Senate President, David Williams, and Kentucky's Chief Justice, Joseph Lambert, spar over senior judge program.
Read the story here.
I wonder who wins this argument: Senate President David Williams says the senior judge program is unconstitutional -- because the senior judges are NOT elected as REQUIRED by the Constitution -- and an "unfounded mandate".
Chief Justice Joseph Lambert, says "not so".
Oh BTW: David Williams is the President of one arm of the legislature that holds the "purse strings".
The Chief Justice controls the judiciary.
The senior judge program will expire next January UNLESS renewed by the legislature.
Your thoughts?
