[Case name and date] Mangat vs. Department of State, 8/31/10 [Case summary] A circuit court ruled that a proposed constitutional amendment on the 2010 ballot called the Healthcare Freedom Amendment was misleading, and the Department of State appealed to the Supreme Court. The amendment, placed on the ballot by the Legislature, would have banned any laws that required people to participate in a health care system and is similar to Amendment 1 on the current 2012 ballot. [Ruling] 5-2. Pariente, Lewis and Quince sided with majority. [What majority said] The Supreme Court agreed that the amendment summary was misleading and threw it off the ballot because the Legislature has specifically ordered the amendment's title and summary to be printed.
