Tell the Judges Where to GO!

As a lawyer, I have seen far too many examples of judicial overreach. This post at Power Line is as bad as it gets. The Kansas Supreme Court has decided to impose its own determination of what the proper level of taxation must be:

the judges decide the elected legislature did not increase spending enough for education (only $142 million increase) and so it orders them to increase spending twice as much ($285 million). They then warn the legislature that if they don't increase spending enough next year they will order the rest of the increase recommended by some unelected consultant (another $568 million). The activist judges have gotten totally out of hand.

The Kansas governor and legislators must tell the judges to go to hell, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

They are obligated to protect and defend the constitution of the state. I would imagine that their oath of office requires it. If they fail to stop this egregious power grab by the judges, they should be impeached.
