New House Speaker Merrick refuses Kansas Supreme Court chief justice's request to address Legislature
I think I understand why they're afraid to allow other views to be heard. They are well aware that the Republican Party, nationwide, is losing ground because of Tea Party politics - and they are Tea Party politicians.
If they keep the voices of reason muted they can actually succeed in pulling the wool over a lot of "unaware" Kansans - people whose sole understanding of politics and government consists of recognizing an R after a name. This state values the Tea Party mentality - and they do so because they don't allow outside thoughts to enter their minds. That's why muting the sound of reason works here in Kansas.

Brownback is also working on loading the judiciary during his two terms. Kansas has a bleak future. His appointments to the bench will have long-lasting effects.

New House Speaker Merrick refuses Kansas Supreme Court chief justice's request to address Legislature
It's going to take all the publicity our media can give our legislature and governor to have any hope of opening the eyes of those who voted these people in.
Every time they do something this egregious, make sure it's reported. And of course if the moderates do anything egregious, report that, too. Then the voters can see the vast difference in how far off the wall the Far Right is compared to the moderates and far left.
These loons make the news all the time for the outrageous things they do - and their behavior often hurts Kansas citizens.
We already know they don't care who they hurt. They have an agenda set out by the Koch Boys and Brownback and they will bulldoze anybody who tries to take their focus off that agenda. Sorry, Judge. You obviously don't have the stomach for the Far Right agenda, so you're now welcome. Thanks for trying.
