I mean, we can move him to tear and give him all kinds of financial projections, but it really all comes down to that, and I don't know if our case is strong enough on that aspect. :/ My fear is that all these eloquent arguments won’t be enough to convince the judge about the unconstitutionality of the initiative, which is what the brief filed is really about.

But I'm just gonna pull out my trusty Magic 8 Ball. ::shake:: It says "Outlook not so good". Sorry guys, maybe next time!"
