I Am So Tired Of Republicons
Wisconsin Supreme Court takes case challenging Gov. Tony Evers' vetoes
The article explains, "Those bringing the lawsuit are asking the court to reverse vetoes that effectively rewrote parts of the budget written by Republicans who control the Legislature."
It continues, "Ordinarily the Supreme Court waits for cases to go through lower courts before taking a case. But Esenberg asked the justices to take the case immediately so that the case could be resolved quickly. He acknowledged this summer that lower courts would have been required to side with Evers because of Supreme Court precedents. But the high court is free to rule on the case as it sees fit. Esenberg is seeking to overturn precedents going back to 1935."
No need for a paper trail from the lower courts reiterating the precedent. Much easier for the conservative State Supreme Court to agree to hear the case and pretend there's no history here to consider.
These Republicons are so slimy and corrupt.
Republicons have no problem ignoring precedent. They have no problem wasting taxpayer time and money. This is clearly self-serving, anti-democratic grandstanding. Another attempt, like gerrymandering, at consolidating their power.
Three taxpayers represented by the conservative Wisconsin Institute for Law & Liberty asked the high court in July to take their challenge directly, without making them first go through the lower courts.The Wisconsin Institute For Law And Liberty [try not to laugh at the ridiculousness and outright misdirection of the organization's name] was formed in 2011. What has taken them 8 years to challenge the governor's veto powers? Oh, yeah, if a Republicon is doing the vetoing then it's fine.
The court agreed to do so Wednesday, according online court records. A ruling is expected by summer.
The lawsuit argues Evers exceeded his authority by issuing vetoes that enact policies the Legislature hasn't endorsed. It's a practice that governors from both parties have engaged in for decades. The state Supreme Court has repeatedly sided with governors over the years, granting them extensive veto powers.
Wednesday's decision to take the new challenge means the high court is willing to at least consider whether it should reverse its long-standing precedents. Conservatives control the court 5-2.
