Judge rules Kentucky General Assembly out of order on appropriation.
Read the order here.
Judge Roger Crittenden, in essence, that the appropriation of more than $20 million made by the 2006 General Assembly to fund the construction of the pharmacy building and program at the University of the Cumberlands in Whitley County, violated the 5th (the section PROHIBITS government religious preference), 15th(power of the General Assembly to suspend laws), and 189 (which provides that "NO portion of any fund or tax now existing, or that may hereafter be raised or levied for educational purposes, shall be appropriated to, or used by, or in aid of, any church, sectarian or denominational school") sections of the Kentucky Constitution.
One would have thought our elected General Assemblers would have known BETTER than to pull this "fast one" on us!
