Don't forget. The Kentucky Supreme Court has launched a genuine constitutional crisis, and the ball is still in the Kentucky Senate's court. ow.ly/xQtC50Z7QAQ

Kentucky’s Supreme Court has ordered senators to abandon their oaths of office

A court ordering the legislature to dismiss a duly passed impeachment resolution is not the judiciary defending co-equality. It is the judiciary subordinating a co-equal branch.

Indiana and Ohio didn't fall apart when they pared back certificate of need programs. Their patients ended up with more choices and shorter drives.
