"This happened last September...the fact that Scott Walker said nothing about this....gag order or no gag order....doesn’t make me think much of him, either. I would have been shouting from the rooftops."

Walker has certainly done some good things- but I think his desire for higher office is clouding his judgment. You're absolutely right- he should be SCREAMING about this and show it as how democrats work, and what people can expect from democrats in control.

If you arrest someone they have a right to Miranda. If you drive them to a border crossing it’s detaining not arrest.

Hmm... you put it that way, I'm inclined to picture him in a more contemporary setting... mid-20th century... suited up real cool in some designer threads by Hugo Boss.

Does it work? Yeah, now that you mention it, it does.

It's the eyes.

Be not deceived though, the dude has his light-hearted moments... see him at the gas pump he might even say hi.

A Roman Hastati might cheerfully wave to you as you walk by the Equites stables, too.

No problem, I wouldn’t know the difference my own self. Your point stands though.

They refused the "accused" the ability to call a lawyer.....

OK, we might be making progress here. WHO is THEY? The prosecutors. Under their orders.

It is so indicative that when ever an article about the police on this board, that the cop-hating Libertarians come crawling from under their rocks to post drivel about how oppressed they are in a police state.

None of this BS is worth trying to convince this group that they need to look at the Nifong-esque prosecutors that are driving these situations.

Just not worth my time. So I am done with it. For those of you who want to flame me, go play in traffic. When you get hit, don't call the cops.

The Triarii have the Sculum (the Rectangular curved shield, and the spear). That’s the difference.

And don’t even GET me started about the Velites! OMG!

——the fact that Scott Walker said nothing about this....gag order or no gag order...

Headline: Prosecutor announces indictment of Governor for violating court order.

Matt you had the right tactics but the wrong state...

Sadly you are joining the ranks of Orwell, Huxley and Rand who started out writing fiction but it all is quickly turning into prophesy...

-—He is the top cop. He could issue a pardon and end this.

You don’t realize, he was under a gag order too. Do you realize Walker was forced to turn over several years of emails? No one is above the law. Walker played this correctly. What we need to prayfor is that the Wisconsin Supreme Court makes such an example of John Chisolm that McDonalds won’t hire him.

And if he issued a pardon for the rest of our lives we would be hearing about dirty Walker pardoning some cronies to cover his guilt. Right now Walker can say he’s been investigated for FIVE YEARS and handed over all his emails from two offices and never been charged with bupkis.

A governor Trump wouldn’t have backed down from an unconstitutional gag order.

Headline: Governor Trump spends first night in minimum security prison for gag-order violation in contempt of court.

Hoped for headline: Wisconsin Supreme Court vindicates Walker: John Chisolm can be civilly sued for abuse

I did not know the governor had a gag order on him. This is scary. Thanks for the info.

The whole thing has been frightening. Who knew that good-government Wisconsin had deep-state tyrants? Hopefully we are near the end with the good guys vindicated.

So why isn’t the writer of the article in jail?

There are ways to address this issue without violating a gag order.

You’re being ridiculous.

Walker is completely ignoring the issue. He’s not being law-abiding.... he’s being chicken. Balk, balk, balk balk balk.
