  • On Friday, Cole County Circuit Judge Christopher Limbaugh ruled that the proposed Amendment 3 should be removed from the November ballot because it does not specify which specific anti-abortion laws it would repeal. (Advocates say that exact laws for repeal would be determined by future lawsuits.)

    Why does a constitutional amendment need to specify what laws it repeals? I don’t believe there is any legal merit to that. That would only ever apply to anything within the constitution itself (e.g. 21st US Constitutional Amendment). Any contradictory laws found after the ratification of an amendment would then be declared unconstitutional by the legislature or judicial system and removed that way.
