Rachel Maddow discussed Michigan court ruling to put Michigan emergency manager ruling on the ballot

This is great news. Michigan has decided to have a referendum concerning whether all citizens of the their state will get to enjoy democracy or maybe voting has become just a passe idea. Unfortunately, the pro-democratic elements will start ten points down and you can rest assured that tons of dirty money will be coming to Michigan to flood the state with confusing and misleading commercials. This was the same ballot initiative that the supporters collected about twice the number of signatures they needed to put this on the ballot but it was turned down because the signatures were given to them, I kid you not, in the wrong font size. This is likely going to be the next big fight for labor and local control and it will determine whether America will continue on its descent from democracy and back to its monarchy roots or whether this course can be reversed.
