Sen. Scott Fitzgerald and Rep. Robin Vos — the leaders in the legislative majority — refuse to let a good crisis go to waste. The crisis being COVID-19, which is a dream come true for voter suppressionists like Big Fitz and The Popcorn Colonel.
Seriously. I don’t know how they sleep at night.
Wisconsin Spring Election: Manitowoc Minute
Here in Wisco, we’re struggling with how to hold a Spring election in the middle of a pandemic. There’s a simple and sensible way of handling it but — you know — politicians don’t like “simple and sensible.” At least our Republican Majority Leadership doesn’t like “simple and sensible.”
State leaders made clear hours before Molson Coors shooting there will be no new action on gun legislation
“All I want is a discussion. We had (two) really common-sense solutions on the table that they wouldn’t even talk about. And that’s the frustration I have about politics these days.”

Losing Sheila’s Smile – Systems Change Consulting
Christmas Eve 2019 ~ yet another senseless gun-related death that argubly might have been prevented. A brother with a known psychosis — and a conceal carry permit — shoots his sister to death.
The Senate Majority Leader and the Assembly Leader both should think long and hard about their actions in October because, if this keeps up, someone close to them is going to be affected by gun violence. It’s not “if” but “when.”
Sheila’s friends and family are all grieving now for such a needless loss. It is especially needless because there are extreme risk protection laws in 17 states also known as red flag laws which are specifically designed to prevent murders by people who are known to be dangerous. These laws authorize courts to issue a protection order, allowing the police to temporarily confiscate firearms from people who are deemed by a judge to be a danger to themselves or to others. Usually, the request for the order will come from relatives or friends concerned about a loved one who owns one or more guns and has expressed suicidal thoughts or discussed shooting people.
Wisconsin, however, is not one of those states. However, it could easily have had this law in place in time to protect Sheila from her brother, who was a known danger who legally possessed a gun. This past October, Gov. Evers called a special legislative session to consider to common sense gun control measures: universal background checks and red flag legislation. Despite the fact that 80% of Wisconsin residents support passage of these laws, Republican legislative leaders refused to vote on or even debate these popular measures. In an utter act of contempt for voters, Senate Majority leader Scott Fitzgerald dismissed the Senate in 30 seconds and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos dismissed the Assembly in 15 seconds. Gov. Evers has considered calling another special session on these measures, but thus far, has not done so.
Wisconsin Republican lawmakers vote to hire own attorneys, bypassing state’s Democratic attorney general, in major voter purge lawsuit
This is the state of politics in not just Wisco but all over the country. It’s sad .. and it’s dangerous. Voter Suppresssion is a fascist move. Fascism begets mistrust. So .. here we are.
Republican legislators have decided to hire their own attorneys in a federal lawsuit seeking to keep more than 200,000 voter registrations in place.The move again underscores the rift between the GOP and Democratic Attorney General Josh Kaul. Republicans don’t trust him to defend their position in the suit.
Trump adviser: “the party has “traditionally” relied on voter suppression to compete in battleground states …”
These bastards will deny it to your face but what they say in private is another matter. Voter suppression is real, folks. Just ask ’em .. but do it behind closed doors.

Robin Vos says accommodations likely for paralyzed lawmaker
He just can’t do what’s right without stomping his feet like a little child.
“Assembly Republicans are going to figure a way to address it and we’re going to bring changes to the Legislature and I’m sure at the end of the day we’re going to make accommodations, and there will be no news coverage of it because it’s all about making Republicans look bad,”

John Nichols: Gerrymandering empowers obstructionists like Robin Vos and Scott Fitzgerald | John Nichols
Gerrymandering is a vile scourge on democracy all over the country. But one could argue it’s at its worse right here in Wisconsin. We had the perfect putrid petre dish for it with the Three HorsesAsses of the Apocolypse — Robin Vos, Scott Fitzgerald and Scott Walker. We got rid of one. And we have to finish the job before the Great State of Wisconsin is nothing more than Wisissippi.
The gerrymandering of Wisconsin’s Legislature is now so severe that legislators are less interested in respecting the will of the people than at any time in Wisconsin history.
