Consider this: Any sitting governor has lawyers on his staff with far more experience than a sitting AG.

If Bryant spends public money in defiance of a valid A.G. opinion, and the Courts later conclude the A.G. opinion was correct, Bryant can be held personally liable for the expenditure.

Whether it's farm subsidies, military bases, federal contracts or welfare where the grocery stores and medical facilities need to be reimbursed by the feds to exist or our highway dollars or subsidies to the salaries of government employees at every level.<br /><br />There are cities elsewhere with a larger population and greater wealth and resources than our entire state, yet we think we can make it alone in the modern world.<br /><br />So, yet again, we'll spend lots of time and money in defiance only to cut off our nose to spite our face and reinforce to the rest of the world that we are a brick shy of a full load.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-8456186021781475962013-06-21T19:34:06.242-05:002013-06-21T19:34:06.242-05:00Deputy Phil Bryant can't even run his own fami...Deputy Phil Bryant can't even run his own family, especially that "interior-decorator" kid of his.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-15719250542249428522013-06-21T18:52:22.434-05:002013-06-21T18:52:22.434-05:00I believe that Bryant absolutely has the legal aut...I believe that Bryant absolutely has the legal authority to run Medicaid without the authorization of the Legislature. I also believe that Hood would lose hands-down in any court showdown trying to stop Bryant. The Mississippi Supreme Court has been very clear in upholding our Constitution's explicit separation of powers doctrine and held that no court can issue mandamus against the Governor. The problem comes in the money. Phil cannot appropriate dollar one without the legislature, except out of the Governor's office operating fund. Without looking at that fund, I can say without hesitation that there's not enough in there to run Medicaid, and the Feds won't give dollar one without matching state funds.

Seems to me, that's the only other option.<br /><br />And, who cares about what Cuccinelli says about his political opponent...or the state of Mississippi? Certainly, not I. As for our level of "tolerance", Mississippians tolerate pretty much anything and everything EXCEPT intolerate liberals. You know.

Reminds me of why Mississippi is the laughing-stock of the world.I leave you with a quote from yesterday from a far right wing Tea Party candidate in Virginia concerning this state:<br /><br />“In fact the last time my opponent had a chance to plant a business somewhere, he put it in that bastion of tolerance – Mississippi,” Cuccinelli deadpanned – a reference to the struggling electric car startup, GreenTech Automotive, which McAuliffe founded in late 2009.<br /><br />http://www.timesdispatch.com/news/state-regional/government-politics/mcauliffe-cuccinelli-answer-questions-at-tech-forum/article_37a07e2a-d98f-11e2-9f59-0019bb30f31a.html<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-42089709245736485022013-06-21T10:43:07.568-05:002013-06-21T10:43:07.568-05:00Hood's just protecting the democrats.Hood's just protecting the democrats.
