Today is the deadline for the parties challenging Gov. Pawlenty's unallotment authority to file their legal briefs with the Minnesota Supreme Court. Pawlenty is appealing a ruling by a Ramsey County District Court judge that reinstated a nutrition program for low income Minnesotans. The judge said Pawlenty crossed the line regarding the separation of powers when he unilaterally cut $2.7 billion in spending last July.

Here's the brief from Legal Aid in support of the folks on the nutrition program.
