Stein and Cooper Sue To Block S 382


As expected, North Carolina Governor-elect Josh Stein and Gov. Roy Cooper filed a lawsuit yesterday to block S 382, the new Republican devilment shifting executive power in government to Republican hands, particularly the administration of elections.

The new law’s changes “undermine the results of the election” and “violate the separation of powers,” Cooper and Stein argue. “It’s fundamental to our constitution that the legislature can not both make the laws and then choose the leaders who enforce them,” Cooper said. “Breaking the executive branch chain of command in law enforcement or any other executive branch agency is unconstitutional and it weakens our ability to respond to emergencies and keep the public safe.”
