Those twin pillars of Nevada constitutional erudition — state Sen. Bob Beers and the Las Vegas Review-Journal editorial page — are in near apoplexy over the looming July 14 state Supreme Court consideration of term limits. Beers, under the aegis of Take Back Nevada, last week declared a “constitutional crisis in the making.” And the R-J, in editorials and a breathless op-ed piece by the head of U.S. Term Limits, has fulminated about the apocalypse should the court throw out this hallowed idea. Fact is the court — albeit, a different one — created this mess by exempting judges from the original measure, creating uncertainty even though the previous court had said it was constitutional. A fine mess this is.
