It had already been known that the U.S. Supreme Court conference of February 16 would be considering 3 different election law cases (the conference is where the Court decides which cases to hear). But now a fourth case has been added to the February 16 conference. It is Initiative & Referendum Institute v Herbert, 06-534. The issue is whether a state that has the initiative process can “fence out” initiatives on one particular narrow topic and require that initiatives on that one subject need a 2/3rds vote to pass (when all other statutory initiatives only need a majority). Utah has such a provision for initiatives dealing with wildlife.
