Issue Position: Judicial Branch

Issue Position

The framers of the U. S. Constitution and the State of Kansas Constitution felt it was vitally important to have three separate branches of government to protect the people from its government. Still today it is vital that the Legislative, the Judicial and the Executive Branches of the Government remain separate and independent.

In recent years the Republican conservatives in the legislature have attacked the Courts, cut the budgets and threatened to entirely defund the courts. Justices, of course, cannot defend themselves publicly and cannot campaign for re-election.
