BREAKING NEWS: 3-Judge Panel Throws Out Two Proposed Constitutional Amendments

Late yesterday afternoon, the three-judge panel hearing the Governor Roy Cooper and NAACP challenge to constitutional amendments agreed that two of them were deceptively written and should not be on the ballot this fall: the amendments which would totally rewrite state government to give all appointment powers for judges and members of state boards and commissions to the General Assembly.

The judges stayed their own decision for three days to give the Berger/Moore team time to appeal to the NC Court of Appeals, which they will do.
