The opinion

¶26 (concurring) — With the exception of footnote 3 striking one amicus brief, I concur in the majority opinion.

J.M. Johnson, J.

¶27 In this matter of widespread public interest and importance, I do not believe it is in the interests of informed judicial decision making to strike and refuse to even consider the arguments of one (of many) groups previously granted amicus status.
