Would court phase in constitutionality?

The Kansas Supreme Court likely would accept a good-faith, multiyear school funding plan, Gov. Kathleen Sebelius told The Eagle editorial board last week. If so, that would certainly help the state’s budget. But would the court really agree to phase in the constitutional requirement to suitably finance education, when the reason for the phase-in is to help keep lawmakers from having to raise taxes in an election year?

    The Kansas Appellate and Supreme Court is a pro-active court. They do not believe in following the law or the constitution of either the United States or Kansas. This is the same court that held in a ruling several years back that mandatory language, ie. “shall”, “must” or “will” is not infact mandatory. They have their own political agenda and laws be damed.
