The Arkansas Supreme Court and chief justice are in a power struggle over who can fire officials
The Arkansas Supreme Court and its chief justice are in a power struggle over who can fire its top officials. Chief Justice Karen Baker on Wednesday voided an order five members of the court issued last week blocking her attempts to fire several top officials. The move is part of a power struggle that has erupted in the days since Baker was sworn in as chief justice. The justices and Baker are fighting over who has the authority to fire the officials. Baker won the nonpartisan race for chief justice in November.
