Assault on democracy!

Initiatives must meet certain legal requirements. Whether legal requirements were satisfied gets hashed out in courts under our system.
Civics ain't your strength.

It was vetted by before it went on the ballot. And the people voted for it

This bullshit is what goose stepper is defending
Their analysis argues the measure violates provisions limiting citizen initiatives to no more than one subject and requiring them to contain the full text of the portion of state laws it would alter.
Lane said Initiative 2066 was carefully crafted with such a challenge in mind and that every section addresses protecting the choice to access and use natural gas.
“Those who want to ban natural gas have been clear in their intent to use every avenue available to undermine Washington’s democracy and the people of Washington’s right to initiative,” Lane sai

Commie groups can challenge. It's the state using the voters money to overturn an election that's the issue

Madam, less than 40% of Americans even live in a state which allows citizen initiatives. Washington's Constitution authorizes citizen initiatives but imposes specific conditions and requirements on them. Whatever the Hell you meant by the saying the initiative was already "vetted", why would anyone bother to challenge an initiative's legality before it has actually passed? (Pre-election challenges are usually concerned with whether the initiative has met the requirements for being on the ballot.)

I seem to remember that once upon a time the Washington state Constitution prohibited a graduated tax on income. So, the state passed a graduated capital gains tax on income from the sale of capital assets. The wizards on the Washington Supreme Court then decided that the tax was not a tax on income but rather an excise tax on income from the sale of capital assets. Thus, no income tax and no Constitutional prohibition. Sort of like the US Supreme Court ruling that the mandate to buy health insurance was not a mandate but a punitive excise tax. The written language and intent is not important to an evolving organic Constitution that can be divined by progressive legal scholars including the spineless Chief Justice.

The word salad appears as the lawyer doesn't know that initiatives need to be approved to get on the ballot.

Wrong!

The current governor elect (allegedly) wrote the language that appeared on the ballot and was approved by voters. He butchered the language on the other three that were rejected.
