When I lived in Wisconsin in the 70s it was widely known and respected as a state with open and transparent government. When it was reported that some legislators were using a WATS line for personal phone calls it was considered a major scandal. That has all been obliterated since the GOP putsch of 2010. Now WI competes with IL, LA and NJ for title of Most Corrupt State.

It’s his job to defend the lawsuit.

What’s not his job is ratfucking and gas-lighting everyone in sight in the course of that defense. Those components will the responsibility of the GOP’s DC law firm.

Good luck with that, guys. You do know the AG’s going to see all that shit, don’t you?

On the other hand, if his office reviewed the case and determined that in their legal opinion the gerrymandered map was, in fact, unconstitutional, wouldn’t that be a basis for declining to defend it, a la Sally Yates and the Muslim ban?

They were ruled unconstitutional by a panel of federal judges in 2015 because they were so favorable to the GOP, but the Supreme Court declined last June to take up the case.

Emphasis mine – shouldn’t this be “and”, because by declining to take the case, the Supreme Court in effect confirms the lower court ruling? Or is the result that something else happens with the case?

If they’re going to tap something this time of year, I’d like it to be a keg of Deschutes Obsidian Stout.

Congratulations, you’ve been “eustaced”!

eustace is a master of snark and parody/fake RW trollery. The rest of us mere mortals sit in awe at his feet. But he’s One Of Us, only on a much higher level.
