A judge in North Carolina put a temporary hold on one of the legislature’s last-minute efforts to strip power away from the governor’s office, since the new governor will be a Democrat and the legislature has a super-majority of Republicans.
The judge needs more time to determine whether the General Assembly’s assault on democracy is unconstitutional.

I just hope that the judge ultimately finds these efforts unconstitutional.
Although I suspect, if the judge does, the legislature will appeal this to a higher court.
Good news: Governor Roy Cooper was just sworn in just after midnight. A new day is dawning for our fair state.
