You watch, they’ll be pushing that again in order to meet this “budget shortfall”.

Three times the Ohio Supreme Court has ruled that the funding system for public schools was unconstitutional and ordered the legislature to change it. The Legislature and several governors have chosen to ignore the ruling.
The Court has no army. Cities have police, counties have sheriffs and the Governor has the state police. The court has a rent-a-cop guard in their parking garage.

So basically the taxpayers are forced to pay $100,000 a day to the government if the government doesn’t satisfy the demands of this government official.
Where is the incentive for government to comply.

I would reconvene the legislature and cut the education budget by 36.5 Million Dollars.
Problem solved.

This judiciary strikes again and this isn’t a social issue, its a fiscal issue.
The judiciary stands in the way of freedom of speech and religion over things like gay marriage, it also stands in the way of fiscal responsibility in this case.
The ‘judiciary is the enemy’ I would say to borrow from George S. Patton. I think many of us know how the rest of it goes.......

The state should take it from the supreme court retirement fund and after that is zeroed out, place leins on their property to pay this.

The day is coming when the people will have their revenge on unconstitutional rulings by black-robed tyrant judges by impeaching them.

Just make the salary of a Supreme Court Justice $1/month. Tell them they need the cash for the schools.

Maybe the court could have dictated that this 100 grand per day would come out of lawmakers’ and education administrators’ personal pensions. You know rather than force the taxpayers to foot the bill. Which these agencies will pass along to them.

So if the voters don’t want to increase spending, the state supreme court will force them to do so. The modern Welfare State is a suicide pact.

The Court is the legislator now??? Are there any Constitionalists in Wash st to fight this???? The Supreme Court has been playing Legislature for well over half a century. Lower Federal courts have followed suit. This Washington State court is riding their coattails.
