While Marsy’s Law has good intentions, it was not drafted with the existing protections for victims under the Wisconsin Constitution in mind. So it is likely to burden our state with unclear, unfunded mandates while presenting grave risks to the constitutional protections for citizens of Wisconsin accused of crimes.
I stay home to help halt the COVID-19 pandemic. It is as if we all have gone back in time to a more sedentary life. There is only occasional traffic down my rural road – a single car, the milk truck bound for the dairy farm a mile west, the UPS truck making deliveries. There is little else and it is so quiet. It brings back other times when life paused.
Even more than before, this pandemic has shown us that we need a leader in the White House who can unite our country and steer us through a crisis. That’s Joe Biden.
Pandemic overshadowing what could have been important election.
These principles should guide Wisconsin lawmakers as they confront the current public health and economic crisis.
Refusal of Vos and Fitzgerald to postpone election could cause more disease, deaths.
Hard data on the coronavirus and its effects in the Badger State has been slow in coming, if available at all, from Secretary-designee Andrea Palm’s Department of Health Services.
As McConnell has done time after time during his ignoble Senate leadership, he again was stacking the deck in an effort to direct the bulk of the coronavirus bailout to the top 1% of the American financial system. While the minority Democrats pushed for more of the roughy $2 trillion plan to go directly to working people who are suffering the most in this calamity.
Will Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders win the Wisconsin presidential primary? Let us know your thoughts in a new WisOpinion poll.

Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It is not a failure. It is, in fact, the opposite.
As perhaps the single most liberal, soft-on-crime judge on the single most liberal, soft-on-crime court in the state, Karofsky has repeatedly bent over backwards to not hold violent criminals accountable.
Judge Karofsky is prepared to serve on the Supreme Court and deserves an overwhelming victory.
The amendment, commonly known as Marsy’s Law for Wisconsin, seeks to strengthen the rights of crime victims to ensure their rights are equal alongside those of the accused. No more, no less.
Imagine the potential psychological and human toll if this shutdown continues indefinitely, unemployment reaches 20% or higher, as some now predict, and we sink into a deep recession or depression.
Many states doing better, data suggests. Milwaukee County looks behind, too.
Is it really wise or noble to sacrifice our way of life, even for a moment, in an effort to save a small percentage of the population– when it seems possible, and perhaps even probable, we are not even pursuing the most effective strategies to protect that vulnerable, small percentage of our population? We should stop conceding our right and duty to think and decide on such questions to the health experts who occupy unelected offices.
In recent weeks, some northern Wisconsin counties have drawn a COVID-19 line asking visitors to stay away—the opposite of the welcoming and inviting messages they have spent millions of dollars sending over decades—and threatening those that do come.
It’s no wonder he’s been elected for 64 years. He has stood for what’s good about Wisconsin and its people.
