Time for a coup within the GOP ranks there, I think. Of course it PA is a disaster for the Repubs then maybe the chairman would be on his way out anyway.

Is the state legislature up for election too? The GOP has had a majority in both houses for a few years, as I recall. Maybe that will remain the one bright spot for this election.

Good morning.

The GOP has consistently refused to back conservatives here in California, so I assume they are doing the same elsewhere.

The GOP Party structure is pretty corrupt and very much RINO. The Republican legislature collaborated with the Dem Governor and the GOP majority Supreme Court to pass a middle of the night, illegal pay raise that ranged from 16% to 54%.

When was the last time that you voted yourself a 54% raise?

Four months later, angry voters forced them to repeal it. Then some judges sued to reinstate it for just the judges.

Well surprise, surprise. The corrupt court said that it was legal for the judges (including themselves) to get the raise. This saga isn't over yet. New legislation is being proposed to rescind the raise and nullify the court decree. If the raise does stand, the court has interpreted the pay raise legislation to read that their pay will now be tied to the federal court system and that when they get their new raises shortly, the PA judges will get another raise. The total increase per year will be $30,000 or $40,000 for each of them.

The good news is that we already removed one judge. 30 members of the house and senate resigned rather than face the voters again and another 17 were defeated in the primary and more will go down to defeat in November.
