Just wow, if the U.S. Supreme Court actually is about to overturn Roe v. Wade and its companion Planned Parenthood v. Casey. We agree that Roe was “wrongly decided.” Courts cannot legislate desired outcomes by judicial fiat. The actual decision won’t be announced until summer but its impact on every federal and state election — right down to the state assembly — is genormous!
They’re very old now, the Henry Wallace Democrats who believe to this day that the Cold War communist spy Alger Hiss was innocent. They share the same clean white room with those who insist the moon landing was staged, that LBJ whacked JFK, that O.J. is innocent, that the Twin Towers were imploded from within, and that Donald Trump won the 2020 presidential election.
“The theft of an election is finally being exposed!” exults Waukesha County Republican factotum Keith Best. Finally, the rapture! After the quest for bamboo ballots, the expertise of the My Pillow guy, and Hugo Chavez conspiracies, after 61 courts of law and Trump’s own Justice Department — after all that went POOF! Suddenly PROOF!
It’s all recorded in the video 2000 Mules — “mules” referring to third parties who ferry illegal narcotics on their person.
With Paul Gosar? That should be a clue of its own!
Conservative activist Dinesh D’Souza bases 2000 Mules on geo-tracking from smart phones to locate activity at outdoor ballot drop boxes of the kind used here in Madison WI. An organization known as “True the Vote” noted that some people kept returning to the vicinity of the boxes, thereby activating the conspiracy virus. Who Are These People?!!!
Wisconsin Republicans are right to ban unattended drop boxes and ballot harvesting. But it is a jump, reporter Philip Bump analogizes, to conclude that the ballots themselves were fraudulent. “If he has evidence of this, he’s cracked the voter-fraud thing wide open. Except that he doesn’t. Even True the Vote doesn’t allege that the ballots themselves were fraudulent. … When two True the Vote representatives testified in front of a Wisconsin legislative committee, the group’s Catherine Engelbrecht said so publicly:
“I want to make very clear that we’re not suggesting that the ballots that were cast were illegal ballots. What we’re saying is that the process was abused.”
Reporting that late March 2022 hearing, the Wisconsin State Journal reported: The group declined to make its data available, making it impossible to assess its validity. Many drop boxes may have been located in central locations, like a city hall, near apartments or restaurants, frequented by the public, the WI Elections Commission noted.
Rather than pierce the boil of a stolen election …
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos tried to placate RITOs (Republicans In Trump Only) by appointing election conspiracist Mike Gableman to “investigate,” hoping that he would flame out as did the Maricopa County investigation. Instead, Vos is taking incoming from both sides.
In “The Republican plot to lose Wisconsin,” The Wall Street Journal scolds, “Michael Gableman isn’t a secret Democratic double agent, but he’s sure acting like one. … Their priority ought to be beating Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.”
Wisconsin’s 10 electoral votes for President Biden were counted on Jan. 6, 2021. There is no mechanism to nullify them. A resolution to “decertify” is akin to a voter shouting at the end of the bar at 2 a.m. that his 2020 ballot is hereby rescinded.
Blaska’s Bottom Line quotes the WSJ: “Mr. Trump lost Wisconsin in 2020 on his own, and if Republicans keep chasing ghosts, he will also help them lose in 2022.”

So abortion is the new current thing. Covid and Ukraine go to the back of the crowd like Liza Minnelli in Ellen’s Oscar selfie.
Question for the Republicans here … are you ok with R v W being overturned at the potential expense of R losses in November? I think the Ron Johnsons are going to be more vulnerable. Lasry is already all over it. FYI, it’s a political consideration separate from whatever you may think of the final SC opinion.

In my opinion, if Roe vs. Wade is overturned, it will not bode well for Republicans. Today’s paper says that in 2020, 69% of voters said the Roe v. Wade decision should be left as is and that most of the public favors abortion being legal in most or all cases.

Gableman will not “flame out” if Vos keeps giving him extensions. They are all deleting e-mails, destroying documents, thumbing their noses at the courts. They have no proof. NONE. The longer this scam goes on the more the gop will look like fools and grifters. Gableman owns the building they are working out of and why is Kaardal paying 3000/month for his office space to Gableman. It’s time to bury this dead fish Vos.

I disagree with your opposition to Overturning the 2020 election. If we let it go they will keep doing it. Now that they know the cell phones gave them away they will adjust. Like fingerprints and using gloves. How much evidence do you need. ???!!!!

The absentee ballots placed in drop boxes have names. Do the names exist? Are they eligible voters? That’s what counts, not who walked past a drop box three times. That said, the Werkes supports eliminating drop boxes entirely to remove all doubt — although we suspect you will continue to spurn the results of elections you lose. But we tried.

We are now the u.s.s.a, power has been ceded to the uniparty. Nail meets coffin. Each state runs election differently, if the courts say normal election procedures can be suspended and all votes count under new temporary procedures no matter how they are collected and cast. There is nothing you can do about it. Just have to live with it the new procedures. GOP needs to use same methods. It is about Adapt or lose.

Hey let’s not end abortion and while we’re at it, why don’t we add grandma and grandpa who are in the dementia unit at the nursing home to the list of life that is not worthy of life? Or how about those kids and adults who are severally developmentally or emotionally disabled?
Point is that if rights are subject based solely on the humanity of the individual human, and the definition of that humanity is subject to change, then there are no rights for the common man, only those in power will have rights.
From our Declaration of Independence:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.”
Either all men are created equal or they are not!
As I recall, at one point in our history, we fought a civil war to make the point that all men are created equal.

Reread your last line … how many died in the civil war and why was their “equality” so easily extinguished? Point is our rights come from strength and sacrifice. Take those away and you won’t have anything left a few decades from now. Sadly that seems inevitable.
As Jordan Peterson says it’s sickening to see people clamor for rights but not be willing to take up RESPONSIBILITIES.
