A three-judge panel in North Carolina has issued a temporary restraining order blocking a law that strips the state's new governor of some powers.

The law was signed by outgoing Republican Gov. Pat McCrory and requires state Senate approval for Cabinet nominees of the new Democratic administration, something that was not required for McCrory's own nominees.

The Republican-controlled state Legislature passed the measure after McCrory lost November's election to Democrat Roy Cooper. Democrats called it a "power grab."

Republicans still hold large majorities in both chambers of the Legislature.

On Wednesday, the court issued a temporary restraining order until a hearing on Friday, effectively blocking Senate confirmation hearings until the end of the week.

Republican leaders called the ruling a blatant overstep,

the gall of these people.

Two mis-steps out of the hundred other ways they're killing this country isn't worth celebrating IMO.

Then how do start a comeback if not with small victories?

Football= one play at a time
Bball= one possession at a time

See where I'm going?
 
Wish that someone would do the same towards Trump right now, because he & his administration is getting away with almost everything, & there's no one to keep them in check.

NCGOP is brazenly evil so I'm not surprised at their response. I really love living in the triangle and at least we can shield ourselves from some of their shittiness, but it really is disheartening to live in the state of one of the shittiest republican parties this country has to offer. And that's saying a lot.

Oh god I can't wait for FFXII HD.

On topic I have no idea whats going on in NC and how they are getting away with so much shit. It's about time someone finally steps into do something. The people their voting just give no fucks, even the threats of losing so much money and putting their economy under didn't help them purge all the shitheads out of power.

What the hell does legislate from the bench mean?

Nice try assholes, but your dumb actions are hurting the people of the state.
 
Praise the Sun. I had been wondering about this since I heard of it.


It's the damned transparency and attitude that pisses me off the most.

Nice to hear some good news.

Though can't help but wonder what Trump and co will do, for some reason not sure they'll take the judges not bending over lightly. You know how they are.
