Montanans: Tell your Senators to oppose Sen. Emrich bills that would undermine our Courts.
#MTPol #MTLeg #MTSession #Montana
Sen. Emrich is pushing multiple bills, SB13, SB 42, SB 44, that undermine the independence of our courts. These bills limit judicial power, restrict oversight, and allow the legislature pass unconstitutional laws unchecked.
This isn’t reform—it’s a power grab. Tell your legislators to VOTE NO.
