Coming to you from the Daily Kos lounge at Netroots Nation. So far, other than the racist incident I blogged about yesterday I have met some awesome people and have learned a lot. However, being a Wisconsinite I have learned to keep on eye on goings on at home. Last evening during the Chairman's pub quiz I checked my facebook feed. One of the local Madison TV stations dropped a bombshell.
More below the fold....
The title of the story was, "Email suggests lawmakers knew court would act."
As soon as I could I jumped on the story to find out just what new curveball that the Fitzwalkers and the Wisconsin Supreme Court (Sponsored by Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce) had thrown at us.
"This Monday morning we met and were assured that the Supreme Court was going to rule by Wednesday and that that legislature was going to clean up all the loose ends," Buesing wrote in the email.
Now Waukesha County and the election discrepancies stunk to high heaven. This...smacks of collusion between the Supreme Court and the state legislature. At this point the State of Wisconsin Republic of Fitzwalkerstan has lost its ability to police itself. There is no accountability.
Now, at this time as this is still somewhat breaking news we do not know a lot of the details. However, with all of the shenanigans that the GOP have pulled since January it is time for a federal investigation into the Wisconsin Legislature and the Wisconsin Supreme Court. If they find nothing - Great, then Wisconsin's clean government reputation can be returned. If they do find evidence of wrongdoing - then it will be out in the public and those that participated in the alleged illegal activities will have their day in court and justice will be served.
