Republican Guaranty Clause lives?

[John C. Eastman]

In an interesting ruling out of Washington state, a state court
judge struck down a Washington anti-tax initiative yesterday,
noting, among other things:
``In a representative democracy, citizens delegate authority to
their
elected representatives ... to decide certain questions on behalf
of the
citizenry."  "A representative democracy does not contemplate,
let
alone necessitate, a direct vote of the citizens on every act of
the
government.''
The opinion is available at http://www.courts.wa.gov/ .
Is the Republican Guarantee Clause, like the Privileges or
Immunities Clause in Saenz, undergoing a resurrection?
