SHEPARD, Chief Justice,
dissenting.
This case presents several issues of considerable importance about the operation of Indiana government, such as whether legislators' votes should be recorded on amendments to the state's multi-billion-dollar budget, how citizens can learn whether their own legislators voted yes or no on those amendments, and whether the distribution of powers article in the Indiana Constitution prevents the judiciary from taking notice of such matters. I cannot agree that all these issues are so simple that they should be resolved in a few paragraphs through the supervisory procedure of a *1099writ of prohibition. I would permit the trial court to complete the litigation so that we could hear the matter through the regular appellate process.
KRAHULIK, J., concurs.
