Wisconsin flips the state Supreme Court

[butters]

And yes, I did see what happened in Tennessee. But that's a different state with a much larger GOP base, and even they at least waited until something happened that they could pretend was a reason to do it.

looks as if Jones is going to be back in his seat Monday Which further illustrates just how ridiculous the expulsion was!

Twenty-four members of the 40-seat Metropolitan Council confirmed to NBC News or on social media that they plan to vote to reinstate Jones to the legislature.

The council, which currently has 39 members, will hold a special meeting Monday to discuss an interim replacement for Jones' seat. Vice Mayor Jim Shulman said he expects the council will take action to suspend the rules at the meeting to vote on a successor to fill Jones's seat instead of holding a monthlong nomination period.

i believe it was also mentioned on a news programme that he cannot be punished for the same incident again, so if he's back in they cannot oust him again unless something new happens.

Some progressive democrats would have you believe Marxism is our positive vision for the future, our way forward, the big lie! Believing that a state supreme court justice should not interpret the law within constitutional norms but become the cavalry, an activist for the leftist agenda. SAD!

One party making the rich richer and yet it's one party picking and choosing the green energy companies.

Blaming one particular party for facilitating gun violence. That statement is laughable on its face. Dems like their guns too. Instead of blaming guns or placing blame on one party, which is such a half hearted unassuming trek into reality, try a realistic search for the real reasons dark hearts exist. How about good parenting, restrict kids access to poisonous chat rooms, replace entitlelism with discipline. Some of our esteemed institutions of higher learning are being overcomed by marxist revolutionaries where free speech is only free for one side. Diversity of thought is becoming a thing of the past, indoctrination over education, learning to think and reason rather than opress independent thought, debate over protest, self importance over teamwork. SAD!

Gender fluidity at the age of 5?

Some PB posters believe tearing down our institutions,* those institutions that kept our nation at the top of our game for centuries*..is democracy, and yet have nothing to replace it with. Some PB posters believe true patriotism is how loud they can shout out hatred for #45, believing that weaponizing the justice system to eliminate a political opponent by decree over the process of elections where the people can make their own choices. SAD They actually believe their hatred is a unifying mechanism and yet here we are spiralling into a death knell. Our nation's existence is on the line. Without borders we are not a nation. Without a justice system that is fair and balanced we cease to exist a nation. Bananas come to mind.

TRUMP IS NOT THE THREAT TO OUR DEMOCRACY, WE ARE! We are surrendering our individual rights to govern ourselves by allowing uncontrolled expansion of government itself. The more we allow government to impose on us, to think for us, to dictate how we live, to intrude in our most basic ways we live, to restrict parents on how to educate our children, we will soon be consumed by the very government that was designed to protect us from big government. The mechanism is in place to protect us from an overreaching government, it's called the constitution. If we don't teach it to our children then the document will simply vanish in time.

Marxism has laid waste to millions of true democracy seeking citizenry. History is littered with marxist failures causing the demise of true democracies veiled in the name of democracy.

Marxism is the trojan horse within our ranks today. Dems would have you believe an overbearing intrusive federal government is the path forward, individual rights are unfair and individuals should not excel, but stand still till everyone catches up because equity over equality!

Equity over equality is the new slogan. Equity is the new poison that progressive marxist would have you believe is true democracy. Dems ruling elites would have you believe that initiative, the quest for excellence, individual achievement infringes on peoples rights. Dems ruling elites would have you believe that systemic racism is at the core of all our institutions, that we as a people are inherently racist, another big lie!!

Speaking of women's rights These are the same ruling elites that would have you believe that men who disguise themselves as women are beating up your daughters in women sports That's OK, IT'S NORMAL??. Hey dads!! when are you going to stand up for your daughters and put an end to this fucking lunacy.

Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Gender has no place in K-12. Student belong in their seats, ears open and mouths shut! Speak when spoken to. K-12 students have more than they can handle on their plate without fucking up their minds with useless divisive minutiae. Our students aren't in class to be guinea pigs for the elitist teachers unions. Teacher/ Student, teach/ learn, test/ evaluate and promote excellence. All the other shit needs to disappear. Our students start pure but easily corrupted. Fill their minds with math, english, history, civics, science,music, geography. Not all students are equal in talent, some learn faster than others, separate those brighter students and fill their minds as fast as they can absorb. reward achievement and knock off participation awards. We need to be honest with our students. Teachers should be developing their strengths not enhancing their weaknesses. 1-12 students will separate from each other as they begin to develop individual interest.

All forms of communications other than what's provided by the teacher belong in their lockers PERIOD!!! If parents need to talk to their child, use the school system or school email.

Gosh, Gramps, you sound a bit defensive about the GOP's lack of inclusiveness and lack of a positive vision for the future. Get your fat ass out of the way, because a new generation is coming.

And if your future resembles the Tennessee trio, good luck with that! Plan on descending into total chaos. When DEI supersedes merit and proficiency good luck with that. Virtue signaling, DEI an hanging your hat on everything racism, well, that will take you only so far then reality sets in.

