A Minnesota judge has ordered the state to reinstate money for a food program that Gov. Tim Pawlenty cut from the budget, saying he acted unconstitutionally.
Several people in the program for the poor sought an injunction to restore money while their court case proceeds
Ramsey County District Judge Kathleen Gearin granted their wish in an order on Wednesday. Her temporary restraining order keeps the money intact indefinitely.
The case stems from $2.7 billion in cuts the Republican governor announced this summer to balance the budget. He took the action using an executive power that allows the governor to trim spending on his own. He and the Democratic-controlled Legislature failed to agree on a budget.
An attorney for Pawlenty had argued that the state would have trouble paying its bills if the administration lost because others hit by cuts would see it as an invitation to file similar lawsuits.
And keep in mind the governor who put two (or more) liberal justices on the Minnesota SC.
I like the permanent smile lines on her face.
nevermind, same county, wrong moonbat judge:

hold on now, all it was was a TRO while the case proceeds. Pawlenty can cut the court system budget later to make up for the shortfall.
Same thing happening here in California:

The local news show said T-Paw:
Is disappointed at the decision and looking at all options including an appeal and other options.
Just another example of a big government minion (a state judge) vs. the taxpayer, and again the taxpayer loses. Even in the rare instance when the taxpayer has an ally (Pawlenty) in office, big government virtually always has an ace up its sleeve. The game is rigged, and the deck is stacked against us.
No, but perhaps the judge's position could be abolished. (5:25 into video)
YIKES! That face is scary, man! Margaret Hamilton as the witch in The Wizard of Oz was more attractive than this FemiNazi.
Its amazing isn’t it? Judges write budgets now, not elected representatives.
Pawlenty needs to resharpen his pencil and take the $2.7 billion out of the state judicial system budget.
Its Obamaland now...
so I guess its true.
Once you give a man a fish you are enslaved by that man and have to fish for him the rest of your life.
That ought to teach you to try and help the poor and hungry.
LOL.
Jimenez crickets, I wonder if someone could explain one good reason why any sane individual would live in Minnesota.
Cave worthy?

+++++++++++++++
It’s unbelievable - I am still in disbelief.
Stop all payments to the Judge —
that’s the first thing I thought of ! Let her subsidize the food bank.
I hope Pawlenty wins this one.
Perhaps Minnesota has too many judges, maybe some have to made unemployed.
Judge was elected by Franken supporters.
