There’s a movie showing on cable now, Idiocracy , that is based in the distant future when everything — and everyone — has been so dumbed down that the president is an ex-wrestler (the photo here shows his motorcade). And crops are watered with a green substance containing electrolytes. Our editorial today outlines a fairly complex topic. Gary did a great job explaining it, and be sure to read it here.
But here’s the “Idiocracy introduction”: The Washington Supreme Court made a big decision last week, believe it. It involves taxes and lots of other important stuff. And Tim Eyman’s in it, too, dudes.

Here’s a non-Idiocracy excerpt:

But ever since I-601 was enacted 14 years ago, every legislature has been bound by its handcuffs. The Supreme Court has declined to address this seeming contradiction. It’s imperative that the court decide this once and for all, because the success of I-601 has given birth to several progeny, the latest being Initiative 960, which state voters approved this month. Sponsor Tim Eyman has assured voters that this additional shackle on lawmakers is on firm legal ground, because it is based on I-601.
But what if I-601 is unconstitutional?
