Yes, virtually everything you can imagine will be affected by the outcome of this race from Wisconsin’s political maps and voting laws....
To Wisconsin’s labor and business environment.
Folks, if a liberal court was to start handing the labor movement and public sector unions new victories...Wisconsin’s business climate would absolutely slide back toward what it was-in the Jim Doyle era: anti-business and heavy on the taxes and regulation that drives owners and corporations away. Yes.
If right to work was to be repealed-by four people in black robes- it would be a body blow to the Wisconsin business community...given how many companies insist on building or settling in a right-to-work state, only.
Forced unionization is proven to be a job-killer for the blue states, and right-to-work is proven to be a winner and actually lure businesses in red states- and any change back to forced unionization in Wisconsin- in either the public or private sector- or both-would be quite damaging.
Yes.
That’s just one way an activist liberal court could negatively affect Wisconsin.
Former state senator Dave Craig of Waukesha and conservative operative Jake Curtis explained at the Federalist- how school choice would take a big hit.
An issue impacting tens of thousands of Wisconsin families that could be dramatically affected by the balance of the state Supreme Court is school choice. In 1998, the Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld the choice program for religious schools in Jackson v. Benson. There, the court reversed the lower court, holding that the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program was valid under both the Establishment Clause and Article I, Section 18 of the Wisconsin Constitution, which prohibits the use of money from the public treasury to be used for the benefit of religious societies, religious schools, or seminaries. The holding was based on the fact that students in the program were not compelled to attend sectarian schools nor forced to participate in religious activities. The Court further held that public funds may be given to third parties if the program on its face is neutral between sectarian and nonsectarian alternatives and that the transmission of funds is guided by the decisions of independent third parties.
But if you have four radical justices in the majority who think that the state and u-s constitutions are ‘change-able documents’, then they are going to do whatever their political benefactors want them to do...and simply make up a bogus reason to do it.
Literally nothing is off the table- with activist liberals controlling a high court. The Wisconsin left would-absolutely- scramble to challenge Wisconsin’s voter ID law- the ban on unmanned drop boxes-the ban on ballot harvesting-and any other election law that past legislatures have put in place that are meant to keep them from cheating.
And I’ll emphasize again that- with leftist judges in the majority- they won’t even really feel the need to justify their decisions.
They’ll simply come up with any tortured logic that allows them to rule the way they want to rule.
I’ve seen several times now that-oh- look- the democrats can’t really change our electoral maps much. Remember-governor Evers had a panel that tried-and failed-
And then Evers and his team- at the last minute-tried and failed-
These maps simply can’t be altered much...so...they aren’t really under threat.
Oh really?
Not even when the ultimate ‘deciders’ are four motivated radical justices and there are ‘no rules’ for creating the next set of maps?
Really? You still think they can’t do much damage?
Well. Many of the democrats are in Milwaukee and Dane counties-there are only so many ways you can divide them up...
Oh, really?
You don’t think these women would draw a map that has democrat-controlled districts that look like the spokes of a wheel-that all eliminate out of Madison and Milwaukee with majority chunks of democrats.... that include some republicans in the suburban and rural areas too? Just not enough to ever win the district?
Come on.
Luther Ray Abel is at the national review. He’s a Sheboygan native who went to Lawrence- and he makes the point today that Wisconsin democrats don’t even have a -predicate- for challenging the state’s electoral maps in court, yet.
They don’t even have a genuine, stated reason to legally challenge them-
And they certainly don’t have any workable alternate set of maps that they think would be fairer. Apparently, Luther says, they already expect that the four left-wing judges will simply make them up on their own.
Folks, Tony Evers has left-wing redistricting experts try to create different maps-as he pretended, they were a non-partisan task force.
That group failed.
At the last minute-before the legislature’s maps were adopted- Evers’ team scrambled around and tried to make their own. In that effort-again-they failed.
Because their claims of extreme gerrymanders in Wisconsin are malarkey. They were never true, even though their incessant whining about them has gone on for over ten years, now.
And so-their next big hope is that four smart- and extremely radical- women in black robes can figure it out for them....
Or at least look the other way as they draw up asinine new maps that make no sense and probably violate about five election laws related to racial representation and balanced maps.
