Unfortunately, too many voters are easily lead to believe that saying "no" to a government mandate means opposing something -- e.g., health care -- that could be more readily obtained privately without interference from bureaucrats and politicians. Who knows when the Supreme Court will rule; since they answer to no one and are subject to no deadlines. I expected them to rule sometime shortly after the election.

Today's Denver Post highlighted the debate in the Senate. In my opinion our elected representatives have an insatiable need for our taxes to redistribute for votes. The only way to stop them is with TABOR and other limits. When do you expect our Supreme Court to rule on Ritter's property tax grab and what should we voters do to stop the the Democrats from doing another illegal end run around the tax and spend limits in the law?
