- Apparently not: The Denver Post listed all six counts on which Amendment
- 2 is currently being challenged. (p10A, Friday, 13 Nov 92) and this
- is not one of them (I _think_: vagueness is one of the objections.
- Techincally, this mean a law that is not sufficiently specific to be
- enforcable, not a law that the voters misunderstood when they passed it.
- But, of course, it's possible the paper got the details wrong...)
