In a nakedly partisan 4-3 decision, Democrats on the NC Supreme Court have undermined the legitimacy of the court and violated the separation of powers enshrined in our state constitution according to the three dissenting justices. A dark day for the rule of law in NC. #NCPOLpic.twitter.com/MD2V1IskRy
I don’t know that I have ever seen sitting Supreme Court question the legitimacy of their own court before. But this decision based on partisan political outcomes rather than law strikes at the very foundation of our constitutional government.
For those of us who have worked at that venerable court as well as all in the legal community, this should be seen as a harrowing and embarrassing development for that court. To inject that level of partisanship into the judiciary erodes at democratic norms that have sustained NC
It’s also a disappointing setback for those of us who believe in the possibility of bipartisanship. When everything is a political prize to be won or lost based on partisanship, it drives both sides to further extremes and alienates people from their government.
“Does the majority really believe that our state constitution prohibits neutral, bipartisan boards?” Chief Justice Martin, dissenting. #NCPOLpic.twitter.com/SFh5RxVtiF
“...the constitution requires the Governor to ‘faithfully’ execute ‘the laws.’ ‘The laws’ are not the Governor’s policy preferences, but are those measures enacted by the General Assembly.” Justice Newby, dissenting. #NCPOLpic.twitter.com/czyM1qrYRP
Lol, but the other 3 are non-partisan?
Brent, this is an honest question: If Republicans are absolutely against partisan judges, why is every conservative so happy about Justice Gorsuch? Obviously a different court but doesn't every admin try and stack courts with "their guys"?
I don’t have a problem with judges having a party preference. I just expect them to sublimate that to the constitution, the rule of law and fundamental democratic concepts. That’s not what happened here.
Do you think giving the GOP control of the State Board of Elections during all even (election) years was "nakedly partisan" or just the NC Supreme Court's ruling in opposition to such changes? #ncpolpic.twitter.com/MjgzFmsvNA
Gonna sit down and read this opinion tonight. We’ll see if I agree with you.
Haven't read the decision yet, but for what it's worth, the founding fathers are the ones who "embroiled the courts in separaration of powers" decisions. That's been true since day one.
