As the New York Times and other outlets are reporting, a Fulton County Superior Court judge, Constance Russell, yesterday struck down the constitutional amendment passed by Georgia voters in 2004. It seems that, according to the judge, the referendum violated the state constitutionโs rule that amendments be on a single subject. I canโt find that Judge Russellโs opinion is posted anywhere online, nor does it yet appear on Lexis-Nexis. If any readers have a link (or the opinion in electronic form), Iโd appreciate them sending it to me here, with my thanks in advance.
