Judge Lindsey has drafted an amendment to the Colorado Constitution that would give the people the final say as to the constitutionality of laws when a Colorado Supreme Court justice dissents from a majority opinion that declares a law unconstitutional. The sentiment for Theodore Roosevelt’s nomination in the West is “overwhelming” and Lindsey might resign from the Wilson Club in order to fully support what he expects to be Roosevelt’s certain nomination.
