    There is no law in Washington state. On Friday, the Seattle
    Supreme Court — formerly the Washington State Supreme Court
    –killed it. The so-called justices killed the law because they
    are left-wing activist, arrogant, lying hacks. They hate guns,
    they hate gun owners, solely due to those factors they
    unanimously approved Initiative I-1639. The so-called court
    openly defied the clear and simple language of Washington state
    law. The so-called judges killed the law.

    This is a serious matter. If King County voters press I-1639
    upon Washington state, gun owners will have a moral obligation
    to refuse to comply. We will not be breaking the law because, in
    Washington state, there is no law.

    Proof that it is literally impossible to contend I-1639 is legal
    The law says initiatives in our state must contain the clear,
    complete language of the proposed legislation. Here, in plain
    language, is the Secretary of State’s website explaining that
    requirement.

    State law requires that petitions contain certain information,
    including the full text of the measure. This includes a ballot
    title and summary, written by either the Attorney General or a
    Superior Court judge, and other required information. The full
    text is usually printed on the back of the petition. Sometimes
    petition circulators attach the petitions to clip boards in
    order to make them easier to sign or easier for the circulator
    to handle. Sometimes the full petition or the full text of the
    proposal might be folded over or on the back. You should feel
    free to read any part of the petition that you think is
    necessary in order for you to make up your mind, even if that
    means unfolding it or removing it from a clip board.

    The billionaires behind I-1639 — at least two of whom apparently
    enjoy armed guards for themselves — didn’t bother to put the
    full text of the measure on the initiatives people signed: it-is-
    not-there. That is not even questionable. There is the proposed
    law and there is what people signed: the two documents are-not-
    the-same. Here, used with the permission of WeTheGoverned.com,
    is the initiative people signed. The red ink indicates where the
    language has been altered, ignored or changed. This is-not-the-
    full-text of the measure.

    The so-called justices need to know this: You can kill the law
    but, in so doing, you kill the moral requirement to follow your
    diktat
    This is not a judicial ruling, it is a diktat. In openly defies
    the law. The Seattle Supreme Court has not only killed the law,
    they have handed the citizens of Washington state a moral
    obligation to ignore this diktat. The so-called justices may
    have power, but they have killed their standing as arbiters of
    the law. If I-1639 passes, most gun owners will defy it. We will
    say to the Seattle Supreme Court and the rest of the one-party
    apparatus of the state: “we are not breaking the law because
    there is no law–you killed it.”
