Not to be Missed

Just when you thought that Donald Trump could not get more ridiculous, he said the following:


“I know many people at the White House and one in particular,” Trump told Savannah Guthrie of NBC News in a taped interview broadcast on TODAY. “The last person he wants to run against is Donald Trump. That I can tell you.”

Oh, yes.  The birthers are all waiting.

Is Gov. John Kasich's JobsOhio unconstitutional?  We will find out when the case goes to court.


....State Sen. Michael Skindell, D-23, state Rep. Dennis Murray, D-80, and Brian Rothenberg, on behalf of ProgressOhio.org, filed a request for declaratory judgment Monday with the Ohio Supreme Court on the constitutionality of House Bill 1, which replaces the state Department of Development with JobsOhio, a private corporation Kasich proposed during his campaign for governor to lead Ohio's job-creation efforts.....

....The complaint, which is composed of multiple sections and can be viewed here, challenges the constitutionality of the legislation on several grounds, including:
  • Giving the Supreme Court original jurisdiction in violation of Article IV of the Ohio Constitution;
  • Limiting redress in the courts to 60 days in violation of Article 1, Section 16;
  • Conferring corporate powers in violation of Article XIII, Section 1;
  • Creating a second position under the authority of the state for the Governor in violation of Article 3, Section 14;
  • Creating debt liabilities for the state in violation of Article VIII, Section 3;
  • Creating a joint venture between the State of Ohio and a private corporation in violation of Article VIII, Section 4;
  • Creating an appropriation for longer than two years in violation of Article II, Section 22.....


Ohioans will be watching.
