "J.A.I.L. 4 Judges" is promoting one of the most radical threats to justice this side of the Spanish Inquisition. It's extreme and it's incoherent, but it's got more than 40,000 petition signatures—and it will go to the state's voters as a constitutional amendment in November. A national network of supporters is waiting in the wings, threatening to export the revolution to other states if they do well this fall.
The leader of JAIL 4 Judges is pissed off because the Supreme Court wouldn't hear his appeal of a parking ticket and because Prince refuses to write a theme song for the group.

"I believe I have been called of God to lead in the cause of judicial accountability."
Yes, of course. I expected nothing less.
These pretzels are making me thirsty!
Sorry, living in SD is driving me crazy.

This amendment will not pass this November. Everybody I'm talking to doesn't want groups outside of the state meddling in our business.
The group out of Wisconsion starting the petition to refer the abortion legislation could cause problems for Planned Parenthood of SD if they want to try to refer the issue.
