I was taking a day off when the 27-page ruling from King County Superior Court judge Bruce Heller came down. In a nutshell Heller said the Constitution lays out a simple majority requirement for passing legislation, which renders I-1053’s two-thirds supermajority requirement unlawful, and he thinks a constitutional amendment is the only way to change the rules. But the first political reaction from I-1053 supporters wasn’t – oh shucks, maybe Eyman and his initiative overreached; after all, that kind of thing has happened with Eyman before. Instead it was of the how-dare-they-reject-what-the-voters-want theme. The hidden logic: wanting something to be true makes it true.
