190. Laws are pesky things, aren't they?

Wiki: The National Congress passed a law forbidding holding referenda less than 180 days before the next general election; as the next elections are set for 29 November 2009, this invalidates the referendum bid. http://lta.reuters.com/article/domesticNews/idLTASIE55N06G20090624

Congress passed the law and the Supreme Court backed it. That's what separation of powers does.
