Appeal the ballot title to the Supreme Court

Post by samiaseo222 »

The first clause is wholly inaccurate as the Initiative merely seeks toengages in, “...any deliberate violation of the law, fraud or conspiracy, intentional due process of law, deliberate disregard of material facts, judicial acts without jurisdiction, blocking a lawful conclusion of a case, or any deliberate violation of the Constitution of Idaho or the United States.”

The second clause is inexpertly written so as to mislead the public with the inference that the special grand jury will review the decisions and actions of all the cases upon which judges preside -- a preposterous notion that cannot be extracted from the text of the Initiative.

According to JIC Rose Johnson, your office was phone number list contacted immediately upon receipt of the ballot titles and notified of the incorrect interpretation of the Initiative as published on the long and short ballot titles. Johnson said that Deputy Attorney General Brian Kane indicated that she may have a legitimate complaint, but that the Attorney General's office would not fix the language. He told Johnson that she had to formally appeal the ballot title language to the Supreme Court as provided in statute.

One would expect that if an environment of cooperation was being fostered by your office and the language in the short title and in clauses one and two were an honest mistake, Kane would have offered to fix the language to accurately reflect the Initiative. However, he refused.
