Legislature asks Montana Supreme Court to withdraw opinion
Led by Republican lawmakers, the Montana Legislature is asking the state Supreme Court to withdraw its opinion and order in a case decided last month where justices unanimously said the Legislature exceeded its authority by subpoenaing judicial records.
In a court filing Wednesday, Kristin Hansen, the lieutenant general in the state Department of Justice, asks the state’s high court to “enter the field of negotiation and accommodation for the good of Montana.”
