[QUOTE="vvvvvvv, post: 1474375, member: 5151"] That's why the People of Oklahoma have the ability to [URL="http://www.oscn.net/applications/oscn/DeliverDocument.asp?CiteID=84849"]repeal a statute by popular vote[/URL]. People who have the standing to challenge a law may also convince a judge to issue an injunction against such law that the People of Oklahoma do not agree with. The legislature is a check against something like a 51/49 or even a 60/40 majority imposing laws against the rather slim minority. In the event that the fringe minority control the legislature, the ability for the People to file an initiative petition allows an avenue for the majority to check a runaway minority. That is why the legislature should not have the power to refer legislation (other than a Constitutional amendment) to the public ballot. In doing so, they are bypassing an important check on government. [/QUOTE]
