1. You didn't think they'd actually let the people's vote count, did you? n/t

[busterbrown]

2. Different Country...Different circumstances n/t

Sure wish there could be a way that we could get a law which would force congress to at least
acknowledge/discuss President’s choice for Supreme Court.

4. There *is* a way - vote the bums OUT. This is still a government of, by, and for the People, and the

power of the People reside in Congress.

The problem has been, the People haven't been educated on the fact that Congress is the most powerful branch of our 3-branch gov't, since M$M continued to propagate and conflate that the president is the most powerful as head of the most powerful military in the world to his powers as president (which are easily curbed by Congress), creating an illusion that his presidential powers are akin to that of a dictator.

3. It counted when they voted for their representatives. IF parliament can stop BREXIT, that's a GOOD

thing for the British people. Not so good for Putin who was behind the propaganda to get the British to vote for it.

Lots of BAD Propositions in California that have been voted on by California voters (like Prop 187 and Prop 8) and were then found unconstitutional and overturned, and I say good riddance to those horrible propositions that were based on bigotry and confusing language for the average California voter.

The moment it was announced that Parliament has the final say, the pound shot up in value, meaning, if BREXIT succeeds, the pound sterling will crash.

6. The pound sterling will crash

Is exactly what Putin wants. Same here, Putin wants us to crash and burn economically.

7. It goes both ways

Sometimes legislators get it wrong or refuse to address issues that are no longer relevant, wanted/needed and propositions are necessary to force change. Marijuana legalization and euthanasia come to mind. Though those decisions do not invalidate federal law, they often do force change both legally and culturally.

9. Yep. That's why we have Courts. eom

[tymorial]

11. Oh how I love the passive aggressive use of eom

It only exists to be dismissive. Thank you for letting me know that you are not worth my time.

[BlueCaliDem]

17. Whoa -wait! "eom" simply means 'end of message'. I'm sorry you saw it as an attack. eom

[LanternWaste]

15. all this time I'd thought you had better-than-average political knowledge.

Huh, and all this time I'd thought you had better-than-average political knowledge. I guess politics, law and history can be difficult topics people will struggle with.

5. Good

The EU had done a TON of good in Europe

14. Mayday Mayday

It will soon be Mayday for Theresa. Guardian has a great report on today's court victory. It's not over yet but Parliamentary Supremacy has meaning.
