Gov. Andy Beshear won a court order Wednesday temporarily blocking bills passed by the Kentucky General Assembly that threatened to invalidate a series of his executive orders aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19. (Snip)Another bill being challenged, Senate Bill 1, would limit the governor’s executive orders in times of emergency to 30 days unless extended by lawmakers. It applies to orders restricting schools, businesses and religious gatherings or imposing mandatory quarantine or isolation requirements. CORRECTIONS*

Yet another "nitwit-in-black-robes " who should be unemployed and exiled. Lawyers and judges are, and long have been, a menace to decency and "consent of the governed " about everywhere. A plague be upon them.

Yet another example of judicial overreach. How do we rid ourselves of this plague?

The assembly should immediately arraign the judge on charges of violating the separation of powers, and impeach him. Then re apply the new laws.

Silly me. I did not understand that a state's Governor is more powerful than the state's legislature. It must be good to be such a Governor. As Mel Brooks said in one of movies: It's good to be King."

The legislature passed the bills and overrode the governor’s vetoes. These laws are not unconstitutional
I don’t see where a judge could think he has any power to interfere with this

The Kansas legislature is set to do the same thing and has a super majority to override the Dem governor’s veto.

I'm pretty sure that the Legislature can just remove this damned judge with another vote, and they should.

Well, you can talk about the "will of the people" until you're blue in the face, but "the people" continue to elect Democrats on the state level. Is there any question about the legitimacy of Beshear's election to the governorship (my question is not rhetorical, but an inquiry). As long as "the people" continue to buy in to the notion of the "moderate" Democrat they will continue to have their will thwarted. (And it helps their cause greatly when they have feckless GOP opponents).

#9 Kentucky voters elected a complete slate of Republicans plus a Republican Senate and Republican house. Andy Beshear was elected by the Teachers Union and its members because Matt Bevin hurt the howling, bawling, stomping cows' feelings after he listened to them for two years. And we got Baby Andy Beshear (son of a former governor) as the only Democrat in State Government. We are a red state with a baby blue governor. Louisville, Lexington and Frankfort are the Democrat hellholes.

The legislature, that had enough votes to overturn a veto, should impeach and remove the judge pronto. Of course that would require something Rebublicans don't have, a spine.

That judge needs to be taken out to the legal woodshed. He has demolished the legislative branch's power in that state, and allowed the governor to continue the nightmare for the residents.
There is a reason why the Apostle Paul completely abandoned his legal profession when he chose to become a man of God. He supported himself by the honest work of tentmaking and fishing, not dishonestly and truth twisting as a lawyer. He knew then how ungodly that profession is. Jesus said the greatest gift is for a man to risk his life on behalf of another. To me that means PD/FD, not the legal profession.
