Whacking the Pinata

Remember this story about how one dickish Republican legislator from Lee County got a "local" bill passed in the General Assembly to fire four of the 12 members of the Central Carolina Community College Board of Trustees, because they were Democrats and were appointed by the local Democratic school board?

A judge, after hearing the evidence, including the politics very clearly at play, has said "Not so fast there, Rep. Mike Stone."

Fair-minded and constitutionally schooled judges all over the state are going to be saying that a lot in the months ahead, we trust.

I certainly hope you're right, jww. These cynical, sinister folks who swear by the Constitution don't seem to understand it, state laws, or, perhaps most importantly, the basic principles of our nation. What would Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Franklin (father of my alma mater), etc. think?

They would approve.
