princess1981t20 asked:

Should a State Supreme Court have the right to overturn a law that the people of the state voted overwhelmingly for? I thought this was a “Government of the people, by the people, for the people” but apperently Lincon was worng.
It was a state constitutional amendment that was voted into law by the people of the state.

      The law they want those laws must comply with the law and therefore can be unconstitutional by 60 of the constitution if they want those laws.
