Kentucky's legislature and state supreme court are facing off in an epic battle over the parameters of their respective authority. This separation-of-powers turf war centers on a legislative effort to impeach a sitting judge.

In response, the legislature voted overwhelmingly on its last day of session to censure a Supreme Court judge for his opinion in the case. The gloves are off.
