Wisconsin's Supreme Court Follies

[bobabode]

"One of the liberal Wisconsin Supreme Court justices who now make up the panel's majority after 15 years of conservative control strongly rejected right-wing Chief Justice Annette Ziegler's accusation on Monday that the liberal justices have staged a "coup" by voting on key court business.

Ziegler wrote to interim state court director Audrey Skwierawski on Monday to demand that she stop signing off on court business that she was hired earlier this month to oversee, claiming the liberal justices took part in an "illegal experiment" when Skwierawski was appointed to oversee state court operations, the judiciary's budget, and other business.

In the email obtained by the Associated Press, Ziegler wrote that Skwierawski should not sign off on assignments of reserve judges, who fill in for state judges when they are ill or need to be absent for another reason. Skwierawski has signed off on nearly 30 such assignments since Justice Janet Protasiewicz was sworn in on August 1, giving the liberals a 4-3 majority." CD

This is the kind of nonsense that we are going to be seeing from the Republican party as they find themselves losing more and more general elections, losing more state legislature and Congressional seats, losing more state supreme court and local court contests. And losing another presidential election next year...which will make it eight out of the last nine presidential elections where the Democratic candidate got the most votes.

Seven out of the last eight eight presidential elections where the Democratic candidate got the most votes. Well if it's one thing the GOP excels at it's reading the room.

Back in 2020 right after the election was called for Biden, Lindsay Graham stood in front of the cameras and warned the party and Republican voters that if they didn't do something about early voting, absentee voting, and voting by mail, that the GOP would never win another Presidential election.

Translation: Too many Democrats are allowed to vote.
