Let’s all play the blame game after Tuesday’s crushing defeat. Because there’s plenty to go around.
With strong anti-Trump sentiment and Democratic enthusiasm voters can effect change. They were able to carry their message into the Court and with continued determination can do the same in the fall elections.
We have to believe that something has happened to the drinking water after seeing the results of the state treasurer referendum. The position is basically dormant except for a constitutional requirement that we elect someone to hold the office.
On April 3, nine communities in Wisconsin voted by overwhelming margins for a referendum that calls for a constitutional amendment declaring that corporations aren’t persons and money isn’t speech.
And why the company may get away with it.
Dallet vs Screnock a rerun of Kloppenburg vs Prosser for Supreme Court in 2011?
April elections comprise an entirely different electorate than the state typically sees in the fall, and the campaigns don’t remotely resemble the intensity and spending of November elections.
In “Two Minutes with Mitch” radio personality Mitch Henck says Tuesday’s Wisconsin Supreme Court race between Rebecca Dallet and Michael Screnock could be a test of a blue wave for Democrats in the November 2018 midterm election.
Government agencies should always be cognizant of their duties under transparency laws. But these duties gain extra import when government holds information that can help protect public health and safety.
On the Daily Standard Podcast, Adam Keiper and Stephen White join to discuss his recent article The Pope’s Mess, a review of Ross Douthat’s book about Pope Francis. Later, Andrew Egger and Jim Swift discuss the battle royale inside the West Wing to replace Hope Hicks, and host Charlie Sykes provides an update on Gov. Scott Walker’s special election folly.

Wisconsin is working. We don’t want to turn back. Together, let’s keep moving Wisconsin forward.
The more I see those nasty television attack ads that are paid for by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, the more I wonder how the many leaders of the state’s business community, most of them dues-paying members of WMC, are able in good conscience to stomach them.
Big business group wants to buy another high court justice, as WMC has admitted.
Ronald Reagan used to remark how “freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.” For Wisconsin conservatives, the saying should be “Walker’s bold conservative reforms are never more than one liberal-majority state Supreme Court away from extinction.”
You don’t go to San Francisco, to Nancy Pelosi’s backyard, groveling for cash without promising to be a social justice warrior in robes. Dallet has San Francisco values; Screnock played the tuba in the University of Wisconsin-Madison marching band.
The appearance of bias can be just as damaging to the integrity of the judicial process as actual bias. Wisconsinites should demand a recusal rule with teeth to maintain confidence in our legal system.
An altered line-item veto wouldn’t be a panacea for solving government overspending. But exposing earmarks was a good idea in the 1990s and still is now.
