The WR has said very clearly that any proposed referendum would be cleared through a federal judge to ensure that it is constitutinal. Banning gay marriage, banning abortion, rounding up transgendered and putting them in concentration camps and any other silly scenario that the PC's can think up would not be constitutional therefore no referendum.
Please stop parroting the PC fear campaign.

Not saying Danielle is going to use it, but its a tool out there. So clearly a federal judge can be made irrelevant. Also I'm not voting PC so I could care less what they say. I'm looking at this from the perspective of an independent person, not that I expect to be able to convince Wildrose supporters otherwise.
