The legislature of Wisconsin will continue to be republican after this, obviously, or they'd just vote to reverse it.

Politicians do politics. LMAO that in the same state where Obama's IRS used to stage armed raids of conservative organizations leadership you'd be complaining about this.

You are of course welcome to start the civil war any time you like.

I suppose it was worded rather preachy. I genuinely am wondering how people expect a state to function this way though.

Guess I've been moving along the path from liberal to "angry liberal". Today didn't help.

The long and the short of it is that both sides do things that are political but not particularly above board. Although I do think Obama crossed a line with the IRS raids.

Still, that's part of the game. If it wasn't so tense politically, it wouldnt be a national news story.

you think it is right for the lame duck session to do what it is doing?

Do you think Merrick Garland should not have been appointed? He was appointed by a lame duck president.

Um, Merrick Garland was not appointed. Merrick Garland was not even given a hearing.

Merrick Garland was nominated long before the so-called lame duck period, which is after the election. Merrick Garland was stonewalled by Republicans preventing the president from doing his job.

Nominated. He was nominated by a lame duck president.

Merrick Garland was not even given a hearing.

Because we all knew he didn't have the votes. And Obama was a lame duck president. He should not have nominated him, correct?

Merrick Garland was nominated long before the so-called lame duck period, which is after the election.

So if Wisconsin would have done this right before he became a lame duck, you'd be fine with it?

Merrick Garland was stonewalled by Republicans preventing the president from doing his job.

The presidents job is to nominate a candidate. Obama did that. The Senates job is to confirm that nominee. The Senates job is not to automatically confirm the presidents nominee.

The Senate knew that the nominee did not have the votes, so they didn't hold the vote. The president was in no way prevented from doing his job.
