The conservative chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court told the new liberal majority in a scathing email that they had staged a “coup” when they voted recently to weaken her powers and hire a new director of state courts.

    Hahaha cry me a fucking river. Tell that the North Carolina’s governor when state Republicans tried to strip away powers after he beat the Republican nominee. She can eat a dick.

      The problem is the GOP has the moral compass of a toddler.

      The suspicion that their enemies cheated is more important than the reality of their own cheating.

          Pretty much

          It is the main reason why the Obama strategy of, “When they go low we go high.” Is a complete failure, you simply cannot shame a republican into following decorum, because they, just like the American people, do not give a shit about decorum, because they’re too concerned with results.

          The Republican Strategy is actually admirable simply because they said “You go high, we’ll stay low, and our constituents will thank us for it.”

          It’s just a shame that this results driven motivation, this understanding that means are entirely irrelevant as long as you get the ends you’re after, could do much good for america. Instead it’s being used to make sure that a law that says we will stone a woman in the town square for having a miscarriage it’s simply more realistic to imagine passing in this day and age, rather than ensuring that Americans have access to housing and Medicine.

      Toss on metropolitan areas in Texas that are having their entire municipal legislative power ham stringed.
