The teabaggers paradise
Senate Bill 439 is currently set for debate before the state’s GOP-stacked Judiciary Committee. If it is approved and signed by Governor Brownback, it will permit impeachment of any Judge who acts contrary to the wishes of the legislature. In other words, any Judge who strikes down or modifies any law the legislature passes, for any reason-- whether the law is blatantly Unconstitutional, violative of existing laws, or otherwise, is thereby subject to impeachment proceedings by the state Legislature. A previous law threatening to cut off all Judicial funding was declared unconstitutional by the state’s High Court.
The state has been trapped in an economic death grip since Governor Sam Brownback and a feckless cadre of rabidly “conservative” Republican lawmakers controlling a supermajority in both of the state’s legislative chambers instituted unprecedented, radical tax cuts to benefit the richest people in the state, while just as radically gutting public services to the state’s citizens
The state under complete “Tea Party" dominance now serves as a textbook, laboratory-tested example of what unchecked Republican policies can lead to. Furious at Court rulings ordering the state government to follow existing law and fund public education ( a task which Brownback’s extreme tax-cutting has made well-nigh impossible), the Republicans are striking back at the only thing that stands in their way of turning the entire state into a Hobbesian, conservative cesspool—the state’s courts.
Yes Kansas is a festering shit hole
For Those Who Had Any Doubts, Kansas Has Officially Gone Insane.
