A Republican state senator on the Senate Appropriations Committee slashed $500,000 from the AG's budget request, citing lawsuits against school districts as the reason.

Schmitt hurt our schools financially. He should be fired!

Jack L

How could anyone NOT trust a face like that? xD

Max

The school board members that chose to break the law, hurt your schools financially. Eric upheld the law. The school board members should be held responsible, for any and all losses.

Jack L

Eric Schmitt needs to keep his nose out of school board decisions. He`s only doing this so he can advance himself politically. Leave the schools alone

Adam

Amen Jack

Max

School boards don't write the laws, but they do have to obey them..

Adam

This piece of crap has/had nothing better to do than sue schools for protecting our children. Just because HE thinks it's wrong, doesn't mean he can bully schools into doing it how he thinks it should be done

Adam

And I sure as hell hope I'm never like he is.

Max

I am glad that Eric and I are a Christians, and don't think about the sickness that you adore.

Adam

Take a second to breathe and pry your mouth off Eric's junk already. Good lord

Max

Thirty minutes of research, and you would find out just how wonderful of a person Eric Schmitt is, and how many good things he has done for Missouri and our Nation. You could never even follow Eric through even one days work. You and Jackle are nothing compared to Eric, and never will be.

Adam

Same place you get your common sense. Oh right you and the rest of the right wing whack jobs don't have that

Max

Oh, it's little Adam, the legal advisor. Where did you get your law degree? Cheerios, Wheaties, or Captain Crunch?

Many Missourians were opposed to school mask mandates when they were in place.

He made a ruling that some didn't like regarding schools and masks. He also made some happy with the same rule. This is another example of people trying to punish and silence others, who don't follow their way of thinking. So very childish.

Max

The liberals at Columbia Public Schools had issues with obeying the law.

Max

Eric Schmitt could become Missouri's next US Senator. There are many fine GOP people in this race. If Eric wins, he will have my full support. He has done an outstanding job, as Missouri's Atty. General. I don't have any respect for the RINO that wants to slash his budget. LGB

This News Outlet even asking this question is playing politics and not standing up for the Constitution. How about asking: Do you Support the Consititution? Or Do You Think Schmitt Upheld the US Consitution? Let’s see that question instead.

Should have filed more.

The current administration of Iran has proven to be unreliable and is not trustworthy.

Max

Iran has plenty of oil for energy generation.

Fred

No, not as long as the current regime is in power. Theocracies are always bad news ... something we should keep in mind!

Max

That has been going on since the Prophet Muhammad found the Muslim church in 610 AD.

The Constitution vests the power in the legislative branch to ensure decisions on war are made democratically, rather than by a single person.

It would take congress years to make a decision, and the amount of pork required would be phenomenal. Congress is dysfunctional.

Max

Most congressmen are millionaires, but our nation is nearly $40 Trillion in debt.

Max

Congress can't even pass a budget to fund the government.
