“Are Wisconsin GOPers Blocking Elections To Protect Their Gerrymander?”
Does anyone really need to ask?
No holds barred, Nothing off limits. All means are now justified by the ends. Fascism or bust.

Not sure about everywhere, but I’ve heard they do in Bavaria (where, incidentally, the trees are made of wood).

OT, as I do not want to let the anti-gun protests die, here is the Hogg ‘twins’ responding to a CNN anchor who should be on Fox News about Rubio and that ass-wipe Santorum.
Note: CNN pays Santorum.
These ‘kids’ are amazing in their responses.

Republicans, you are in power.
Hold the elections now, and do it well.
We won’t accept excuses for failure.
GOP tactics to maintain a majority in both Houses of Congress:
- Gerrymandering on steroids
- Restrict access to the voting booth by the poor, students, and the elderly.
- Eliminate valid voter registration forms based on party affiliation.
And when all else fails … cancel the election.

A GOP wake up call for Scotty is ‘I’ll call David and Charles first thing in the morning for more cash while the rest of you read Roger Stone’s book on election trickery.’

You just know after the tourney, ACC teams are going to try to poach Sister Jean. She’s going to get big money offers from North Carolina, Duke and others.

"But that ignores the reality that extraordinary sessions (called by the legislature) or special sessions (which can be called only be the governor) can be convened to consider specific topics or bills. "
It also ignores the plain language of the statute (8.50(4)(d)) which also mentions a “veto review period” as a legislative period for which vacancies must be filled. And ignoring any other ‘special sessions’, etc., there is a veto review period scheduled for May. Even if the vacancies happened as late as May, the ‘veto review period’ would require the vacancies be filled, per the statute. And these vacancies happened WAY earlier than that.

That logic can be a powerful weapon.

How many Constitutional amendments are we going to need to prevent this anti-voter madness from happening again? We got three after the Civil War.

I would deem the question posed in the headline as purely rhetorical. Of course the GOP is trying to “protect their gerrymander.” The new GOP slogan is, “If you can’t beat 'em, CHEAT!”

Nah. It’s not an either/or, and this kind of scandal is in the DNA of this website.
But more importantly, the Stormy affair is not so much about sex as it is about taking apart the paper edifice that is the foundation for Trump’s power. This really isn’t about her money or her affair, it’s about coercion and corruption. It’s about physical and financial and legal threats, and about using the very systems of justice and law that are presumed to protect us as a blunt tool of intimidation.

You can’t charge someone with a criminal offense if the law wasn’t in place at the time of the crime. So shouldn’t the rules for special elections, etc be the ones in place when the court ruled and the situation occurred?
