Importantly, ‘ex post facto’ laws, or laws passed after an event has happened, resulting in retroactive punishment, are not legal. However, laws can be passed while an event is ongoing, which make what is happening unlawful, so that any *further* actions of that type are criminal.
Therefore, the legislature of Wisconsin should quickly pass a law, which, not being a budgetary matter only needs a simple majority in both houses, that when signed by the governor, could substantially increase criminal penalties for individuals seeking to interfere with legislative business of their legislature.
Optimally, such a law might not have significant confinement penalties, jail time, but it could have *substantial* mandatory fines, that could not be set aside by a judge, as well as being classed in a manner that would result in the revocation of the State teaching license, for those who had one.
I’m thinking, say, $3,000 fine for each offense. And since they are no longer licensed to teach in the State, their teaching contract is voided.
good thinking.
An obviously superior legal mind at work!
