The big #mtnews yesterday was the Supreme Court upholding the law that gives the governor power to directly fill judicial vacancies.

The 🔥🤯🧐 news was Justice Rice's concurring opinion that compared Attorney General Austin Knudsen to Andrew Jackson. In a very bad way. (🧵) Rice's opinion focused on some of the early moves in this saga between the Leg. and the judiciary. TLDR: the Leg. subpoenaed the court administrator for judicial records. She filed a challenge to that subpoena in the SB140 case, even though she/the Leg. were not parties to it.
