No More Days in Court

Why have the Senate Democrats asked the state courts to intervene in what is evidently a political matter? Inviting the court into the legislative process, no matter the short term value, only further weakens a legislature that is already judged dysfunctional.

Let's hope that the parties don't add insult to injury by forcing the court to referee.
