Rupe's ad hominem bloviating is pure, self-serving demagoguery. Real solutions don't need that nonsense. Why give him any attention? He's nothing but a shill for the school tax industry.

Then when he speaks up....he gets chastised again. Think Phill gets fair and balanced coverage or does he get whacked no matter what he does? You make the call.

I thought he's part of the executive branch, the enforcer of law. By advising the Legislatures on how to counter the court order, wouldn't he be overstepping his boundary as well---something he's used to do anyway? If he's legislative, doesn't that create conflict of interests, making laws and enforcing them as well, effectively making him a de-facto despot? But, if he's neither legislative nor executive, then wouldn't he be just a parasite, and can be surgically amputated?
