The Wisconsin Elections Commission continues to stonewall open records requests from the Assembly committee investigating the 2020 elections.
In Wisconsin open records case, conservatives sledgehammer the state’s open records law.
I would like liberals to have a majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court. But I would also like those liberals to be fair-minded, to follow the law even when it leads them to conclusions that they don’t personally like, and most definitely to not be captured by hard-left fundamentalism.
Putting aside the argument that Wisconsin’s laws on abortion are seemingly in conflict, even if the laws on abortion were crystal clear, prosecutors still exercise enormous discretion in determining whether to charge people with crimes.
Make them earn your vote.
What the reactionaries find offensive is nothing more than Barnes’ echoing the language of Wisconsinites who have long recognized the violent arrangements upon which this country was founded.
Only 12 states, including Wisconsin, have refused to implement Affordable Care Act Medicaid expansion, despite fiscal, health, moral and political benefits.
Drop boxes aren’t a threat to democracy. The problem is judicial activism by Republican-aligned jurists who reject the rule of law and embrace the Orwellian dictate that, “The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power.”
The conservative majority on the court banned unstaffed drop boxes and insisted that absentee voters, even those with severe physical disabilities, must personally deliver their absentee ballots to the clerk if they are not mailing them in.
The decision finds Wisconsin law gives local health czars unilateral power to restrict public gatherings, issue wide-ranging quarantines, or just about anything they deem necessary to check communicable diseases. They don’t need approval from local elected officeholders to push their power.
Wisconsinites of all political bents, stripes and backgrounds have a stake in the integrity and legitimacy of those who oversee our natural resource policies and administration.
Supreme Court extremists just overruled EPA regulations of greenhouse emissions, a regulatory discipline in which they have no expertise, experience or standing.
Nothing is out of bounds. Poised to hear cases on affirmative action in higher education and whether business owners can discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community, SCOTUS is charting new territory. They are blazing a path and dumping established law along the way.
Now that the U.S. Supreme Court has rolled back a woman’s right to choose whether to have an abortion, the power of the state reaches right through us, deciding what happens inside our bodies.
75% of America’s 17- to 24-year-olds are ineligible due to lack of education, obesity, or criminality.
There is a growing housing crisis affecting our families, and the runaway inflation we are living through is deepening that crisis. Without help, too many parents, children, and seniors will become homeless.
What has gone largely unnoticed as the House hearings on the Jan. 6 insurrection continue is the revelation of how Donald Trump and his entourage have fleeced their own loyal supporters out of roughly $250 million.
The WisOpinion Insiders, Chvala and Jensen, look at the upcoming partisan primaries for U.S. Senate and Wisconsin governor. Sponsored by the Wisconsin Counties Association and Michael Best Strategies.
“This will not pass: Trump, Biden and the Battle for America’s Future” takes the reader from the last months of Donald Trump’s presidency through Joe Biden’s first year.
As motorists continue to confront record-high gas prices, front-runners — Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes, Milwaukee Bucks executive Alex Lasry, and Wisconsin State Treasurer Sarah Godlewski — support suspending the federal gas tax.
