The conservative-controlled Wisconsin Supreme Court has upheld Republican-authored lame-duck laws that curtailed the powers of the incoming Democratic attorney general.

The Associated Press

The Wisconsin laws curtailed the powers of both the governor and attorney general, but the case decided Thursday dealt primarily with powers taken from Kaul. Republicans designed the laws to prohibit Evers from pulling Wisconsin out of a multistate lawsuit challenging the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, and to ensure that they have a say in court if Kaul chooses not to defend GOP-authored laws.

The Legislature's top Republicans, Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, hailed the ruling as a victory. Kaul said in a phone interview that he wasn't sure what his next steps would be, but he didn't rule out that he or his allies might file more challenges.

Good. The system works correctly.

Just disgusting

What does lame duck laws mean?

Unbelievable

“Evers echoed that sentiment in a statement of his own, saying Republicans have been working against him “every chance they get, regardless of the consequences.” Where have I seen this before 🤔

Great news.

Doing all they can until they no longer have the majority. So much for a non partisan justice system.

Maybe legal, but is it right? I'd say it's blatantly undemocratic & corrupt af. GOP proves themselves unfit to govern at pretty much ever level, but the WI GOP are a special kind of shitbirds.

Might be the most openly politically biased headline ever written.

WOW..something really screwed up with Wisconsin politics... WisDemGov2018 you guys needs some serious help

Supreme Court Expands Religious-School Exemption From Civil-Rights LawsThe Supreme Court expanded religious schools’ exemption from civil-rights laws, the latest in a series of decisions elevating the role of religious exercise and sectarian institutions in American society. Religion is basically just a license to legalize BS. It's not only schools that can deny women birth control. This is an attempt by the right-wing religious fanatics to attack women at all levels of American life. Religious freedom does not mean freedom to impose your religion on others. Also hate and bigotry are not religion.

'This administration has consistently stone walled Congress': Melissa Murray reacts to Supreme Court ruling'This administration has consistently stone walled Congress': Melissa Murray reacts to the Supreme Court ruling on President Trump's financial records. Protecting individual rights is granted in the constitution.....Something left wing Marxists won't understand........ Murray's comments on the decision, though astute, are undermined by the misrepresentation that Trump's judicial appointments are remarkable in number. Measured against his recent predecessors, this is just inaccurate.
