Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Co. v. Oregon

  • ... that in Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Co. v. Oregon, decided 110 years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the initiative process? Source: Miller, pg. 34: "As a practical matter, Pacific States protected state and local initiative and referendum processes from legal challenge on federal constitutional grounds, an outcome widely interpreted to bestow constitutional legitimacy on the new devices. Individual initiatives or referenda could face legal challenge, but the constitutional validity of the processes themselves was now secure."
