Conservatives - at least most of them - are not offended by judicial review (although some decidedly non-conservatives like Mark Tushnet are) nor is it accurate to advocacy of judicial restraint or textualism or public meaning originalism to a simple principle of deference to the popular branches. The question is on what basis the injunction was sought and granted. Without knowing that, I can't say whether its correct or not. It probably has to do with whether a city has the authority to regulate wages and I haven't given it enough thought to have an opinion.
Also instructive about the seperation of powers and checks and balances in our government. As in, whatever the people want can be overruled by any branch at any time.

ReplyDeleteGood book.
ReplyDeleteJust until a ruling on the issue is made. Sounds like a smart ruling to me.
ReplyDeleteMe too. I agree MMAC's likelihood of success on the merits is strong.
ReplyDeleteMy post is actually more of an admittedly facetious comment on the State Supreme Court election.
