Lexington Herald-Leader editorial: Stivers out to turn chief justice into judge shopper for governor, legislature.
Berry Craig
Let’s assume — for argument’s sake — that Senate Bill 2 has nothing to do with the grudge held by some prominent Kentucky Republicans against a certain Franklin Circuit judge.
Let’s pretend that Senate President Robert Stivers’ sole motive for sponsoring SB 2 is to strengthen Kentuckians’ trust in the courts by creating a more level playing field for lawsuits involving state government.
It’s still a stinkeroo.
