Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is such a glorious asshole. What happened this time? Oh, Brownback just signed a law that says that if state courts overturn this one law he doesn't like, he gets to strip funding from the ENTIRE judiciary. "THE FUCK YOU SAY?" says You. Let's see if we can Kansas-splain this in 500 words or less. Help us,
The Constitution will become just like the New Testament: something they venerate in the abstract, but baldly contradict in practice without the slightest self-awareness.
I agree. It's why it gets hard to laugh at them most days. We laugh at how ridiculous they are, and snark on their policies, but then those policies pass and no one who can change them does a fucking thing about it. So they become more and more bold and the country becomes more and more oligarchic. It scares me.
I don't believe the people did re-elect them. The Wisc. vote was stolen. No doubt many others were as well. Authoritarian regimes never win the popular vote. They always find some way to win by fraud.
He's actually a crazy from the sticks of eastern Kansas. He and I are from the same little town. People there are poor as shit and I can't understand how they constantly vote Republican.
Isn't this a lot like what earned Ricky Perry a felony indictment?

That tie looks like part of Limbaugh's line, circa 1993.

Hey, maybe his next move will to make the trains run on time...
You missed the beach whale in New Jersey.
So the Supreme Court should strike down the funding provision first, then the judicial appointment law.
This one really has me worried. This is exactly how you transition to a dictatorship. The judiciary is always the first to go.
Every right wing tin pot dictator wannabe ever.
Eliminating the judicial branch is quite literally a coup d'etat. It's already here an no one will do jack shit.

I'm sure there are plenty of two dollar bills left over from the last time.
Why not just declare them unconstitutional and throw all of them out of office?
About as much as they do with Nazi Germany.
Dictator of Kansas, lol. Would even Brownback want that?
