Vote "Yes" for State Constitutional Amendment No. 2.

What you will see on the ballot:

"To provide the Supreme Court jurisdiction to answer questions of law from federal courts. (House Resolution No. 68): Shall the Constitution be amended so as to provide that the Supreme Court shall have jurisdiction and authority to answer questions of law from any state appellate or federal district or appellate court?"

You don't care why, and while maybe not the best endorsement, this proposed amendment is backed by the State Bar of Georgia. No one is opposed to it.

Will it pass? Most folks vote "no" when they do not understand a proposed constitutional amendment. Neither the State Bar of Georgia nor the state or federal judiciary has not done a good job of getting the word around that voters should vote "yes."

(If you want to know what the amendment will do, see Voters Guide 2004 in the ajc.)
