Since the executive is empowered and charged by the people to exercise these extraordinary powers on the people’s behalf, the executive must be free of the threat of criminal prosecution for executing their charge within their official capacity.
If there was ever a case that needed a unanimous ruling from the Court, a shining light as to the limits of audacious attempts to thwart the law, this was the case. Instead, we have further evidence that the Supreme Court is a partisan political body where a far-right-wing element proved more than willing to expand its reactionary ideology and do so to align with what the nation knows is a dangerous and poisonous dagger to our democracy.
While the majority of the US Supreme Court does not define the “core constitutional powers,” certainly one of those “core” powers is the power given to the president to be the commander in chief of our armed forces. Former President Donald Trump has been a proponent of loosening the rules for our armed forces when they are abroad to allowing them to commit war crimes. This is not an exaggeration.
Evers’s Department of Workforce Development likes to boast about low unemployment rates and high labor force participation, but how is Wisconsin’s economy really doing?
If media outlets and civic groups are priced out of obtaining police video, one of the primary reasons for spending millions of tax dollars to outfit officers with cameras will have been undermined.
Especially now, with the cost of living permanently higher and still rising, making government efficient and cutting taxes is simply the right thing to do.
In a recent development, We Energies has announced plans to construct two massive new natural gas plants, potentially costing ratepayers billions of dollars. This move represents a significant backtrack on clean energy commitments and raises concerns about Wisconsin’s ability to provide more affordable energy sources in the future.
Failure to return to normal is costing taxpayers at least $50 million a year.
Data by state shows interesting trend for Wisconsin, the U.S.
Trump used the CNN telecast to filibuster, tell lie after lie and repeatedly refuse to answer direct questions from the CNN questioners. He is a one-trick pony: immigration.
Trump v. Biden 06-27-24 was a debacle. A blot on history. A stain upon the Republic. A national 9-1-1. Neither of these two … individuals … should be anywhere near the presidency.
What will it take to get Joe Biden to step aside? Probably bad polling numbers. Really bad polling numbers. Right now Biden, his family, his campaign and the leadership of the Democratic Party are all rallying around him. Whistling past the graveyard seems like a weak analogy.
The media and Democrats are in complete freak-out mode after Biden’s epic debate disaster Thursday night; talk is raging about how to get him off the ticket.
Through our labor union, the TAA, graduate workers have asked for regular meetings with Mnookin in what is known as a “Meet and Confer” relationship. These meetings would allow graduate workers to share their experiences and concerns with administration. Productive negotiation would follow. One such concern is divestment.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, discuss whether Gov. Tony Evers deserves the credit for recently announced major economic development projects. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and the Tommy G. Thompson Center on Public Leadership.
No matter what one thinks about how the debate impacts the election, it cannot be overstated how the world just saw that the United States is rudderless without a captain at the helm right now.
People wonder if he’s up to the job at even a basic level. Last night’s answer was a resounding, “No!” This raises questions not only of his competence but of those around him.
As much as the debate worried Democrats and progressives, who watched a glib, invigorated Trump appear to chew up a wan-looking Biden, that impression was made much, much worse by a journalistic outlet that let Trump lie and get away with it.
Every time Trump had the time to talk, he told fabulous lies. Biden did not look strong or in command of the debate at any time.
If former President Donald Trump wins in Wisconsin, he will win the presidency.
