Score one for judicial independence.

The Mississippi Supreme Court refused to review a case involving a ruling that Gov. Haley Barbour says hurts his tort reform legislation:

Barbour and the association had argued the decision undermined tort reform, increased health-care costs and potentially reduced access to health care in parts of Mississippi. The court on Dec. 3 refused to rehear the case with Justice Mike Randolph the lone dissenter.

It’s nice to see that their original ruling will stand, a ruling one can only presume the court rooted in law and not in politics.

Sorry, governor.
