restrict the right of citizens to amend the state constitution.
"We cannot invade the territory of the legislature or the electorate to
review the substantive validity of a proposed initiative, and thereby, we
will honor the maxim embodied in the constitutional mandate of separate of
powers," said Justice Randy Pierce for the court. Full
