Ultimately we have to wait and see what the AK Supreme Court rules. Many think each side is correct. I lean toward Hickel as well. So we wait and see how political the Court will be or not! I think the crux of the matter hinges on what the constitution says but what the Legislature has done (past practice). We all know the Legislators have not done things right but will the Court decide because they did it their way as opposed to the Constitution? there in lays the politics of it all. too bad the politicians can't do what is right and always figure out a slimey way to get what they want even though it is wrong!
