Undoing an election's consequences

Even as the United States fights a "kinetic military action" in Libya, there's plenty of non-"kinetic" con flict here at home. It's a war for our economic viability and the validity of our electoral process -- and it's one we can't afford to lose.

Start in Wisconsin, the proxy battleground pro tem of the intensified national partisan conflict. Democrats there still refuse to accept that elections have consequences: They're still trying to block and/or roll back Gov. Scott Walker's agenda by any means.

With the state facing a $3.1 billion shortfall over the next two years, Walker won office on a reform platform, and voters also gave the Republican Party control of both houses of the Legislature. But that hasn't quailed the opposition.

After weeks of delay thanks to the Democratic walkout, Republicans found a way to pass Walker's bill to strip some public-employee unions of their collective-bargaining privileges. So then the Democrats took it to court, where a liberal county judge issued a temporary injunction against the law. When the Republicans found a way around the judge's order and began implementation over the weekend, she issued a new one. Walker's aides say they're "evaluating" her decision.

It gets worse. Wisconsin's Supreme Court is supposed to be nonpartisan. But with conservative Justice David Prosser up for re-election to a new 10-year term in a closely divided court, the left -- in the guise of something called the Greater Wisconsin Committee -- is preparing to pour up to $3 million into an ad campaign to destroy his reputation and boost his opponent, Assistant Attorney General JoAnne Kloppenburg, in the hopes of using the state's highest court to undo Walker's work.

At least Wisconsin is starting to act like the federal G should under the cry baby now in charge...
As far as I am concerned the federal g in its present state could shut down forever, it is anti USA, picking our pockets, fighting wars we don’t need and directing our energy needs to some cartoon show of total BS..., while allowing our enemies to come on down!!!

The left have shown their true colors in Wisconsin. When they, the left, are in the majority all are there to vote including Republicans. When they lose the election and are the minority, they act like spoiled kids and try any means to get their way. I still have a vivid picture in my mind of the left at the national level. It is Pelosi with her huge gavel.
