Robin Vos Needs To Advise the White House

“I’m not going to negotiate by Twitter. I think that’s kind of BS,” Vos said.

GOP Lame Duck Voting Laws Bite the Dust
Whoops…as many thought when they were passed…the early voting laws passed during the Wisconsin GOP’s lame duck session were struck down in federal court as unconstitutional…just like before:
In a five-page ruling, U.S. District Judge James Peterson concluded the new limits on early voting are invalid because they so closely mirror ones he struck down as unconstitutional in 2016. His decision…

Robin Vos, $850,000, You and Me!
The Wisconsin State Legislature has contracted with a Chicago law firm to defend the legislative districts that the GOP drew back in 2011. But for some reason Assembly Speaker Robin Vos won’t release the details of the contract to the press:

JSOnline Politifact Gives Wisconsin Legislature a Full Flop
Now this time at least, the onus is fully in the GOP camp since they hold unassailable majorities in both the Wisconsin Assembly and Senate. But apparently there was a 2013 agreement to limit the late night activity under the dome at the Capitol. Whoops…the 2018 Lame Duck sessions blew that all to hell!

Wisconsin GOP Honors The Memory of Merrick Garland!
Wisconsin GOP Honors The Memory of Merrick Garland!

But the obstructionist Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested that tradition prevented him from considering the nomination in the Senate and that the next president instead should have the right to select Justice Scalia’s replacement.

Rep. Dale Kooyenga's Rationale Behind the GOP Lame Duck Power Grab in Wisconsin
Rep. Dale Kooyenga’s Rationale Behind the GOP Lame Duck Power Grab in Wisconsin
