Wisconsin’s rural counties may suffer — a lot — from his policies.
“Sinners” is not just a great movie; it is a case study of why we must fight to preserve and teach history in all its complexity.
The column below reflects the views of the author, and these opinions are neither endorsed nor supported by WisOpinion.com. May 1st is Law Day, an opportunity to celebrate a bedrock of our nation, the Rule of Law. As Wisconsin lawyers,
While our state sits on a surplus of $4 billion, I believe it’s high time we invest that money to improve the quality of life for Wisconsinites.
In higher ed, consulting fees and big technology buys go hand-in-hand with austerity.
Unlike at public universities, like the UW, where other students and I felt afraid to speak our minds or disclose the love of our country or even mention God, at Hillsdale, students and teachers can talk their minds.
If the events occurred as described in the affidavit of criminal complaint against circuit court judge Hannah Dugan are accurate, then she committed obstruction of justice and concealing an individual to prevent his discovery and arrest, and it’s extremely difficult to envision an alternate interpretation of the known facts that would exculpate Judge Dugan.
Like the effort to return Joshua Glover to slavery, this is a bad case, built on bad law, pursued for bad reasons.

Friends come and go; enemies accumulate. Lyin’ Ted may have needed to kowtow, Canadians don’t and won’t.
Over the past weeks, the bluster and shoot-from-the-hip mentality of Trump, along with the haphazard moves regarding tariffs, has further informed China that they can outmaneuver this White House.
Republicans put four constitutional changes before voters last year, passing two of them.
In the case of the People of Wisconsin versus Elon Musk, Susan Crawford got to write the opinion for the majority in Wisconsin. And it was Justice Marshall, in absentia, concurring.
Milwaukee judge who loves the U.S. Constitution and history has fueled a national controversy.
No one is above the law — except progressive judges.
Cuts to Medicaid means denying millions of Americans access to desperately-needed supports and the right to live with dignity.
President Trump’s administration revoked the legal status of Christians who face death if forced to return to Taliban-led Afghanistan.
