GOP legislators seek to take power from North Carolina’s Dem governor

 

North Carolina’s General Assembly on Monday will consider changes for two amendments that, if approved by voters in Novembers, would dramatically shift the balance of power away from the governor and to the state legislature.

 

The amendments are part of a battle between the state’s Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper and legislative Republicans, who hold super majorities in both houses of the legislature.

The amendments would allow the legislature to claim more power over appointments to both open judicial seats and the state Board of Elections. At present, Cooper holds the power to appoint judges to vacant seats and to the Board of Elections.

 

One of the amendments would create a Nonpartisan Judicial Merit Commission to evaluate candidates for open judgeships. Members of the commission would be appointed by the governor, the legislature, and the chief justice of the state Supreme Court.

 

The other would give both Democratic and Republican members of the legislature the power to recommend members of the Board of Elections. The governor would still hold the power to appoint members of the commission, but he would be required to choose from the legislature’s approved list of candidates, effectively rendering that power meaningless.

 

Republicans behind the move to amend the state constitution say the changes are necessary because the current system gives the governor too much influence over the levers of government.

 

“There has been a lot of support when folks realize that at the present time the governor has no checks on his ability to fill vacancies,” said Phil Berger, the Republican president of the state Senate and an architect of the GOP’s electoral gains in North Carolina in recent years. “We think this is a more small-d democratic process.”

 

But to Democrats — and even to some former Republicans who held prominent positions in state politics — the proposed amendments smack of a partisan power grab. All five living former governors of North Carolina, including Republicans Jim Martin and Pat McCrory, oppose the amendment.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey won't announce appointee to fill John McCain's seat until after burial

 

Funerals and tributes are planned for McCain in both Phoenix and Washington, D.C. Afterwards he will be buried at the cemetery at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md., but a date has yet to be set.

Ducey, a Republican, is required by law to pick a replacement for McCain — an appointee who would serve until the 2020 election.

Among those people being talked about as potential appointees are Cindy McCain, John McCain's wife of more than 37 years, and former Sen. Jon Kyl.

DESPITE MEDIA HELL WEEK: President Trump’s Approval Number Still 2 Points Ahead of Obama at Same Point in his Presidency

 

Despite the brutal anti-Trump hysterics this past week including charges against his former campaign manager and personal attorney President Trump’s approval rating continues to hold.

This is after the liberal media repeated the word “impeachment” 222 times in one day this week!

 

President Trump’s approval rating is currently at 46% on Rasmussen Reports.

Media darling Barack Obama had an approval rating of 44% on August 26, 2010.

 

President Trump is still two points ahead of Barack Obama at a similar point in his presidency.

And a majority of Americans believe the Manafort and Cohen verdicts will not result in criminal charges against Trump.

And this is while 90% of network media coverage has been negative of President Trump.

And this is while the media ran a impeachment cheers for the past several days of reporting.

 

If President Trump had just 50% positive coverage by the liberal media his approval numbers would be in the 60’s!
