Captain's Quarters on the NYT and California Initiatives

Ed Morrissey at Captain's Quarters delivers a much-deserved smackdown to the New York Times' elitist criticism of the California initiative process.

Sometimes California voters get it wrong, but over the years we have used the initiative process to pass some important laws when our representatives refused to act themselves -- Proposition 13 (property tax protection) and Proposition 22 (defining marriage between a man and a woman) being just two examples.

I'll be glad when Tuesday comes and our phone stops ringing with political advertisements!
