See, democracy in action. How do you like them apples comrades???
Liberals cannot handle NOT being in power. Either libs in government, or libs in the unions and other liberal groups. Now that the government won’t rubber-stamp everything they want, they throw tantrums. They run away. They run to the courts.
It is sick. Very very sick. The Republicans never did this whne they were the minority and had no chance to stop legislation. These people steamrolled Republicans when they were in the majority.
The Republicans gave them more floor time to debate this in the Assembly - more than any other bill has gotten in the entire state’s HISTORY and it wasn’t enough. They were just ranting for 60 hours.
The rule of law in WI is under attack.

Voters, once again showing their notoriously short attention spans and fickle ways.

Unintended consequences..these recall petitions will be carefully reviewed...I expect that lots of signatures from the Dems will be questioned..
Same thing in Ohio. They are already working to get a ballot initiative overturning the restrictions on collective bargaining. Hopefully the people will be smart enough to see through that.

“When originally passed by Congress in 1970, the RICO Act was aimed at reducing and eventually eliminating the influence of the Mafia and other organized criminal syndicates over the United States economy. In United States v. Turkette, 452 U.S. 576 (1981), the Supreme Court held that RICO applied to both legitimate and illegitimate RICO enterprises. Before that decision, many lower courts attempted to limit RICO to “criminal”, “illegitimate” or “racketeering” enterprises. Given the ruling in Turkette, RICO could be used not only against the Mafia and other criminal organizations but it could be used against corporations, political protest groups, labor unions, loosely knit-groups of people. Literally, a RICO claim could be based upon the activities of any group or organization whose members pursue a common goal.
Many people believed that such an interpretation went well beyond the original intentions of Congress when it passed the RICO Act. Critics of the Turkette decision complained that the RICO Act should be limited to the Mafia, or drug gangs or other clearly criminal groups. But how can one develop a workable and objective limitation? How does one define a “clearly criminal” group? Are such enterprises made up of only Italians or Colombians? The lower court's were never able to answer this question, instead, they basically said: “we don't know how to define a ‘criminal’, ‘illegitimate’ or ‘racketeering’ enterprise but we know one when we see one.” That's not a legal standard that the Supreme Court is likely to approve - nor is it likely to approve a definition based on any racial or ethnic stereotype — especially when the statute does not provide for such a limitation. So, in Turkette, the Supreme Court ruled that when Congress used the term “enterprise” without limitation, Congress meant for RICO to apply to all enterprises — legitimate or illegitimate.”
