Back on Your Hands and Knees

... coffee break is over: Court rules state school finance system unconstitutional

So the two specials that resulted in such crap legislation as the "Defend Marriage Amendment" which may have, as a side effect, outlawed all marriage in Texas, and which did absolutely nothing about school finance, are going to be rerun in the spring. Good job, morons.

The court voted 7-1 that Texas school funding is unconstitutional.

Here's an example of the state's finest legal minds at work trying to influence the judges:

Ted Cruz, solicitor general for Texas, told the Supreme Court it's time for them to stop meddling in school finance. He said the issue of how much to spend on education is a "political question that the Texas Constitution assigns to the Texas Legislature and not the courts."

That's the way to make friends on the court, tell the to keep their noses out of your business. If Texas wants to ruin their school system, it's nobody's business but theirs.

I think I may just live in the world's largest insane asylum. Outside of California.
