Judges slap down North Carolina law usurping governor's power, GOP throws tantrum

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

If Donald Trump is an irascible overgrown man-child (and he is), his political progeny are the Republican lawmakers who control North Carolina’s legislature. So naturally, when a three-judge panel held that GOP lawmakers overstepped their authority in usurping many of Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's executive powers, Republicans threw a fit. The AP writes:

A North Carolina court temporarily blocked a new state law on Wednesday that stripped the new Democratic governor of some of his powers. [...]

Legislative leaders lashed out at the three judges, calling their decision "a blatant overstep of their constitutional authority."

House Speaker Tim Moore and Senate leader Phil Berger said in a joint statement the "judges are not legislators, and if these three men want to make laws, they should hang up their robes and run for a legislative seat."
