In a suburb of Dallas called Farmers branch, the voters recently passed an ordinence that requires landlords to recieve documentation that the prospective resident is a US Citizen, DL, SSN, Birth cert.

Before the vote, a group was formed that did not want the law to pass. The name of this group is "Let the voters decide"


The law passed with 68% of the vote FOR the law, and 32% against.

You know where I'm going with this. People in Farmers Branch voted by a 2 to 1 margin to pass this law.

Monday afternoon, the group known as "let the voters decide" went to court with the ACLU to get an injunction to stop the law from going into effect.

The unelected federal judge granted the temp. injunction.
I guess "let the voters decide"... works only if it goes your way, if not, go to court.
