    YES! Voters in WI can wake the fuk up and vote him out in November!

    For your immediate question I think Walker threw in the towel when he lost his appeal, most likely because his cronies on the WI Supreme Court told him they'd support the lower court's ruling. Presumably he could continue to defy it causing a constitutional issue unless the courts ordered the election themselves but I'm guessing in an election year that's a bridge too far and maybe the Koch Bros told him to roll over and play dead like a good lap dog.

        I hope the Court rules it's unconstitutional, strictly on the basis of political partisanship. We need the precedent that political parties can no more violate voting rights than the states.

        The 14th Amendment extended Constitutional limitations on the federal government to the state governments. We need an amendment extending Constitutional limitations to corporate entities like political parties and private businesses. They are more powerful than the states, now, anyway, and they are where the lion's share of outright discrimination and harassment take place.

          Absolutely.

            Anthony Kennedy has the power to end all this. If he adopts the wasted vote standard, I'm sure the libs will go along with him and gerrymandering gets severely curbed.

              Are you? I'm not sure. I think there are really good arguments to be made on both sides. Ideally this would not be an issue that was partisan -- it would be a genuine Constitutional question. Now, it's true that the righty 4 are hacks who decide everything on partisanship and screw the Constitution, but the ideal of considering a question on its merits is still at least an intellectually theoretical possibility.

              I'm actually hoping that Alito and Thomas can't help themselves and rule reflexively against the MD Dems without stopping to consider that partisan districting is the mechanism that has allowed the GOP to hold the House despite losing the net House vote by more than a million.

                  Minnesota's GOP legislature spends $400,000 of taxpayers money to sue Democratic governor Mark Dayton on a line item veto that the Minnesota State Supreme Court approved last November. Republican Senate Majority Leader Paul Gazelka says he wishes taxpayers weren't responsible for covering the legal bills.

                      Wouldn't matter if nobody voted for them. The CPUSA is out there every year doing their thing, and people rightly just point and laugh. We won't be a healthy nation until that's how voters treat the GOP.

                        Stacey Dash ("Clueless" star turned conservative commentator) entered a California State House race last month. She bowed out today, saying she "wants no part of plantation politics."

                        As if she had a snowball's chance anyway.
