Interesting thought: Is government funding of an entity inherently a contract? It’s not like the situation where the government contracts to buy a defined number of things, like vehicles, airplanes, or cleaning services.
I would think that if no contract is there, it boils down to whether or not the governor of a state has the authority and discretion over the part of the budget out of which PP is funded. If the governor has line item veto authority... fuhgeddaboutit.
Good. They can use the money they were going to pay PP on lawyers to defend their action.
I wonder .... is there any kind of contract that a governor is violating by pulling the funding ?
Who Ray for Ala.
Why would any tax exempt non profit have a right to receive taxpayer money?
Let private donors give to your cause if they believe in it.
in 38 years there will be a judgement
The Alabama taxpayers need to countersue the PP butchers for murdering Alabama infants.
So now these murderers feel they are entitled to the taxpayer money. Nonsense!!!
Even if PP was a bunch of sweet old ladies teaching girls to lock their knees together, the government has no damn business confiscating the *earnings* that I work damn hard for and giving them to *anyone* else.
James Madison (the father of our Constitution) wrote disapprovingly, “I cannot undertake to lay my finger on that article of the Constitution which granted a right to Congress of expending, on objects of benevolence, the money of their constituents.”
Dr. Thomas puts it this way, “What exactly is your *fair share* of what someone else has worked for?”
Time for DISCOVERY. PP will fold like a cheap lawn chair.
The State of AL is going to have fun during the discovery process!
State list ping!
