on some level i always prefer a nice ass-kicking in the voting booth (tacoma 2004, anyone?) reminding the forces of bigotry where to shove it, but at the same time the petition was poorly constructed and did not meet the construction requirements of an initiative to the people under Montgomery County law (Montgomery County Code at § 16-16).

so yeah, it's the judiciary saying where to shove it, but...a victory is a victory. i just fear the genitalia-obsessed will rewrite it and try again after they've learned how to write an initiative correctly. ah, the pants police.
