Kansas AG Kobach Pushes Back Guv Kelly

A legal debate against the Administration that deserves consideration . . . Check-it: 

According to a release from Kelly’s office, “Kansas joined a coalition of 23 attorneys general and governors for the commonwealths of Pennsylvania and Kentucky in suing the Trump Administration over its unprecedented and unlawful attempts to invoke a single provision buried in the federal regulations to strip away billions of dollars in critical federal funding for states and other grantees . . . Kobach filed an “amicus” or “friend-of-the-court” brief in federal court in Massachusetts, arguing that Kelly does not have the authority to bring the lawsuit on behalf of Kansas, along with a coalition of attorneys general from Democratic-led states.
