Add to that the state legislature has Article I Section 4 power from the US Constitution.
So the GOP held (not gained) a state Senate seat in Wisconsin which, FOR NOW, gives the Republicans a supermajority and therefore gives the party license to do all kinds of great things like impeach Democrats — as if the RINOs won’t bolt to the left at the first sign of anything “controversial” and even one defection renders the supermajority impotent....
Before we get all drunk on the champagne from celebrating this wonderful event, can someone who actually knows something about the laws in Wisconsin please chime in and let us know what is to stop the true winners on Tuesday — the Democrats — from using their newly gained control of the state Supreme Court to:
a. stop anything and everything the Republican supermajority eventually works up the courage (ha) to attempt, and — even more importantly —
b. invalidate the district maps for the state Assembly, state Senate and Congressional districts and then replace those maps with hyper-partisan Democrat gerrymanders?
Not only will those gerrymanders result in “Goodbye, Republican supermajority” but very likely also “Goodbye, ANY Republican majority at all”. And 2 more Congressional districts possibly/probably flipping from R to D as well — CD-1 and CD-3. Who’s going to stop them?
Seeing as how the Democrats campaigned on doing exactly what I stated in item “b” if they won the Supreme Court election, will somebody who knows the law please enlighten us as to why they somehow WON’T do it?
