After the Supreme Court of the United States legislated from the bench this past session, republicans celebrated.
But when Wisconsin's Act 10 was passed in 2011 it was very much unconstitutional from the get-go. A stacked, gerrymandered republican legislature and a republican WI Supreme Court, led by a judge who choked one of his fellow judges, ensured that our idiot governor at the time, Scott Walker, got his way around our state laws.
Now that a smart judge has ruled that indeed Act 10 violates WI State Law, it's suddenly NOT OK for judges to legislate from the bench. Here's a quote from Devin LeMaheieu, a sad little king of his sad little village of Oostburg WI:
“Once again, the only way the Democrats can get their way is through activist judges dropping decisions on a holiday weekend when no one is watching. Unfortunately, if this decision stands, it will cost Wisconsin's hard-working families millions of dollars.”
Fuck you and your hypocrisy Devin. Stand up and be for or against judicial legislation. You cannot praise the republican cult leader's interpretation of immunity from the SCOTUS as acceptable bench legislation, then turn around and get pissy when a judge points out serious factual errors within Act 10. You cannot have it both ways.
I call on you to speak up against trump, SCOTUS, and the immunity ruling from earlier this week, or come on and admit you were wrong about Act 10. Which will it be, sir? Is judicial legislation only OK for republicans? Come out and say that then. Say the quiet part out loud.
It's what your cult party does best.
