Some judges give me rulings

David Postman reports the Washington Supreme Court let stand a lower court ruling regarding the constitutionality of Tim Eyman's I-776.

A quick look back at I-776, courtesy the web site of the Municpal Research and Services Center of Washington:

This measure would require license tab fees of $30 per year for cars, sport utility vehicles, motorcycles, motor homes, and light trucks. It would also repeal certain laws allowing local governments to impose taxes or fees on motor vehicles for transportation purposes, including voter-approved excise taxes on vehicles for high capacity transportation services. The measure states that the people expect bonds previously issued for light rail to be retired using reserve funds and other sources.

You can head over to Postman's to read parts of the majority opinion. Eyman can't seem to write constitutional initiatives, big surprise.

But you can't help but laugh at what Postman noticed in Richard Sander's lone dissent. Note the footnote.

In principle, I admire the Lochnerian rigor with which the majority defends the sanctity of contractual obligation. Lochner v. New York, 198 U.S.45, 25 S. Ct. 539, 49 L. Ed. 937 (1905). Unfortunately, its proposed remedy finds no support in the law. In contracts, as in love, "you can't always get what you want," but the law of remedies ensures "you get what you need."8

Eyman supporters must be Shattered.
