Republicans wasting Republican money defeating Republicans to install Republicans.

Win-win-win-win.

Fun case I found:

While the default right-of-way rule for vehicles under Wis. Stat. 346.18(1) could plausibly cover airplanes, the WI Supreme Court did not believe the Legislature intended it to do so and the Court was unsure how some terms like “intersection” would apply to air highways.

Air Wisconsin, Inc. v North Central Airlines, Inc., 98 Wis. 2d 301, 321 (1980).

@JasonPerseus I believe railroads on the East Coast once tried to block airlines by seeking to have rules on track crossings applied to them. Didn’t know about the Wisconsin angle

"Wisconsin Picks New Legislative Maps That Would End Years of GOP Gerrymandering"

https://www.propublica.org/article/new-wisconsin-district-map-gop-gerrymander-elections

"Under legal pressure to address Wisconsin’s 'Swiss cheese' and oddly shaped districts, the Legislature approved redrawn maps that promise to create a new dynamic in a state known for its pivotal role in national politics."

Wisconsin Supreme Court:

Contiguous means contiguous, and does not mean detached.

Wisconsin Supreme Court:

Contiguity helps prevent this legislative evil (you may have never heard of it) called gerrymandering. Not that the legislature would ever do that? Ammirite? Right?

Let’s not be dramatic or anything, it’s just a checks opinion judicial coup and the dangerous threat to liberty ever faced by Wisconsinites. 🤣

As someone who has been denied equal representation under law in this state since I’ve been an adult, I find this hilarious.

Gerrymandering has been the single greatest threat to my liberty in my life.

So ends the Handmaiden of the Republican Party’s dissent. 😌

“Where does this cycle end? Must this court also allow additional future parties to simply sit this litigation cycle out and come forward next court term—or after the next court election—and present already litigated claims again?”

WI SC Justice Ziegler thinks the answer should be “it ends after my partisan preferences are served and before there is an opportunity to undo it, thereby cementing minority-rule indefinitely.”

Clarke v. W.E.C., 2023 (dissent).

“This litigation chips away at the public's faith in the judiciary as an independent, impartial institution . . .”

😂

I don’t think the WI SC ever had the public’s faith as an independent, impartial institution.

I came into adulthood with conservative justices strangling liberal justices in the back rooms of that institution.

I watched the last four years as the former Chief Justice (Gableman) fabricated evidence and defied courts to aid an insurrection.

If you’re interested: the conservative Justice in question is no other than “I touched her neck, but she suffered no harm” Prosser, another former WI Chief Justice of the conservative persuasion.

A 2nd former justice asked 2 investigate taking unprecedented step o impeaching liberal justice came out Wed against it.

Former Justice told there was nothing 2 justify impeaching Justice , as some lawmakers have floated because of comments she made during campaign about redistricting & donations she accepted from Party.

“I do not favor impeachment,” Wilcox said in phone interview.
