I am concerned for my neighbors in Kansas.
Senator Sam Brownback is running for the office of Governor.
He has a screwy idea concerning ‘The State Office of the Repealer‘. This person‘s job would be to start disposing of laws outside of the regular process in Kansas.
Is he unaware that the State of Kansas has a Kansas Supreme Court?
When a law or case is appealed the Kansas Supreme Court reads the record of the trial and written briefs filed by the parties and hears oral arguments of lawyers. They research and review the law involved in the case and then write an opinion which is usually published in bound volumes. The court announces its decisions by filing them with the Office of the Clerk of the Appellate Courts. Laws may be repealed in this fashion.
“People just love this idea,” Brownback reportedly said. “They feel like they’re getting their brains regulated out of them.”
“…it’s always, ‘Well, we need this, we need that, we need this.’ Nothing is ever subtracted in the system.” How about common sense, Sam?
He reportedly said the Repealer would come from an existing state position reassigned to the task of elimination - instead of a State Trooper he would appoint a State Pooper.
It would be nice to see drug, illegal immigration and abortion laws enforced in Kansas before Brownback goes about repealing them.
Do you think a State Repealer would sound good to drug running illegal immigrants or law abiding Kansas citizens?
