I think they're more concerned that the court, evev with a new vote to pass, would invent some reason why the law is not constitutional. And because it would be a state constitutional issue, there wouldn't be any opportunity for Federal review. They're also concerned that any other such action by the Walker Administration would be thrown out on specious grounds as well.
But your point about not having the votes may be true as well -- if this is a decisive defeat for Prosser, you may start seeing some R's turning into RINOs out of fear of the unions. Which would, frankly, suck.
“...you may start seeing some R’s turning into RINOs out of fear of the unions.”
I think those R’s in question should be more afraid of fiscal conservatives.
Correct. If Prosser loses, the Walker reforms will be voided by the Supreme Court. Period. This will be an exercise of raw power, and they will invent any ridiculous legal rationale they damn well please.
I cannot fathom why so many freepers are being naïve about this.
The national ramifications of a Prosser loss are horrendous.
If Kloppenburg wins, Wisconsin can kiss budgetary reform, concealed carry, and voter ID away. Moochers everywhere will run to the activist Supreme Court to have them all declared unconstitutional.
I doubt that, I believe it will make the Republicans stick together more. I suppose it can go either way but so far from what I’ve seen I beleive it will keep them together.
Especially given the recall attempts going on.
