Yay!  But we woke up to rain and fog and it rained all day.  All day!  So we'll go tomorrow--because NOAA tells us it's going to be a nice day.  Like today.</p> <p>But I'm glad I stayed home.  Otherwise I might have missed that wacky Mike Huckabee pandering with his new best friend, Kim Davis.  Eye of the Tiger, indeed.  I was half expecting to see Ted Nugent there, too, but then I remembered he's the NRA guy, not the God guy.</p> </div></div></div> Tue, 08 Sep 2015 22:10:44 +0000 Ramona comment 212608 at http://dagblog.com Don't you just love the way http://dagblog.com/comment/212601#comment-212601 <a id="comment-212601"></a> <p><em>In reply to <a href="http://dagblog.com/reader-blogs/prognostication-19876">PROGNOSTICATION</a></em></p> <div class="field field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p>Don't you just love the way Walker has flat lined in the poles with his presidential campaign.

This happen last week.  Now no one knows what to do with this and there is confusion about how the law was written.  </p> <p>There is a whole lot of stupid in Kansas. </p> <p><span style="line-height:1.6">This all started when the courts found that the </span><span style="line-height:1.6">Draconian cuts to the school budget was unconstitutional and the legislators were going to have to find the money in their budget to fund the schools. </span><span style="line-height:1.6"> </span></p> <blockquote> <p>On Wednesday night, a district judge in Kansas <a href="https://www.brennancenter.org/sites/default/files/press-releases/2015-CV-156%20Memorandum%20Decision%20and%20Order.pdf" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" target="_blank">struck down</a> a 2014 law that stripped the state Supreme Court of some of its administrative powers. The ruling has set off a bizarre constitutional power struggle between the Republican-controlled legislature and the state Supreme Court. At stake is whether the Kansas court system will lose its funding and shut down.</p> <p>Last year, the Kansas legislature passed a law that took away the top court's authority to appoint chief judges to the state's 31 judicial districts—a policy change Democrats believe was retribution for an ongoing dispute over school funding between the Supreme Court and the legislature. (<em>Mother Jones</em> <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/05/final-front-sam-brownbacks-battle-control-kansas" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" target="_blank">reported</a> on the standoff this spring.) When the legislature passed a two-year budget for the court system earlier this year, it inserted a clause stipulating that if a court ever struck down the 2014 administrative powers law, funding for the entire court system would be "null and void." Last night, that's what the judge did.</p> <p>Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt <a href="http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article33603570.html#storylink=cpy" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-decoration: none; border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: dotted; border-bottom-color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" target="_blank">warned</a> that last night's decision “could effectively and immediately shut off all funding for the judicial branch.” That would lead to chaos. As Pedro Irigonegaray, an attorney for the Kansas judge who brought the legal challenge against the administrative law, put it, “Without funding, our state courts would close, criminal cases would not be prosecuted, civil matters would be put on hold, real estate could not be bought or sold, adoptions could not be completed."</p> </blockquote> <p> <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2015/09/why-entire-kansas-court-system-could-shut-down">http://www.motherjones.com/mojo/2015/09/why-entire-kansas-court-system-could-shut-down</a></p> <p>​</p> <blockquote> <p>The battle over court funding is not the only area where tension exists.</p> <p>The court will rule on school funding in the future, possibly ordering the Legislature to steer millions more dollars to schools. That could set off a constitutional crisis if lawmakers refuse to comply. Even if the Legislature doesn’t fight the court on the ruling, the question of where to find additional money would be difficult to answer.</p> <p>The ruling will likely come down a few months before Nuss and other members of the court stand for retention in 2016. Brownback supported efforts to oust Justices Eric Rosen and Lee Johnson in 2014. Both were retained by slim margins.</p> <p>“It’s a poor judge indeed who worries about things like that,” Nuss said when asked if concerns over retention races and potential political fallout will have any effect on the court’s ruling in the school finance case. “Our obligation is to the people of Kansas and the Kansas Constitution.”</p> <div><br /> Read more here: <a href="http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article33739617.html#storylink=cpy">http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article33739617.html#stor...</a></div> <p> </p> </blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article33739617.html">http://www.kansas.com/news/politics-government/article33739617.html</a></p> <p>The trouble with Kansas is the Koch brothers.  They don't like and want public education because of their John Burch Society insane ideology.