^^^I'll translate what Gramps says above:

Dagnabbit!! Those uppity young blacks in the Tennessee legislature! Dagnabbit!!! Those uppity queers!!! Dagnabbit!!!! Those uppity progressives!!! Let's go back to the time when we did not have to deal with any of 'em. Why, back in MY day...

History teaches if we listen. When young people are in positions of leadership you better hope they have the your interest in mind and not theirs. Young politicians thinking they knew better pushed to defund or augment police powers and now their constituents are paying the price. Police are citizens with equal rights and equal interests in their communities but a few zealots made decisions based on emotional reactions rather than wisdom. Revolting against the rule of law will achieve lawlessness every time.

A majority of the Nashville Council says they will vote to reinstate expelled Tennessee State Rep. Justin Jones, and Democrats in Memphis have more than enough votes to reinstate the other expelled Democrat, Rep. Justin Pearson.

Former Rep. Pearson could also be back in the chamber soon, as Democrats hold a super-majority on the Shelby County Council. As of Thursday, the council said it will consider Pearson’s reinstatement, provided there’s no legal reason preventing such an action. County assistant attorney Marcy Ingram told local news site The Commercial Appeal that she saw no legal difficulty in reinstating Pearson.

That's right, Gramps. That's why the leader of the GOP will be facing indictments in three separate cases. You old folks need to learn that lesson.

Rather than go through your whole marathon post, I chose to stop at the first straw man you set up. You managed to get there halfway through the very first sentence.

Contrary to what you hear on Fox News, "Marxism" does not encompass everything short of hunting the homeless for sport.

Modern day *Progressive ideology* is veiled in marxism. CRT in our schools K-12 teach and promote racism and systemic racism. Progressivism is in direct opposition of classic liberalism, pits racial groups against each other, destroying the concept of individualism in exchange for group thought. Classic liberalism promotes individual liberty over group rights.

Today's democratic party is not your father's democratic party of old.

You being a card carrying marxist well, just saying.

Shelby County, i hope you're listening to this attempt at sledgehammer bribery by lee and others... even as lee mouths niceties about addressing gun violence by strengthening background checks

Speaking to Politico journalist Jackie Padilla, Pearson said, "I'm hopeful that I'll be reinstated tomorrow. The truth is, state legislators and people at the Governor's office, I've been told, are threatening to withhold over $300 million of funding to Shelby County in Memphis if I am reinstated."

Pearson continued, "But the voices of the people are clear. They want, and deserve to have, restoration of representation. Their representation in District 86 was taken from them because their representatives stood up and spoke up for six people in Nashville who will never have the chance to speak again because they were killed by gun violence… Because we decided to speak up, they [GOP members] said their response was not to do something about gun violence, not to pass an assault weapons ban, not to have red flag laws, not to have gun safety storage laws, but to expel the voices who advocate for those things."

People like you have been saying that for a hundred years. Find a new bogeyman already.

CRT in our schools K-12 teach and promote racism and systemic racism.

CRT has never been taught in K-12. It's an elective in law schools. And it doesn't promote racism in any way. What it does teach is the role racism has played in the development of our legal system and how we can address the problems it has caused. I don't see the problem - and I'm convinced you don't either, which is why you insist on pretending it's something completely different from what it really is.

Progressivism is in direct opposition of classic liberalism, pits racial groups against each other, destroying the concept of individualism in exchange for group thought.

Translation: "We'd all get along a lot better if the coloreds and womenfolk stopped complaining." Perhaps, but we'd get along better still if we conquered racism and sexism. Whatever excess progressives may be guilty of, you could not plausibly accuse conservatives of trying to address either of those. At best they want to ignore them, at worst they want to celebrate them.

Today's democratic party is not your father's democratic party of old.

Tell it to Rightguide. He's the one who thinks history stopped in 1964.

You being a card carrying neo-Nazi, well, just saying. (You can no more prove me wrong about that than you can prove I've ever been a Marxist.)

trial set for sept.2024

Wisconsin judge on Thursday rejected an effort to dismiss a civil case against 10 fake electors for former President Trump and two of Trump’s attorneys, court records show.

The suit in Wisconsin was filed by two Democratic electors and a voter, and it alleged the defendants were part of Trump’s conspiracy to stay in power. They are seeking $2.4 million and are asking the judge to bar the GOP electors from serving as electors again. One of the defendants, attorney Kenneth Chesebro, is understood to be one of the unnamed coconspirators mentioned in the federal indictment against Trump.

and many don't feel their votes count. Which is true considering that most eligible voters don't actively vote.

There were people saying that back in 1986 when I first registered to vote. I was excited and so many people I told were like "why bother"

 

[Sean Renaud]

Well for many of us our vote really just plain doesn't count at least not on the national level. We're still more than a year out from the next election and I can tell you which party my state will vote for. I can fairly safely assume my Senators will be blue. Now reps is a slightly different issue but still.

Wisconsin Supreme Court chief justice accuses liberal majority of staging a ‘coup’

The conservative chief justice of the Wisconsin Supreme Court told the new liberal majority in a scathing email that they had staged a “coup” when they voted recently to weaken her powers and hire a new director of state courts.


This is pretty much the same as what the Legislature did when the new Governor was elected. They hurried up and stripped him of many powers before he even took office. But it was OK then because it was the 'Pubs doing it.
