NC Lottery Illegal?
The lawsuit over the lottery in North Carolina continues, as the state races to take money from people before a judge can put a stop to it. Lockjaw the Ogre (yes, there's two Ogres in NC) has more details that clearly outline where the passage of the law was illegal.
What's really interesting is theIt’s the difference between getting a chance to get money and getting money. - Rep. Bill Faison, D-Orange
So, in Mr. Faison's world, the NC lottery MIGHT not actually result in any money actually being received by the state. Seriously, that's his argument. The North Carolina Consitution is clear. It's just as clear that the Democrat-run legislature broke the rules. It's doubtful they will have to answer for it. So what's the point of having a Constitution again?

But aren't laws meant to be broken... by politicians?

Laws are only for the common folks -- they never apply to member of the royalty (aka politicians).
